Kroll Ontrack to Double R&D Over Next 5 Years

Kroll Ontrack, Inc.
is doubling its R&D team over the next five years.

Nearly eighty new specialists will be hired prior to the end of 2012 in Katowice, Poland, making it the company’s
largest R&D center outside the U.S.

"Data is our passion at Kroll
Ontrack and this is evident in our technology and its performance,"
said Chuck Crymble, CTO, Kroll Ontrack. "This investment in R&D will enable us to better stay ahead of the
data recovery, e-discovery and information management trends and create new
technology solutions that not only address our clients’ needs, but anticipate
them as well as the opportunities in the broader market."

"In addition to developing new legal
and data and storage technologies, the global R&D expansion initiative
better ensures a fully optimized Kroll Ontrack service and project execution
schedule," added Crymble. "Katowice,
in particular, is seven hours ahead of headquarters and several leading
technology universities are in the area, so Kroll Ontrack is able to maximize
its clock coverage with a facility there as well as recruit some of the best
and brightest development talent."

With the addition of the 80 new R&D specialists, the Katowice R&D
center will employ more than 100 IT specialists. It was established in 2004 as part of the Kroll Ontrack Poland branch,
which also houses a large data recovery and computer forensics lab.

On average, 800 cases are resolved in the Kroll
Ontrack Katowice data recovery and computer forensics lab each year.

"We are extremely pleased that Kroll
Ontrack has decided to expand its R&D center in Katowice," said
Piotr Uszok, mayor of Katowice. "The
decision to expand Kroll Ontrack in Poland was undoubtedly influenced by the
increasing investment appeal of our region, but also great universities
educating hundreds of IT specialists annually who graduate poised to put their
skills to work creating new, innovative solutions that influence technology
trends."
