Company description::
Florham Park, NJ – Veritext LLC (http://www.veritextllc.com), the premier national court-reporting service, today announced the addition of VIP21+ to its family of litigation support tools. VIP21+ will provide Veritext clients with an advanced method of accessing, leveraging, and searching the deposition transcripts stored on Veritext’s VIP21 service over various modalities. As a result of integrating Dejima Direct™ from Dejima, Inc. (http://www.dejima.com), a leading provider of application interface technology for enterprise and mobile applications, VIP21 clients can now search VIP21 with natural language queries using their desktop computer or wireless device, going through the Veritext website or using email.
“At Veritext we’re always looking for technologies that improve our user experience,” said Lolly Bak, Vice President & Chief Information Officer of Veritext. “The addition of Dejima Direct to VIP21 empowers our clients with anytime, anywhere access to transcripts in the most intuitive way – via their own words and in as little as one step. Since the recent release of the improved VIP21 product, we’ve seen a 28% increase in usage of VIP21 searches.”
In addition to current tools that allow users to search VIP21 through various criteria available on drop-down lists, Veritext has now enabled the service to accept natural language queries such as “transcripts with the word Penicillin” or “transcripts with defendant Smith.” VIP21 now can also be accessed over interfaces optimized for email and wireless devices that will closely mimic the desktop experience.
Natural language searches of transcripts stored on VIP21 can be conducted using criteria including case name, plaintiff name, defendant name, scheduling attorney, deposing attorney, witness name, field of expertise, city, state and date range. Users simply enter their requests in the search box of the desktop interface, in the request box on a wireless web interface or in the subject line of an email. The updated VIP21 is flexible enough to allow users to type abbreviations or custom phrases, and over time learns patterns of specific user requests. Results are displayed in a format that works best for the modality used to search the database; navigation tools permit users to easily jump to specific sections in documents retrieved by the search; and the transcript’s concordance – an alphabetical listing of the principal words in a document – allows users to jump to the page of the transcript containing the occurrence of a desired word.
“Our attorneys and paralegals are very excited about the enhanced search capabilities and improved access to VIP21,” said Manny Pokotilow, Managing Partner of Philadelphia-based Caesar Rivise, a Veritext VIP21 client. “We actually have clients calling and asking us to show them the service.”
Steven J. Feder, Esq., of Pepper Hamilton LLC in Philadelphia, also a VIP21 client, echoed Pokotilow 's sentiments, and said the ability to search the Veritext VIP21 transcript database via the BlackBerry would yield multiple benefits for his firm. "This will be a great tool for use with my BlackBerry," he said. "It will save a lot of time and readily provide me with transcript information."
“BlackBerry customers in the legal profession readily understand the competitive advantage that can be derived when you combine always-on connectivity with an easy-to-use interface and the right applications. With VIP21+, Dejima Direct, and BlackBerry, attorneys can achieve enhanced workflow, increased productivity, and improved client service,” said Mark Guibert, vice president of corporate marketing for Research In Motion.
Dejima Direct enables Independent Software Vendors, Service Providers and Systems Integrators to offer customers access to corporate data and transactions via their own words over email, wireless messaging, the web or speech interfaces. Previously deployed as a tool for several leading CRM applications, the expansion of Dejima Direct to the legal market is a natural evolution of the technology for a profession that increasingly requires an advanced method of searching large sets of data over various modalities.
“We’re seeing great momentum for Dejima Direct and are excited to use the insights we’ve gained working with CRM applications to benefit the legal market,” said Antoine Blondeau, CEO of Dejima. “Whether in the office, on the road, or in the courtroom during a trial, VIP21 with Dejima Direct ensures that lawyers can access data critical to their efforts supporting their clients when it’s needed most.”
