Bottomline Introduces Expanded Capabilities for Legal eXchange™
Convergence of Litigation and Legal Spend Management Functionality Helps Facilitate More Collaborative End-to-End Case Handling Strategies
PORTSMOUTH, NH – June 02, 2009 –
Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today announced expanded capabilities for Legal eXchange. The latest version of Legal eXchange offers advanced litigation management functionality for greater collaboration, efficiency and control of legal spend.
Legal eXchange is the legal spend management platform of choice for 60,000 users and a growing network of 6,000 law firms. Corporate legal and insurance claims departments trust Legal eXchange to increase process efficiencies, strengthen collaboration with outside counsel, and improve case handling strategies.
The new functionality released today allows clients to use Legal eXchange as a single platform for managing the personnel, events, communications, workflow and finances central to managing both litigated and non-litigated matters. By gaining a holistic view of information, all participants associated with a case can leverage this collaborative environment to better manage the entire matter lifecycle.
In addition to the new litigation management capabilities, Legal eXchange now enables users to:
- Share important matter information with internal and external partners through a highly configurable event calendaring tool;
- Create a shared ‘community view’ for matter notes and documentation such as witness statements, investigation detail and case status updates; and
- Better control matter cycle time through enhanced data capture capabilities that allow for event rescheduling and performance analysis.
“Our customers’ legal spend management programs are quickly moving beyond automated invoice approval and into more complex aspects of litigation management,” said Tom Gaillard, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Bottomline Technologies. “With this new functionality, backed by our in-house team of experts, we’re able to help clients achieve their short- and long-term strategic objectives for managing expenses as well as matter outcomes.”
