Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP selects Hummingbird Enterprise for Legal with LegalKEY

IA Systems and Hummingbird Ltd, a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions, announced that leading US law firm, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP, is standardising on Hummingbird Enterprise for Legal across all offices.

"LegalKEY Practice Support was developed for and tailored to a law firm environment, using a client/matter approach that makes the systems easy to understand and adopt," says Daniel Hall, CEO of IA Systems.

The fully integrated matter lifecycle management solution, including LegalKEY Practice Support, will provide its lawyers with the most current, applicable and effective system to complement and enhance the firm`s business practices, streamline processes, improve efficiencies, mitigate risks and meet knowledge management goals and compliance requirements.

"Hummingbird Enterprise for Legal has been designed to allow the compliance layer to be infused directly into business operations to enable the automation of retention and compliance policies," said Yuri Frayman, Vice-President, Legal Vertical Solutions, Hummingbird Ltd.

"The new Hummingbird Enterprise Client for Microsoft Outlook will allow our users to conduct their business entirely from within the Outlook interface, from the creation of a new client-matter and a conflicts check, to the closing of a matter and automatic creation of records. Our lawyers will have access to all their processes through one interface to more effectively manage their business," said Andy Jurczyk, Chief Information Officer, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP.

In addition, Sonnenschein plans to leverage Hummingbird`s leading reporting and data integration tools. Hummingbird BI will be used to implement a standard reporting system across all the firm`s mission-critical applications, including its document management, CRM and time and billing systems, allowing for consolidation of reporting procedures and streamlining of report creation and distribution firm-wide. Sonnenschein also plans to leverage Genio, Hummingbird`s data integration solution, to consolidate data from various business applications into a new central data warehouse to allow for better analysis of the business.
