We got yet another layer of evidence today. Remember, each new venue or partner becomes a little perpetual profit center for Voyant International (OTCBB: VOYT). That's why each one is a big deal. Here's the compelling part though - I still think the surface has barely been scratched.  In any case, Voyant added yet another RocketStream partner this morning....a big one. I don't want to call it high-profile partner, but rather, high-importance - the company is packaging up their software as part of a service used by lawyer's preparing for litigation. Big stuff, and a growing industry.  We'll detail the news and the impact it has on shareholders below. After that, I want to take a quick look at this market, and some sector rotation I see. I blogged yesterday about being at a short-term top, and I still feel we are. After we burn off some of the froth, I think this rebound's sector leaders will remain the leaders.    eClaris Incorporates Voyant's RocketStream There's a good chance you've not heard of eClaris. They're a privately-held company in a field that's somewhat obscure to the average Joe. They're one of the leading providers of something called electronic discovery, or eDiscovery, for short. What's that? Here's most of the definition of eDiscovery from Wikipedia... Electronic discovery, or "e discovery", refers to discovery in civil litigation which deals with information in electronic form...Electronic information is different from paper information because of its intangible form, volume, transience, and persistence...Electronic discovery poses new challenges and opportunities for attorneys, their clients, technical advisors, and the courts, as electronic information is collected, reviewed and produced...Examples of the types of data included in e-discovery include e-mails, Microsoft Office files, accounting databases, CAD/CAM files, Web sites, and any other electronically-stored information which could be relevant evidence in a law suit. Also included in e-discovery is "raw data" which Forensic Investigators can review for hidden evidence...Individuals working in the field of electronic discovery commonly refer to the field as Litigation Support.  I know that's a long definition, but I think it's necessary to really get a grip on the concept. You don't need me to tell you we're living in the information age, and getting more 'cyber' every day. (Just think about how you're reading this message.) Many documents that used to require signatures being inked on paper can now be 'digitally' signed...and never actually printed. E-mails are now considered legal documents, and nothing is ever actually 'deleted' from a hard drive. The list goes on and on, and there's a lot more of this data than there is on paper. eClaris provides a service to lawyers and investigators to facilitate the eDiscovery process. Given the vast amounts of information a law firm could potentially need to sort through for litigation purposes, the ability to quickly send and receive lots of information is crucial. That's where RocketStream comes in. To make their platform more user-friendly, eClaris is adding RocketStream to the package. Documents and data that used to take hours for legal counsel to send now takes only minutes.  Voyant's upside is pretty straight-forward...they're getting a piece of the revenue. They've not disclosed whether eClaris is paying them a flat rate for the technology, a percentage of sales, or both. Any of those relationships should be fruitful though. As for just how big this could be, the eDiscovery industry could be worth more than $4 billion next year, and eClaris is one of the major players in the arena. Even a small fraction of that could be huge for Voyant, since the company is basically at the revenue 'onset' stage. A mere 0.1% of that $4 billion is still $4 million. The bigger message is still the one I was conveying on Tuesday though - there's a market for RocketStream. Proginet was already bundling it with their offer, and now eClaris is doing the same. Nielsen Mobile (a division of Nielsen Ratings) bought the technology a few weeks ago too, and there were other major companies already using RocketStream before we started studying Voyant. Yet, all those current paying customers are nowhere near the total number of potential customers. Most any company these days has massive amounts of data to handle, and conventional data transfer (like e-mail or FTP) just can't adequately deal with the volume of information we're now creating.  As more and more companies follow in eClaris', Proginet's, and Nielsen's footsteps, more and more revenue will be added to Voyant's top line. It's not a sprint though...it's a marathon. The press release is below. Now, about these sectors...   