Migration is first phase of shift to matter lifecycle approach
enabled by Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) for Legal TORONTO, ON, and
ILTA '06, ORLANDO, FL, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Hummingbird Ltd. (NASDAQ:HUMCNASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:HUM), a leading
global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM)
and network connectivity solutions, today announced that Hall,
Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman P.C., recognized as one of the
preeminent health law firms in the United States, has successfully
completed deployment of Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) DM (DM), marking
the completion of the first phase of the firm's switch from its
previous document management vendor to Hummingbird's centralized
proactive compliance system for managing client information
throughout the matter lifecycle. With the implementation of DM, the
core repository for the firm's work in process, Hall Render can now
manage client/matter information from matter inception through to
final disposition. Hummingbird partner, Onward Technologies, a
full-service IT solutions provider to law firms and enterprise
professionals, worked in conjunction with the Hall Render IT team
to oversee the design and implementation of the conversion process.
"Hummingbird Enterprise DM represents a major component of the
firm's overall enterprise information architecture. Moving from a
stand-alone document management system to a comprehensive proactive
compliance platform will allow us to leverage existing technology
investments and integrate with emerging technologies," said Jason
Barkes, Director of Information Technology at Hall Render. The
combination of Hummingbird Enterprise DM, LegalKEY(R) product suite
and Microsoft Exchange Server creates a matter-centric environment
for managing client information which was a key factor in Hall
Render's decision to switch from their previous document management
provider to Hummingbird early this year. "As Hall Render considered
its forward-looking plans for information management, it became
increasingly clear that only Hummingbird could offer a proven,
end-to-end solution," said Matt Dell, Vice President, Business
Development, Onward Technologies. "Furthermore, the firm
appreciated Hummingbird's flexibility and pricing that allows users
to utilize whatever interface works best for them, rather than
being forced to purchase multiple licenses for various interfaces."
"As was the case with Hall Render, more and more law firms are
recognizing the need for a coherent and comprehensive system for
collecting, storing and managing client information without
sacrificing ease-of-use or productivity," explained Yuri Frayman,
Vice President, Legal Business Solutions, Hummingbird Ltd. "We are
extremely pleased to be their provider of choice and are excited to
work with them every step of the way as they continue to move
toward a centralized technology framework for managing
client/matter information." Hummingbird will demonstrate
Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) for Legal including the LegalKEY product
suite at booth #306/308 at the International Legal Technology
Association '06 conference to be held August 21-24 at Grand Lakes
Resort in Orlando, Florida. About Hall, Render, Killian, Heath
