Contributing factors to Microsystems success include the expansion of products, addition and retention of customers, strategic acquisitions and partnerships, increase of employees and legal industry recognition.

These key developments position Microsystems to further extend competitive advantages throughout law firms, legal departments and other document intensive organizations.

Expansion of Products

  • Microsystems released EagleEye—THE Agreement Checker to enhance the legal agreement drafting and review process and reduce the risks associated with inaccurate or ambiguous content. EagleEye, which provides lawyers and legal support teams with a more thorough and efficient process for reviewing and validating documents, is already being used by many of the world’s leading law firms.
  • A new version of 3BClean was introduced in early 2012 and version 4.0, which includes a new, simplified administrative UI, more configuration options, improved monitoring and reporting options as well as the ability to update attachments on sent items, is expected later this quarter.
  • DocXtools version 7.1 was recently released to address the evolving needs of the legal industry. DocXtools 7.1 opens up Word's Backstage View to enhance configuration options and improves a lawyer's ability to assess the health of a document and apply corrective clean up, styles and formatting.

Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships
