Las Vegas, NV – August 23, 2010 -- BA-Insight, the global leader in Microsoft based information access technology, joins Microsoft at the International Legal Technical Association’s 2010 Conference in Las Vegas, as a key Microsoft partner for SharePoint Search and FAST Search for SharePoint.

The theme of ILTA 2010 is strategic unity. BA-Insight assists Microsoft in the strategic unification of information for enterprise search in Legal with a suite of SharePoint Connectors for search.

“The ease of use with BA-Insight Search Connectors to integrate into our other systems, SharePoint, Interwoven, and West KM; the quick turnaround to get a solution 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 Information Technology, Morris Nichols LLP.

For increased collaboration and productivity, leading law firms turn to BA-Insight to implement and deploy a world-class enterprise search solution built on Microsoft SharePoint and BA-Insight Longitude to centralize information firm-wide in SharePoint Search.

“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. It’s amazing. The attorneys love it to the point where they’re begging me to add their secretaries,” Goldt continues.
