Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP Selects Recommind’s MindServer Search For Firm Wide Information Management
Firm Uses Industry’s Leading Enterprise Search Solution to Provide Information Workers with Instant, Accurate Access to Information, Matters and Expertise
San Francisco – July 21, 2010 – Recommind, the leader in search-powered information management solutions for enterprises and law firms, today announced that Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC), the 6th largest law firm in Canada with approximately 1400 lawyers and staff, has selected Recommind’s MindServer™ Search for next-generation information access. MindServer Search combines sophisticated, concept-based search technology with a simple user interface to provide highly accurate results that are tailored to the information requirements of the organization and its individual users.
“This powerful and intelligent search platform takes our knowledge management program to a new level, providing all members of the firm with quick and easy access to needed information,” said Ginevra Saylor, FMC’s National Director of Knowledge Management. “MindServer Search enables our people to work even more efficiently and effectively so we can better serve our clients.”
With the solution implemented across its network, FMC will be able to instantly crawl, index and access information from Autonomy iManage™, Exchange folders, Microsoft SharePoint™, email archives, time & billing systems, docketing systems and additional sources. FMC will deploy MindServer Search as the primary search technology across all systems, making firm information and work product exponentially more usable and actionable across the organization.
To further supplement its knowledge management efforts, FMC has also implemented Recommind’s Matters & Expertise™ module and QwikFind™ search bar. Matters & Expertise™ provides a comprehensive, firm-wide view of matters, deals, cases and experience, enabling employees to identify colleagues with expertise in or knowledge of a specific query within a matter of seconds. And the unique QwikFind search bar provides instant access to MindServer Search from within Microsoft Office applications (i.e. Word, Outlook, Excel) or from the desktop toolbar, negating the need to launch a separate browser window or application in order to perform a firm-wide search.
MindServer Search is built on Recommind’s patented CORE™ (Context Optimized Relevancy Engine) platform, a fully automated information management layer that automatically understands content in context. The CORE platform uses the most advanced and accurate concept-based search and categorization technology available and seamlessly and securely integrates structured and unstructured data. By building targeted solutions on top of the CORE platform, customers of all sizes and industries are able to find and process the exact information they need to immediately take action, enjoying faster, more accurate and efficient eDiscovery, regulatory compliance, collaboration and knowledge management solutions.
