Interwoven Solution Helps Leading Law Firm Unify and Simplify Search Experience
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GEARUP 2008 -- One of the largest hurdles law firms face today is providing lawyers with simple and fast access to the exact information they are looking for, while at the same time maintaining a secure environment. With information often coming from several sources, firms typically need to search across multiple systems to find pertinent data, creating a confounding array of results that take hours to sort through. Faced with this challenge, leading intellectual property law firm, Finnegan, turned to Interwoven (Nasdaq: IWOV), a global leader in content management solutions, to maximize the value of their information assets and, in turn, the productivity of the staff.

Finnegan selected Interwoven Universal Search -- Professional Services Edition to provide firm professionals with a solution that immediately and accurately delivers results for ensuring optimal sharing of firm expertise. Interwoven Universal Search enables professionals to securely search, access, and use data from multiple internal and external content sources.
Presented in an intuitive and easy to navigate Web interface, search results are clearly categorized according to subject and document type. In an information-rich business, where content can appear very similar from one data source to the next, search relevancy and clarity can spare professionals hours of wasted time.
"As our firm moved to electronic records, we recognized the need to unify the search experience and create better efficiency for our attorneys," states John Kuttler, director of IT at Finnegan. "When I saw that Interwoven Universal Search could pull from multiple repositories and do so with speed, ease and relevancy, I knew I had found a valuable solution."
For Finnegan's intellectual property attorneys searching for particular patent data, there is an extensive array of information scattered over disparate repositories, including Interwoven WorkSite, the firm's Intranet, the http://www.finnegan.com Web site, and the firm's CPI docketing system. Interwoven Universal Search collects the results and spotlights high-value content with advanced visualization and dynamic categorization, making it easy for the Finnegan team to zero in on relevant results.
"Finnegan first selected Interwoven eight years ago, and our decision has continually been validated through Interwoven's ability to innovate and enhance their product line to fit needs of this increasingly complex industry."
Mike Younts, CEO of Younts Consulting, which helped integrate Interwoven Universal Search at Finnegan said, "The essence of this solution is its ability to deliver relevant content all together in one view. Before Interwoven Universal Search, users had to search multiple data sources all with different user interfaces. Now multiple sources of data can be searched within one interface and can be presented in a unified customizable format. Within this format we can highlight important data and allow for the expansion of the view to additional sources. This product greatly enhances the way knowledge workers gain access to information and gives them the ability to leverage it."
