WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For increased collaboration and productivity, leading law firm Morris, Nichols, Arsht and Tunnell LLP turns to global leader in Microsoft-based information access technology BA-Insight to implement and deploy a unified enterprise search solution built on Microsoft SharePoint and BA-Insight Longitude to centralize information firm wide in SharePoint Search.

"The ease of use with BA-Insight SharePoint Connectors to integrate into our other systems, Interwoven, and West KM; the quick turnaround to get a solution in place; the end result of a preview pane and the speed of search; better yet, the speed of indexing 4.5 million documents. These were all major factors why we chose BA-Insight," explains Wade Goldt, Director of IT, MNAT LLP.

The ability for attorneys to find the most legally relevant case documents and client matter quickly and easily when preparing for a case is critical to a firm's success. Today, MNAT attorneys are enjoying an increase in searchable intranet content and reuse of firm knowledge, as well as more efficient access to data across systems.

"This type of integration is really about the speed. To be able to give our attorneys the speed of searching an entire document management system as well as any documents that are in West KM within less than 2 seconds; get that data and be able to filter based on metadata; they can find what they're looking for in less than 30 seconds total. And that includes previewing and scanning through the information, all because of the preview window in SharePoint document viewer. It's amazing," Goldt continues.
