Morrison Mahoney Saves Time and Money and Increases Client Service with Verdatum Digital Dictation
One of the leading law firms in the Northeast rolls out the Verdatum legal exclusive digital dictation system to multiple offices to provide its attorneys with the most advanced digital dictation workflow software available.
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 3, 2007
Morrison Mahoney, one of the leading litigation firms in the Northeast, has installed Verdatum as its firm-wide digital dictation workflow system. The system has been rolled out to the firm and is available to users exclusively through the firm's Citrix to the desktop environment.
"Dictation for our attorneys is a mission critical application," said Frank Norton, Director of Information Technology at Morrison Mahoney. "In searching for a digital dictation solution it was extremely important for us to find a solution provider that was focused on lawyers exclusively. We knew that only with such a partner would we be assured that all future development efforts would benefit us. We have a very clear vision of how we wish to deliver value to our clients, and with Verdatum we have a partner who will work with us to accomplish our goals. Combining that with the levels of dedication and service that Verdatum has extended to us made Verdatum the perfect choice."
Morrison Mahoney attorneys spend most of their time out of the office trying cases and meeting with clients. With Verdatum they now do not need to return to the office to have their dictation transcribed; Verdatum inserts it into the workflow over any internet connection and notifies the transcriptionists within one minute that there is new work to do. Lawyers have instant access to the status of their dictation, and can even tell what percentage has been completed. Because the system is designed specifically for lawyers and legal transcriptionists, it is easy for lawyers to learn and use; as a result, total cost of ownership is low and the solution delivers a return on investment within months.
"Any attorney familiar with defense litigation in the U. S. is familiar with Morrison Mahoney," said John Methfessel, President and CEO of Verdatum. "Their attorneys enjoy a stellar reputation, and we're proud to be partnering with the firm to help it lead the legal industry in the way it delivers value and service to its clients. Since our founding 5 years ago we have unequivocally stated that unlike our competitors we are solely dedicated to the legal industry, and the unique needs of lawyers and law firms. Our customers see that as a critical component of the solution we provide. Lawyers deserve a system made for them, not doctors and hospitals, and we intend to work with Morrison Mahoney and the rest of our customers to continue to offer the kinds of solutions that make sense for lawyers."
