Rapid XMLAW Growth Fuels SharePoint Adoption Within Legal Industry

July 23, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Braintree (MA), July 23, 2007 – XMLAW, the leading provider of SharePoint-powered products and services to the legal industry, announced continued strong revenue and customer growth with nine new customers added during the second quarter of 2007. With these law firms, most of which are ranked in the AmLaw Top 200, the growth further propels the adoption of Microsoft® SharePoint among law firms as a platform to connect business applications and deliver information to attorneys without the need for custom development.

“Our new customers are among the leading law firms in the country. Many of them already knew that SharePoint was a proven platform for a personalized work environment,” said Rob Saccone, President and CEO of XMLAW. “But the platform alone isn’t enough. With XMLAW, they can extend SharePoint from its original foundation to a level that can seamlessly integrate all of the systems and information a firm needs to help their legal professionals operate efficiently every day.” XMLAW’s products offer installable features that bring together applications and simplify the deployment and development processes, enabling law firms to deliver value quickly and at a lower cost.

XMLAW added nine new customers in the second quarter of 2007, increasing its total customer base to more than 50 clients worldwide in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. New customers include Blank Rome LLP; Thompson Hine LLP; Baker Botts LLP; Townsend and Townsend and Crew, LLP; Howrey LLP; and McKenna Long & Aldrich, LLP.

In addition to adding new customers, XMLAW’s growth is further supported by a new larger office located in Braintree, MA and additional expansion in Chicago, IL, and the company continues to hire and train additional staff members to develop new products, consult with clients, and implement projects.

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.

“With our years of experience in the legal industry, these clients will benefit from our ability to deliver a packaged solution to meet their information access needs,” said Saccone. “The Enterprise Portal System will provide them with straightforward and secure access to their information, with minimal time needed for development and deployment.”
