Momentum in Legal - Workshare Grows Customer Base, Retains and Wins Returning Customers and Expands Solutions

2,000 new customers in the last year
600 new customers in the past three months
Renewal rate of 93% among enterprise law firms
Former customers return to Workshare
Cloud based comparison solution launched
New PDF tool and SharePoint 2010 legal front end
Roadmap for Workshare Professional 7

London, November 19, 2010 - Legal, Corporate Legal and other professionals working within enterprises are fueling the growing popularity of Workshare's solutions for the safe and accurate exchange of high value documents. Workshare are poised for an even more exciting 2011 with enormous demand for their release of an advanced PDF solution and huge interest and engagement in our Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Outlook legal front end.

"Workshare continues to focus on understanding the needs of our customers, providing them with the tools they need as work gets more distributed and complex," said Scott Smull, CEO of Workshare. "We have been aggressive in our product development and are launching a number of new and enhanced products which we expect to be well extremely received by our customers."

One of the most significant milestones has been the return of former customers to Workshare, most recently German Law firm of the year Gleiss Lutz.

"Understandably customers tried to control costs by trying alternative solutions or the native functionality within Microsoft Office," said Frank Boening, EMEA Vice President for Workshare. "What they have found are these solutions are not intuitive and do not increase productivity, and even worse, users find they can't get the support they need when things go wrong."

With thousands of new customers, a strong customer renewal rate, win backs and several strong product releases this year, customers are enjoying the productivity savings and risk reduction of Workshare's software.