Clear Sector Leaders I'm not going to dwell on the general market too much right now. The last week and a half have been tremendous, but I think we're at a point where we're likely to give a little back as the giddiness wears off. No big deal - that ebb and flow is just the way things are. As long as we don't lose too much ground with any pullback, I suspect there's a little more bullishness (perhaps considerably more) in store. However, I also believe there's going to be a clear disparity among the major sectors. We've already seen it, in fact. Take a look at the nearby performance table for the last eight trading days. Financials are ridiculously higher, while energy stocks are well into the red.  Now take a look at the other nine sectors' performances. The other leaders - consumer discretionary, transportation, and industrials - are all groups that tend to do well in a cyclical bull trend. The laggards are also the names you'd expect to trail in a cyclical bull trend (which doesn't favor consistency or stability) - utilities, materials, and staples. Though I'm still planning on at least a small dip following the recent rally, I also think we're going to keep seeing this basic disparity. Why? Take a look at the six-month results. We're seeing what used to be the worst areas now provide the best returns, and vice versa. There's still a lot of ground to make up though. Be sure to check the blog early and often as we try to navigate through any short-term swings. Timing is still everything, whether you're in the best or worst sectors. I'm just more apt to buy financials on a dip, and likely to sell energy stocks on a short-term pop.   RocketStream and eClaris to Provide Accelerated eDiscovery File Transfer to Law Firms and Corporations Worldwide  eClaris Implements RocketStream(tm) Software Suite to Support Comprehensive eDiscovery Products and Services  Los Angeles and Mountain View, Calif. - July 24, 2008 - RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), and a leading provider of digital content delivery acceleration, today announced that eClaris, LLC has selected RocketStream's technology for its data transfer processes and offerings. With the RocketStream(tm) file transfer acceleration suite, eClaris will provide ultra-fast transfer capabilities to help its clients classify, process and review(tm) their electronically stored data.  "At a time when IT departments face ever-growing challenges in managing increased digital content, RocketStream helps its users satisfy regulatory and corporate governance mandates by offering superior performance and scalability with its data transfer acceleration technology," says Jay Elliot, president of RocketStream. "RocketStream's file transfer solutions are particularly well suited for the eDiscovery market, which values speed and is constantly growing."  According to the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey Report, the eDiscovery market growth is currently projected to reach $3.1 billion in 2008 and increase to $4.1 billion by 2009. eClaris was a contributor to this independent and widely respected survey, which examines responses from over 115 organizations, including Fortune 1000 corporations and law firms who are on the cutting edge of eDiscovery industry standards and strategies.  The Need for Speed "Our customers look for compelling technology to help them quickly identify, process, review and analyze digital data. RocketStream complements our offering by providing accelerated file transfer speeds of up to 200 times faster than traditional FTP (file transfer protocol)," said Jacques Nack Ngue, founder and managing partner at Los Angeles-based eClaris. "As consultants, our team can process terabytes of client information on any given week and it is crucial that the availability of this data gets transferred and exchanged in a secure, reliable, and rapid manner. Together with RocketStream's innovative solutions our services are well-positioned to keep up with our clients' expanding data needs."  eClaris was previously experiencing extremely slow file transfer and latency issues with its data transfer rates. Since implementing RocketStream, the eClaris' data transfer speeds have improved dramatically. For example, a 20 GB file sent over a DS3 connection with 117-ms latency from Los Angeles to New York used to take eClaris about 20 hours with FTP. Using RocketStream's software, the approximate time elapsed is now only a mere one hour.  "Companies are collecting and storing ever-increasing amounts of IT event data to proactively meet compliance requirements, and this large volume of data must be efficiently collected and transported in the eDiscovery process," said William Chen, vice president of enterprise sales at RocketStream. "We are excited about this latest partnership with eClaris because it increases our reach into the substantial eDiscovery market. In addition, this partnership further validates our commitment to providing file transfer acceleration solutions that use a secure and reliable approach to overcome the harmful effects of network latency on IP data throughput. We look forward to building our relationship with eClaris and helping its customers speed up the eDiscovery process."  About eClaris eClaris is a dynamic eDiscovery consulting firm dedicated to helping law firms and corporations classify, process and review electronically stored data.
