The firm, with a well established reputation of partnering with clients, will use the system to help it continue to deliver services at the highest levels possible, as attorneys of the firm will enjoy the ease of use delivered by the worlds only digital dictation system made exclusively for lawyers.
“Herrick Feinstein attorneys are well known for providing solution based advice to their clients,” said Evette Pastoriza, Information Systems Manager, “so when the firm seeks to provide tools for the attorneys, we look for full solutions which are tailored to lawyers and their specific needs. By installing Verdatum we have given our attorneys a system that is easy to use, yet completely secure. Our attorneys are assured that they will never lose dictation, and that every step of the dictation process will be tracked and accounted for. We also know that every feature developed by Verdatum for future versions will be designed specifically for lawyers.”
Trips to the office to have dictation transcribed are no longer necessary for Herrick attorneys, as Verdatum delivers the ability to upload dictation from any internet connection into the Verdatum system and provide notification to their assistant within one minute. If an assistant is out and work needs to be shifted, coverage is available from all of the firm’s offices, as dictation can be shifted between offices with just one click. The system also integrates directly with Interwoven Worksite, so both attorneys and assistants will save time and become more productive. As a result of these features, ROI is measured in a few short months.”
“To be selected as the dictation workflow solution by a firm with as rich a tradition and stature as Herrick Feinstein makes us very proud,” said John Methfessel, President and CEO of Verdatum. “Digital dictation workflow technology has moved to the forefront of those firms which lead the industry, and the confidence we have received from recent customer wins such as Herrick confirms that these firms are searching for solution which is tailor made for lawyers, not adapted from a system sold to doctors and hospitals. As we continue in the near term to expand our customer base we will continue to reinvest in the Verdatum platform so that lawyers are assured that there exists a system which truly addresses their unique needs in a specific way.”
