EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Xiotech® Corporation today announced that it is building a Business Consulting Group that integrates information management, electronic data discovery and incident management capabilities to address the growing compliance management demands facing corporations and organizations.

Xiotech has hired Dean Gonsowski, Esq., as managing director for this new team.
