Recommind And Field Fisher Waterhouse Win Technology Implementation Of The Year At The 2008 Legal Technology Awards

February 7, 2008 – Recommind, a leading provider of enterprise search and categorisation, has announced that its MindServer Legal deployment at European law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse has been voted Technology Implementation of the Year in the 2008 Legal Technology Awards.  Field Fisher Waterhouse implemented Recommind’s MindServer Legal enterprise search platform in just three months during 2007.  The solution provides a service known as “KnowledgeSearch” across the firm’s main content repositories including the document management system work library, KM library, practice management system, intranet and website, together with external searches of publishing sites such as PLC. 

MindServer Legal is a comprehensive software suite that integrates a firm’s numerous applications and information repositories, enabling fast, easy access to relevant information.  The platform substantially reduces the time and costs involved in conducting research, while improving the quality of work delivered to the clients.  Using patented concept-based search technology, MindServer Legal dramatically improves access to a wide variety of information across large, distributed law firms and returns results in context for more accurate understanding and “actionability” of the information.
 “We are extremely pleased to have been recognised in these prestigious awards – particularly in light of the tough competition in this category,” said Simon Price, UK Sales Director of Recommind.  “We have a very strong background in providing law firms with next generation search tools and these awards demonstrate that Recommind and its customers are setting the benchmark for innovation and excellence in enterprise search and information management.”

Field Fisher Waterhouse also went on to win the City/National Law Firm, Best Knowledge Management and Information Team of the Year, due in part to the firm’s innovative deployment and use of Recommind’s MindServer technology.
