FTVentures Invests in Legal Holds and Retention Management Solutions Provider

PSS SystemsFunding to expand PSS Systems’ product line and international operations

We are pleased to announce that FTVentures has led an $18 million equity financing in PSS Systems, a provider of legal holds and retention management software that helps companies efficiently determine what information must be collected and retained for business, regulatory and legal purposes, as well as routinely disposing of unneeded data. Over 25 Global 1000 customers have deployed PSS Systems solutions to mitigate risks associated with litigation and reduce costs.

PSS Systems’ blue chip customer list features seven of FTVentures financial services limited partners including Citi, Credit Suisse, and Travelers.

Revised Federal rules have changed the information retention landscape by extending the scope of potential evidence to virtually every form of electronic data. PSS Systems’ Atlas software suite helps corporate stakeholders involved in defining, managing and enforcing information-related legal obligations. It provides the following specific value for customers:

  • Reduction of risk by providing a complete view of all relevant information required for litigation and regulations
  • Tangible and significant cost savings through the reduction of legal expenses
  • Reduced data storage costs by providing a defensible, rational way for customers to dispose of information that does not need to be retained.
