WONGPARTNERSHIP adopts Workshare® 3 as a critical part of its document management strategy
Workshare helps leading Singaporean law firms streamline its document process and improve document integrity
Singapore, 26th October 2004 – Workshare, the leading provider of document integrity applications, today announces that WONGPARTNERSHIP, one of the largest law firms in Singapore, will deploy Workshare 3 across its organisation providing every staff member with the ability to work faster and safer on sensitive legal documents, and providing better client service.
Workshare 3 will be available on the desktop of every employee, enabling collaboration on complex legal documents to be achieved faster, more efficiently and most importantly, securely. Every staff member will now be able to work safe in the knowledge that unintentional disclosure of confidential information will be a thing of the past due to Workshare 3’s robust metadata stripping functionality. In addition they will have the ability to create PDF documents with one-click from within Microsoft Word and incorporate multiple amendments from others.
The Workshare 3 implementation forms a critical part of a complete document management overhaul that includes the implementation of Interwoven’s WorkSite 8.0 document management platform. Workshare’s reputation and close working relationship with Interwoven was a key factor for WONGPARTNERSHIP’s IT Manager Kevin Koh, who will be rolling out the solution.
Koh commented, “Workshare 3 is a crucial part of our overall IT strategy. We have some very strict business drivers for this project and the integration between Workshare and Interwoven was essential to its success. Workshare’s ability to provide a complete solution for document collaboration and comparison, PDF creation and handling metadata made it the only choice.”
Andrew Pearson, General Manager, APAC at Workshare commented, “All law firms live and die by the quality of their documents. The accuracy and integrity of its documents and the efficiency with which this process is handled is essential to the reputation of any law firm. As one of the leading Law firms in Singapore, WONGPARTNERSHIP must ensure that its reputation and client confidentiality is never compromised and has recognised the competitive advantages that can be gained by improving its document processes. We are delighted that Workshare will help to address these key issues.”
Workshare 3 saves time and reduces frustration for busy professionals who work with clients and co-workers via e-mail on critical business documents. Thanks to Workshare 3 seamlessly integrating with Interwoven’s Worksite, it enables WONGPARTNERSHIP to create an audit trail of changes on all of its important documents, a critical need when ensuring organisation-wide compliance.
Efficient Office, a Workshare and Interwoven partner in Singapore has been selected to implement the combined system with the IT department at WONGPARTNERSHIP. Von Chan, Managing Director at Efficient Office said, “The combination of Workshare 3 and Interwoven’s Worksite 8 provides a powerful yet easy to use desktop for the legal professional. We hope WONGPARTNERSHIP will look back over time and reaffirm that this is an important investment that has helped in the firm’s objective of continuing to provide top notch services to their clients.”
