Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP Selects ISYS Search Software to Enable Intranet Search Across Knowledge Base of 1.8 Million Files

Full-Service Canadian Law Firm to Provide Attorneys and Support Staff with Fast, Efficient Means for Searching and Retrieving Data Contained Across Vast Repository

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2004--

ISYS Search Software (www.isysusa.com), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced that Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP (BD&P) has chosen ISYS:web to enable advanced search capabilities on the company's corporate intranet.
Based in Alberta, Canada, BD&P is a full-service law firm with nearly 300 attorneys and support staff. Over the years, the company has amassed 1.8 million documents that range from precedents and court forms to research memos and client documents. Rather than invest in a document management system, the firm opted to develop proprietary systems for its precedents, memobank and other valuable content. Recognizing these systems required technology for rapid retrieval and re-use of this information, BD&P selected ISYS:web to supply these capabilities.

"As a firm that already maintains a disciplined approach to organizing and managing its knowledge, BD&P sought to complement its internal systems with a proven search solution," said Paul Griffiths, IT manager, Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer. "After carrying out a pilot project, it was clear that ISYS was more than capable of meeting our intranet search needs and delivering a solution that would ensure greater productivity and efficiency among our attorneys and staff."

Apart from enabling fast, convenient retrieval of information and eliminating the occurrence of work duplication, ISYS will also be deployed to help promote the firm's Precedents and Memobank Systems. Griffiths said the firm believes that the more attorneys use ISYS to search these repositories, the more they will see the value of these systems and thus contribute to their growth.
