Omega Targets Legal Market With Filero Software Built on CACH=C9 =
Database
Web-based Law Firm-Wide Information Management System
Leverages CACH=C9 Performance, Scalability for Legal Market Sector
Cambridge, Mass.=97August 24, 2004=97InterSystems Corporation today =
highlighted the launch of Filero, a law firm-wide information management =
system by Omega, an InterSystems application partner.
The world=92s fastest growing database company, Cambridge, Mass.-based =
InterSystems provides high performance software products that enable =
rapid application development, integration and deployment for IT =
organizations and independent software vendors. Omega, headquartered in =
Phoenix, Ariz., is a leading provider of integrated accounting and =
practice management solutions to the legal and professional services =
sectors.
Filero is a scalable law firm-wide information management system that =
enables simple, full-text Web-based searches of all firm documents from =
any location. This single-click query enables lawyers or their =
assistants to search across all firm databases and applications to =
quickly locate and use firm files, including emails, PDF files, billing =
records, audio or video, or even CAD/CAM drawings for court =
presentations, allowing them to focus their billable hours on more =
valuable client needs. Omega will offer Filero=97as well as Libero, a =
library management system already used by major law firms and more than =
450 other organizations=97to the U.S. legal market as part of an =
exclusive distribution agreement with German software company LIB-IT =
GmbH.=20
"The high performance, scalability and rapid development delivered by =
CACH=C9 combined with Filero=92s comprehensive features provide the =
synergy critical to success in the demanding legal sector," says =
InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning Paul Grabscheid. "We =
welcome the opportunity to work closely with Omega as they bring Filero =
to market."
According to LIB-IT President and CEO Jeremy Causley, Omega was an ideal =
partner for LIB-IT not only because of its technical expertise in =
practice management, but also because all three technologies=97Omega =
Legal, Filero and Libero=97are based on CACH=C9, which provides a unique =
fusion of two mainstream technologies in a post-relational database. =
Offering the full set of object capabilities developers prefer when =
building applications to run in the inherently object-oriented Web =
environment, CACH=C9 is also fully SQL-compliant to support fast, easy =
queries. CACH=C9 is designed for ultra high performance transaction =
processing applications and enables Omega Legal, Filero and Libero to =
support both historical reporting and real-time transactions from the =
CACH=C9 database, which can manage extremely large volumes of even the =
most complex data.
Omega President and CEO Donald A. Gall agrees. "With Filero, law firms =
can now track files=97whether emails or billing records=97from one =
system rather than several, a much more efficient and less =
time-consuming process," he says. "And when combined with Omega Legal, =
firms can also conduct conflict of interest searches through all their =
information, including their accounting system, emails and attachments, =
and other documents, making their conflict of interest searches much =
more reliable and complete."=20
Solution for Information Chaos
"Filero just might be the answer we=92ve been looking for to combat the =
information chaos that permeates throughout the law firm," says Andrew =
Z. Adkins III, legal technology consultant with the University of =
Florida's Legal Technology Institute. "With Filero, law firms can store =
all of their documents and emails in one powerful database that even =
lawyers themselves can feel comfortable searching through wherever they =
have Internet access. And with its full-text capabilities, they can get =
to the information they're searching for in seconds, enabling them to be =
more efficient with their work day."=20
Baker & McKenzie (www.bakernet.com) has already recognized the benefits =
of both Filero and Libero. In August 2003, Baker & McKenzie=92s =
Frankfurt office installed a 500-user Filero system on a central server =
to control and manage files of all of their offices in Germany and =
Austria. Baker & McKenzie was already familiar with LIB-IT because they =
had been successfully using its library management system, Libero, for 4 =
years. Filero was selected because it could easily convert its 1.3 =
million data records and its flexibility enabled Baker & McKenzie to =
organize, control, track, archive and find all its client information in =
the best way for their firm. Filero was implemented within three months =
and went live with just a 2.5 hour videoconference training session to =
70 team leaders, thus proving how easy it is to use.
Comprehensive Functionality
Filero, available for all common server platforms and network =
environments, enables the storage, archiving, scanning, managing, =
full-text searching, issuing, tracking and auditing of all kinds of =
information of any size.=20
Filero also offers:
a.. Document security (LDAP) as well as access to central information =
sources, including full control on who has access to the files;=20
b.. Tracking of version changes, enabling them to be logged, indexed =
and searchable;=20
c.. Single point of content access through Web browsers;=20
d.. The ability to check out files, with detailed audit trails of who =
currently has the document and when it was last checked out;=20
e.. Ease of use, requiring minimal training for those conducting the =
searching;=20
f.. Platform independence; =20
g.. Single architecture design requiring a single server for most =
small to medium size firms;=20
h.. E-mail management, including attachments;=20
i.. Customized views for each user.
Pricing & Availability=20
Filero and Libero are available from Omega now, with pricing between =
$450 and $650 per seat.
