Travers Smith Selects BA Insight for Enterprise Search
UK News

BA Insight logoBA Insight, the leader in agile information integration and enterprise search, announced today that UK-based law firm Travers Smith has selected BA Insight for enterprise search. The firm will layer BA Insight's TotalView for Legal on top of Microsoft SharePoint, FAST, and multiple knowledge management systems including its Hummingbird Document Management System to enable its lawyers to quickly and easily to find and retrieve content from their entire corpus of information: including their practice management system, document management system, intranet, and both internal and external knowledge bases. 

"In recent years, the size of our document libraries had exploded, particularly with the storage of e-mails, and our old knowledge management system was no longer sophisticated enough to cope with the multiple silos of documents and information we had developed," said Rachel Woodburn, Head of Professional Support at Travers Smith. "It is imperative that we arm our lawyers with the right tools to enable them to continue to deliver first-class service to our clients. TotalView for Legal will mean that we can spend less time searching for documents and information, and more time focusing on the needs of our clients."

"We're delighted to enable Travers Smith users to discover information from matter-related e-mails and documents – and to give them a concise way of managing their knowledge resources," said Samia Rauf, Vice President, EMEA for BA Insight. "Lawyers spend so much time on research, and TotalView for Legal cuts down that time significantly, freeing up hours for productive, billable client work. We're so pleased to be working with Travers Smith, which has such a strong reputation for quality and excellence."

Travers Smith, a 150-year-old firm based in London, employs 275 lawyers. The Travers Smith team recently decided to make SharePoint and FAST its central platform for content sharing. In light of that, the firm performed an extensive review of enterprise search vendors, and even explored the possibility of developing its own search-based application, before narrowing the field down to BA Insight, Recommind, and Autonomy, and ultimately deciding on BA Insight. "In the end, we felt that BA Insight had far and away the best Microsoft SharePoint and FAST integration," said Ann Cant, IT Director at Travers Smith. "TotalView for Legal is also the most flexible and agile solution on the market, which means we can do a lot with it as our needs progress."
