DALLAS, June 29, 2009 -- eGistics, Inc. today announced that it has signed a multi-year contract with national claims and risk management provider Avizent to deliver a hosted platform for the archive and retrieval of workers' compensation claims documents. Avizent expects the platform to further streamline its claims management process by utilizing this more efficient document storage and retrieval process, resulting in improved productivity, and increased customer satisfaction.

Productivity reporting also will be provided. All documents will be stored long term and within statutory guidelines in the eGistics hosted archive, which leverages a mirrored architecture with failover.
