Omtool Hosts Fifth Annual CIO Luncheon

This invitation-only luncheon focuses on optimizing the value of legal organizations' existing IT infrastructures to integrate and streamline their entire paper and electronic document lifecycle. The goal is to show firms how to leverage their current technologies and investments through best practices and concrete examples of current use cases to deliver increased productivity from document-intensive business processes.

For Taylor Wessing LLP, an integrated solution of Interwoven's WorkSite(R), Records Manager(R), and Universal Search(R) and Omtool AccuRoute(R) provided dramatic cost savings while improving efficiency. "In 2008, our firm was moving to a new location in the city of London," said Tim Hyman, IT director. "Prior to the move, instead of relocating all of our hardcopy files, we decided to implement a more efficient electronic-matter file strategy. This strategy helped us save more than $1 million in moving and storage costs alone by culling, capturing, and profiling many of those documents that could then be destroyed or sent offsite. In turn, this gave us the ability to customize the building layout for optimum fee-earning space and minimal 'dead space' for storage."

Interwoven and Omtool's CIO Luncheon will highlight how:

-- Document management leads to comprehensive information accessibility;

-- Document capture and routing leads to more efficient, matter-centric document management;

-- Converting and storing documents lead to organized search capabilities; and

-- Most importantly, leveraging existing legal solutions can decrease costs, increase productivity, improve governance, and achieve measurable ROI.

"The CIO Luncheon is an ideal forum for legal executives to meet, learn, and discuss the most efficient technologies and business processes for managing their entire matter lifecycle," said Dave Packer, senior director, PSIS marketing with Interwoven. "Omtool and Interwoven are pursuing similar strategic goals to create those technologies that translate into better products and services for the legal industry."

"As leaders in the legal IT market, Omtool and Interwoven continue to strengthen and provide comprehensive solutions for our mutual customers," said Karen Cummings, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Omtool. "The goal of our streamlined technologies is to provide our customers with one comprehensive solution that is easy to install, deploy, use, and expand, and that ultimately provides significant ROI in both money and time. We look forward to providing an opportunity for legal executives to share new information, network with colleagues, and gain new insights into streamlining their operations."

Omtool will also participate in Interwoven's Partner Pavilion at LegalTech, using the forum to show the seamless integration between Omtool AccuRoute and Interwoven WorkSite. Thaddeus Bouchard, Omtool's chief technology officer, will present a focused product demonstration of AccuRoute in Interwoven's Demo Room at the Warwick Hotel on Monday, Feb. 2, at 10 a.m. EST.
