Typically, when a legal professional reviews the documents, records, and other content returned in a search, he/she must download the entire file, open it in its native client application, and search it manually. This takes excessive time and consumes excessive bandwidth.

TotalView for Legal includes BA Insight's award-winning Longitude Search, which transforms and streamlines this process by providing an instant preview of all search result content, regardless of file type or source. Each preview is delivered via a fully integrated Silverlight viewer, bringing users directly to the most relevant page within the document. Features include full hit-highlighting, instant OCR processing of image-based files (like PDF and TIFF), and in-context 'search inside' functionality.

When a legal professional finds relevant content, he/she wants to act upon it…whether that means emailing it to a colleague, extracting sections to include in a new presentation or report, or merging it with content to create a new document.

TotalView, powered by Longitude Search, empowers legal professionals to act swiftly upon relevant content directly from SharePoint's Search Center interface, by providing an intuitive virtual workspace where sections of multiple documents can be quickly extracted, organized, and compiled into new, fully formatted documents, presentations, or reports.

TotalView reduces the amount of time legal professionals spend recreating documents from scratch by 50%.

 

Attorneys are a firm's most important asset, so being able to identify the holders of expertise - by searching for an individual, a matter, or any other attribute - is crucial. To find such expertise, one needs to be able to assess everything from client invoices, attorney biographies, and both internally and externally published documents.

SharePoint and FAST both provide the ability to swiftly search for people and expertise, leveraging SharePoint's powerful MySite feature. Additionally, FAST extends this capability by providing phonetic and nickname search, as well as other advanced content processing capabilities.

TotalView enhances these features by enabling parametric search capabilities (i.e. searching by metadata instead of key-word), and by extending the indexing capabilities of SharePoint and FAST to every system in the firm. Moreover, profiles of users can be related to billing history and content published on specific matter types to boost the completeness of one's profile.

Our wizard-based administrative interface provides unmatched control of your metadata, empowering you to enrich content with across numerous sources without any burden to your attorneys or staff.
