(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020306/SFW026LOGO ) The iManage E-mail Management Solution provides a comprehensive and scalable way to solve the pressing e-mail management issues facing many organizations. The solution consists of two parts: -- WorkSite Communication Server: The latest extension of the iManage WorkSite(TM) application suite, WorkSite Communication Server makes it simple for companies to capture e-mail correspondence in context by subject, such as the client matter or deal to which it pertains, and merge it with other relevant documents and content in a collaborative content management system. By keeping all e-mails in a single, easily searchable repository, rather than in individual user in-boxes and archives, iManage maintains a complete record of all correspondence on each matter, aids compliance and helps companies respond more effectively to client inquiries. -- iManage MailSite(TM): iManage's market leading e-mail client integrates the iManage repository with Microsoft Outlook. As a result, the entire iManage WorkSite repository is exposed in Outlook; e-mails can be dragged and dropped directly into the repository alongside all other business content; and users can view and check in/check out any content from within Outlook. Similar integrations are available for Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise. Firms throughout the legal industry have purchased and are deploying iManage's E-mail Management Solution, including: Lane Powell Spears & Lubersky: Lane Powell Spears Lubersky LLP has offices in Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Anchorage, Alaska; Olympia, Washington; Vancouver, Washington; and London, England. Founded in 1875, the firm has approximately 180 attorneys handling matters for clients locally, nationwide and internationally. McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth: McCormick Barstow, founded in the early 1950's, is one of the largest law firms in central California with practice groups focused on: Business and Personal Planning; Commercial and Business Litigation; Employment Law; Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith; Professional Liability; and Tort/Specialty Litigation. Robinson & Wood: Established in 1962, Robinson & Wood, based in San Jose, Calif., focuses on practice group areas including: Appellate Practice, Business Transactions, Construction Defect Litigation, Employment Law, Estate Planning and Probate, Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation, Insurance Fraud, Intellectual Property Litigation, Products Liability, Professional Liability, Public Entity and Transportation Liability. By solving e-mail overload, the iManage E-mail Management Solution delivers extensive benefits to companies and their users. Full integration with desktop applications and the iManage WorkSite repository greatly reduces the time it takes for users to file correspondence and other e-mails, which increases efficiency and productivity. The solution enables firms to reduce their legal exposure by instituting and enforcing standard e-mail retention and destruction policies in line with government regulations. By enabling IT departments to periodically purge selected e-mails, the solution optimizes e-mail performance and lowers overall costs. Additionally, improved customer service is made possible by capturing a complete record of all customer communication. Said Janice Couch, Chief Information Officer, Lane Powell Spears Lubersky LLP, "Our decision to implement the iManage Email Management Solution was predicated on two things -- a need to effectively store and manage client related emails and a need to make that content available, if appropriate, in our firm's knowledge management project. The iManage E-mail Management Solution effectively addresses both of those needs." "No document management system can be complete without accounting for e-mails, which represent a large portion of the content generated by firms and their clients," said Chris Junker, iManage vice president of Legal Sales. "Our E-mail Management Solution brings these messages into the same unified environment as the other case or project matter they relate to, while full desktop integration makes e-mail management a seamless and intuitive part of a user's work process."
