ILTA 2012 Booth #322, August 28, 2012 – Bridgeway Software, the most recommended provider of legal services management solutions, today announced the availability of Bridgeway E-mail Link and Bridgeway eCounsel version 8.6; both designed to improve attorney productivity and enable sound, data-driven, strategic decisions.  By leveraging these latest matter management products, legal professionals can better control information by having secure real-time access to legal matters anywhere, anytime via the Web.  In its ongoing effort to help legal professionals easily manage and access matter-related information securely and in real-time via the Web and mobile devices, the Company today announced the following:

• Bridgeway E-mail Link: This innovative product was developed for busy legal professionals who need rapid access to crucial information quickly.  By putting matter, entity, spend and document information at their fingertips, Bridgeway E-mail Link improves attorney productivity by providing instant interaction with critical information directly from the attorney’s e-mail system, whether a desktop system like Microsoft Outlook, or the e-mail systems of tablets or smartphones like Apple’s iPad or iPhone.  All this is achieved without requiring the installation of additional software or plug-ins on the devices.

• Bridgeway eCounsel Version 8.6: Designed specifically for corporate legal departments requiring an easy-to-use matter management solution that can be configured by an administrator and deployed quickly, version 8.6 extends the built-in wizard technology to further automate complex tasks such as the global assignment, reassignment and un-assignment of people to and from matters.  Additional enhancements include simplified invoice approval, more streamlined navigation, and greater flexibility in data visualization and information reporting, as well as enhancements in the administration and operation of the system itself.
  

"An attorney’s productivity is closely tied to their ability to effectively manage information, and rapid access to that information, anytime, anywhere, is critical to their ability to respond quickly to business needs, make informed decisions and provide high value legal services,” said David Samia, Vice President Product Management/Marketing, Bridgeway Software.  "Within eCounsel and Bridgeway E-mail Link products, law department operations and corporate governance professionals can provide greater transparency, increase their productivity, and collaborate anytime, anywhere in order to provide real business value."
