National Implementation Will Help Lawyers Find Documents in Seconds

Berkeley, Calif. - August 23, 2005 – Recommind, the leading provider of text management systems for law firms, announced that the law firm of DLA Piper US LLP US LLP plans to expand its use of MindServer Legal Enterprise Search to all US offices in the combined firm. Recommind's MindServer Legal software will enable the firm's 1350 lawyers and their legal staff to quickly and accurately access information within the wide range of documents and content repositories across the newly combined firm.

“Utilizing technology to successfully represent each client is a core value at DLA Piper.

It will facilitate access to information across our larger, combined practice areas and offices, enabling us to quickly leverage the firm's broad knowledge resources,” said Don Jaycox, DLA Piper's CIO.

The MindServer platform is easily integrated into document management, portal, and collaboration tools to provide a single, central access point to a firm's critical knowledge.

“We are very pleased that DLA Piper will be offering MindServer's advanced search capabilities to all 20 of its US offices,” said Robert Tennant, Recommind's CEO. “Satisfied customers are the best evidence of the value we provide. By helping legal professionals quickly find the information they need from anywhere in the firm, we are supporting the fast and efficient delivery of service to their clients.”

MindServer Legal is easily integrated into document management, portal, and collaboration tools to provide a single, central access point to a firm's critical knowledge.
