Schoenherr Selects Autonomy for Next-Generation Legal Document Management
Leading Central European Law Firm to Use Autonomy iManage WorkSite to Optimize
Efficiency Through Automation
CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Autonomy Corporation plc , a global leader in infrastructure software for the
enterprise, today announced that leading central European law firm Schoenherr has
selected Autonomy's flagship legal document management platform, iManage
WorkSite, for the effective management of its mission-critical electronic
information across its twelve offices in central Europe. The purpose-built
technology, powered by Autonomy's core infrastructure software, IDOL (the
Intelligent Data Operating Layer), will enable Schoenherr to improve employee
productivity and responsiveness, boost internal collaboration, and ultimately
reduce costs and increase client satisfaction.
Schoenherr is one of the leading corporate law firms in central Europe, operating
offices in twelve countries in the region. With a combination of experienced
lawyers and young talent, the firm maintains a tradition of advising clients in
all fields of commercial law, providing a seamless service that transcends
national and company borders.
Autonomy iManage WorkSite utilizes the intelligence of IDOL and its full array of
information processing capabilities to provide Schoenherr lawyers a single
environment for storing, accessing, sharing, and reusing matter-centric content,
as well as tracking related updates, milestones, and communications. Using
WorkSite, Schoenherr lawyers will be able to quickly and seamlessly create
electronic matter files containing all documents and emails related to a case,
providing a comprehensive view of each client portfolio. Furthermore, users will
be able to find any matter or document across the firm in seconds using powerful,
meaning-based search capabilities, including metadata searching, file type
analysis, date ranges and keyword searching.
Providing fast and intuitive access to relevant information, WorkSite will enable
Schoenherr users to easily find and leverage firm expertise and matter knowledge
in order to keep ahead of stringent case timelines and respond to client needs
quickly and efficiently. WorkSite's centralized repository being much easier to
manage than shared network drives built in-house, the solution will also improve
IT efficiency, reducing operational costs.
"Schoenherr prides itself in being able to handle all aspects of even the most
complex legal cases. We do this by assembling tailor-made workgroups across our
network of offices and focusing on the sharing of resources, local knowledge and
international expertise," said Georg Tichy, CFO at Schoenherr. "Adopting Autonomy
iManage WorkSite has given us a document management platform that closely mirrors
this vision of knowledge sharing and collaboration and we look forward to a great
increase in productivity and client satisfaction as a result."
"Our solution is tailored to the way lawyers work, allowing them to access the
information they need across a raft of data types, all on a single platform and
through an intuitive interface," commented Glenn Perachio, VP Autonomy Protect
Solutions EMEA. "For a multinational law firm such as Schoenherr, boasting a rich
diversity of talents, languages and expertise amongst its lawyers, enabling
collaboration among offices and workgroups is key to boosting productivity.
Autonomy is uniquely positioned to assist Schoenherr in this initiative and make
it a reality within a short timeframe."
Autonomy iManage is the undisputed leader in legal knowledge management, powering
over 1,700 law firms globally, including 75% of the Global 100, 73% of AmLaw 100
and 75% of the 20 largest law firms in continental Europe. An increasing number
of firms are standardizing on Autonomy iManage WorkSite for the management of
their matter-centric electronic information, due to its unique conceptual
capabilities, performance, security, scalability, ease-of-use, format and
language agnosticism, and the ability to provide a comprehensive set of document
management tools on one common platform.
