Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES) 2004, Chicago - Onset Technology, a leading developer of enterprise access software for wireless handheld devices, today announced that Morgan Miller Blair, a leading San Francisco Bay Area law firm, has chosen METAmessage® to provide mobile access to its Advanced Productivity Solutions' DTE® time-and-billing application and its Interwoven WorkSite™ matter-centric collaboration solution. Onset's METAmessage Legal software also lets mobile attorneys using BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds™ from Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM; TSX:RIM) access important case matters, spell-check outgoing messages, and use CRM applications practically anywhere, anytime. Onset is showing its Legal and other product offerings for BlackBerry® in booth 105 at RIM's Wireless Enterprise Symposium 2004 conference.
Morgan Miller Blair is a large business law firm that provides pragmatic litigation solutions and cutting edge transactional services to a diverse array of clients ranging from Silicon Valley technology start-ups to some of the United States' largest homebuilding companies.
"Our mobile attorneys need the most powerful tools available," said Jerry Stucki, Information Technology Director at Morgan Miller Blair. "Our attorneys are delighted with METAmessage. They can now take care of billing without waiting to get back to the office, and they can get case matters at a client site or at the courthouse. METAmessage is without a doubt an important part of any law firm's BlackBerry deployment."
METAmessage, used by over 150 law firms (40+ in the US AmLaw 100) and over 1000 enterprises, is a complete, out-of-the-box solution for BlackBerry customers. In conjunction with the BlackBerry platform, users can interact directly with a range of enterprise data systems including document management/time-and-billing programs, enterprise applications, and databases. The user simply opens a form on the BlackBerry handheld and either requests information from or adds information to the data source. Users can also print anywhere, including network printers; spell check outgoing messages; get network documents to send, read, or print; and, quickly get driving directions, flight information, Google searches, and more.
"We recommend METAmessage as a best-of-class choice to our law firms deploying BlackBerry," said Anurag Kumar, CEO of Connectione LLC, the Onset solution partner working with Morgan Miller Blair's IT department. "It gives mobile attorneys greatly added productivity that translates into higher client responsiveness. Whenever they are working out of the office, they still have access to PC-level communications with both the office staff and beyond."
