ILTA tech survey, Technolawyer affirm Workshare's focus on world class software & service

Workshare, a leading provider of document collaboration software, is the overwhelming top choice for its software solutions at law firms with more than fifty attorneys, according to the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) 2011 Technology Survey. The survey results attest to Workshare's 2011 focus on dependable software and world class support services.

The annual survey represented input from over 100,000 attorneys and more than a quarter million users. According to the report, for firms with 50 to 149 attorneys, Workshare's solution is the number one choice for 53% of respondents, for firms with 150-349 attorneys Workshare is selected by 70%, and for firms with 350-699 attorneys, the software is used by 75%. For firms with more than 700 attorneys, 85% reported selecting Workshare as their solution.

In another testament to the legal community's strong acceptance of Workshare products, the new TechnoLawyer list of the top 15 products of the year places Workshare PDF Professional and Workshare Point in the second and fifth places on the list, respectively - the only company to have two products in the top five. In the summary of Workshare PDF Professional, author Neil Squillante called Workshare the "Adobe Systems of the legal industry. Speaking of which, Workshare PDF Professional takes aim at Adobe's Acrobat with a low price of $79." For Workshare Point, number 5 on the Top 15 list, Squillante writes that until they covered the new solution "which transforms SharePoint into a legal-specific document management system," TechnoLawyer did not realize the degree of interest in the Microsoft product.

Among Workshare customers, 332 law firms chose Workshare solutions in 2011, and more than 18K organizations use Workshare solutions worldwide. One of the most significant milestones has been the return of former customers to Workshare since the version 7 release. Workshare Professional 7, Workshare Compare 7, and Workshare Protect 7 incorporated hundreds of customer suggestions to increase performance while making it easier to deploy across the organization.

"Over the last twelve months Workshare's focus on end-user education with the launch of Workshare University, new web-based training videos, deployment scripts, and annual user group meetings, have all contributed to customer success." said Scott Smull, CEO of Workshare. "Product features are important; but the ILTA survey results and Technolawyer mention reflect the excellent support we provide to our customers."
