IntApp and Recommind Partner to Strengthen Confidentiality Controls for Law Firms

Recommind integrating its Decisiv™ Email email management platform with IntApp’s Wall Builder confidentiality management product, enabling firms to give attorneys rapid access to client information while maintaining internal access controls

PALO ALTO, Calif.--August 27, 2008- IntApp Inc., the leading provider of risk management, time capture and integration software for the legal industry, and Recommind, the leading provider of enterprise search, email management and eDiscovery systems for enterprises and law firms, today jointly announced a partnership to deliver enhanced information access and confidentiality controls for the legal industry.

Through the partnership, Recommind is integrating its email filing solution, Decisiv Email, with Wall Builder, IntApp's confidentiality management product. Wall Builder enables organizations to centrally control, monitor and report on user access permissions across multiple applications including document management, accounting, CRM and records management systems.

Law firms must closely manage and track internal access to client information for many reasons. These include waiver-driven ethical screens, client outside counsel guidelines, and compliance with regulations such as SEC, SOX, HIPAA, ITAR and European Union Market Abuse and Privacy Directives.

In many environments, attorneys and staff are individually responsible for setting security limitations on restricted internal documents and data. This approach can result in omissions or errors that leave sensitive client or firm information exposed and accessible by unintended parties. By centralizing law firm confidentiality management, Wall Builder serves as a single, authoritative repository of confidentiality policies and automated enforcer of access permissions.

This challenge is particularly acute with email. Though e-mail is a critical business tool in the practice of law today, many firms do not maintain highly organized client- and matter-centric "files" of email-based information for efficient, secure, auditable access by appropriate practitioners. Decisiv™ Email enables firms to address email management challenges with sophisticated conceptual search and categorization technology that automatically organizes and files critical email-based information with virtually no user involvement.

"Law firms that rely on manual information management and security procedures - particularly those relating to email - face increased information access risk," said Derek Schueren, Vice President of Business Development, Recommind. "By using Recommind's Decisiv Email application in conjunction with IntApp Wall Builder, firms can give attorneys quick access to the information they need to be effective, while enforcing real-time confidentiality controls."

"We're pleased to partner with Recommind to certify their Decisiv Email application for Wall Builder," said Pat Archbold, Vice President of IntApp's Risk Practice. "Together, our products provide law firms with greater visibility of and control over sensitive client information stored within their organizations, reconciling conflicting demands for high information availability and stringent access rules."
