ECM Briefs

At Open Text, we’re big believers in the idea that if people have a place to share ideas about technology, they will gain more value from technology. With this need in mind, we’ve introduced our Open Text Online (OTO) customer communities to give our customers forums where they can share ideas about new ways to leverage our software. We’re especially excited about the launch of a new online community for law firm customers: OTO go/legal (Registration is required.)

In a recent ECM Briefs interview, I discussed the many unique and difficult challenges law firms have in managing information. Customers using our LegalKEY solutions now have a central place online to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and find detailed, useful information they can take back to their firms. Called the Legal Business Solutions Special Interest Place (SIP), the OTO go/legal community offers legal customers information on Webinars, conferences and shows; details on products and strategy; and how they can continuously maximize the value of their LegalKEY investment. Visitors will also find links to various online forums including a special forum dedicated to topics of interest specific to the legal industry where customers can exchange ideas, pose questions, and provide feedback on how to improve the community.

We look forward to seeing our legal customers become active, participating members of this SIP.

LegalKEY Convergence V Conference
The annual LegalKEY user conference, Convergence V, was held in Sonoma, California, on May 6-9 at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa. This year’s conference included two days of informative technical- and business-focused sessions. Speakers included Open Text staff, LegalKEY partners and customers. The conference provided LegalKEY customers with the chance to view current and future Open Text Legal Solutions offerings, giving them the opportunity to comment on functionality, usability, and future direction.
