Last week at ILTA, Tikit launched its Template Management System for the first time in North America, introducing v6 of its popular TMS software. Thirty-eight of the UK's top 100 firms already use TMS and v6 will be launched in the UK from September. Legal IT Today visited the Tikit booth for a quick demonstration.

The key advantage of TMS v6 over other template management systems - including previous versions of TMS - is that it requires no development skills. An intuitive content editor task pane enables the end user to create and edit templates and implement them across multiple offices - a task which generally involves dedicated developers.  Driving the skillset down so that marketing and administrative staff with a technical understanding, but without specialist development or programming knowledge, can design and immediately implement new templates reduces implementation time by as much as 75% and significantly decreases the cost and complexity of branding and rebranding exercises.

This is particularly useful for firms creating a new brand following a merger - or firms that are looking to create new templates that reinforce brand consistency across all communications as part of a desktop refresh when upgrading to Office 2010 and 2013.

TMS v6 offers improved functionality, enabling firms to

• Create, maintain and control MS Office templates without coding
• Design and maintain Office templates using a simple, intuitive tool
• Create and implement templates across all jurisdictions and languages
• Ensure consistency across all documents using the intuitive content editor task pane
• Customise the Office ribbon using Ribbon designer's simple drag and drop

TMS v6 is designed for Office 2010 and 2013 and uses Windows Workflow.

Tikit is currently looking for additional forward-thinking US firms to be its first TMS users in North America.
