XMLAW Opens Chicago Office, Expands Client Services Team

Chicago (IL), November 13, 2007 – XMLAW, the leading provider of SharePoint-powered products and services to the legal industry, announced the opening of its Chicago, Illinois office to better serve its law firm clients in the U.S. and around the world. In addition to the new office, the company also has expanded its client services team to position itself to best offer a broader range of consulting and implementation services related to its core offerings.

XMLAW has added Microsoft SharePoint certified implementation consultants as well as new staff in product management and client engagement positions in both Chicago and Boston to step-up its ongoing commitment to create and deliver relevant, high-quality and professional products that are functional and productive to legal professionals. The product manager will steer XMLAW’s Enterprise Portal System into future iterations based on the demands of the market and the available and emerging technologies. The client engagement manager will work directly with clients and staff to ensure the successful implementation of the Enterprise Portal System for law firm clients.

“Over the last several years it has become strikingly clear that law firms are looking for more than utilities and tools to support their portal initiatives,” said Robert Beach, Vice President of Client Services and General Manager of XMLAW’s new Chicago office. “To truly achieve a successful portal implementation – where attorneys benefit from instant access to rich, meaningful content and functionality – requires definition, planning, management, and best practice experience, in addition to robust platforms and technologies like MOSS 2007 and the XMLAW Enterprise Portal System. That XMLAW is growing its client services team recognizes this trend, and we will continue to augment our team with the right people to assist our clients in deploying their portal solutions.”

XMLAW, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, was the first company to provide products and services built on SharePoint technology to law firms implementing intranets, extranet and enterprise search. They are the only firm that focuses on end-to-end SharePoint-based solutions for the legal industry. XMLAW’s products connect business applications and resources used in most law firms – such as document management, CRM, time and billing - and powerful enterprise search capabilities into a single, personalized desktop interface called the Enterprise Portal System. The system is designed around how attorneys and legal professionals use information relevant to their practice. XMLAW also delivers expert consulting and implementation services to help firms get the most value from their Microsoft, SharePoint and XMLAW investments.

XMLAW is headquartered in Boston, MA. The Chicago office is located at 200 South Wacker Drive, Suite 3100, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Both offices can be reached via telephone at 781-848-4844.
