BRACEWELL & GIULIANI DEPLOYS RECOMMIND FOR FIRM-WIDE ENTERPRISE SEARCH
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 2007 –Recommind, the leading provider of search and automated categorization systems for law firms and enterprises, announced today that Bracewell & Giuliani, one of the nation’s most prominent energy law firms, has deployed the Recommind MindServer™ Legal platform to power its internal information retrieval system. The MindServer Legal platform enables Bracewell & Giuliani’s network of lawyers in nine offices around the world to more effectively search, access, and manage information to support client objectives in a cost-effective manner.
“In Bracewell's sixty-year history, we’ve developed a deep knowledge of energy and financial transactions, litigation and government relations,” said Robert Stephens, partner at Bracewell & Giuliani. “But that knowledge only has value for our clients to the extent that we can access and apply that knowledge quickly and efficiently. We selected Recommind’s platform because our lawyers found it intuitive to use, identifying not only relevant documents and files, but also the on point expertise of individual lawyers in the firm. In comparison with other platforms, Recommind's platform took less time in the searching process, leaving more time for clients.”
Recommind’s MindServer Legal is a comprehensive software suite that integrates a law firm’s applications and information repositories, enabling fast, easy access to relevant information. The platform substantially reduces the time and costs involved in conducting legal research, while improving the quality of work delivered to the end client. Using sophisticated search technology, MindServer Legal 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. Bracewell & Giuliani has deployed the following MindServer Legal components:
- Enterprise Search utilizes powerful concept-based search capabilities to connect relevant information in document management, records management, portal and e-mail systems and myriad other applications and databases with the attorneys that need it.
- Matters & Expertise provides a comprehensive, firm-wide view of matters, deals, cases, and the vast array of expertise contained within a firm by tapping into a variety of information sources such as time and billing systems, CRM applications, intranets, internal firm databases and other information repositories.
"With a broad network of practice groups spanning the globe, Bracewell & Giuliani is a very well-known firm that we are excited to have as a customer,” said Bob Tennant, Recommind’s CEO. “Bracewell & Giuliani is at the epicenter of the business, political and regulatory leadership in the United States and beyond.
