NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSSplatform company, today announced that NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES)has been implemented at Dykema, one of the Midwest's largest law firms.The product has helped attorneys and other firm employees find relevantinformation in an efficient manner.
With NewsGator Enterprise Server, Dykema employees automatically receiveupdates to key internal applications directly into Outlook instead ofhaving to check multiple systems and data sources every day. For example,the firm's marketing team receives instant notification when attorneys andstaff update its "Proposal Tracking System." Similarly, Dykema attorneysare starting to receive real-time case updates from internal "mattertracking systems."
"We were looking for a solution that would help us gather and deliverexternal web-based content pertaining to the legal sector, our client-baseand our competition, as well as improve the distribution and disseminationof internal information," said Bill Gratsch, Dykema's web technologiesmanager. "NGES enables this and more, and since the product resides behindthe firewall, our internal aggregation and distribution of confidentialinformation remains secure."
"One of the biggest benefits of Enterprise RSS is the ability for people toget notified when updates are made instead of having to go out and checkWeb sites," said A.V. 'Sandy' Hamilton, NewsGator's executive vicepresident of sales, marketing and business development. "Dykema is usinginternal and external feeds to keep their attorneys, marketers and clientsbetter informed. This demonstrates a compelling value proposition forservices firms to harness the power of RSS through NewsGator EnterpriseServer."
Why NewsGator
After evaluating several off the shelf RSS aggregators that reside inMicrosoft Outlook, Dykema realized there was a major barrier to deployingthis type of solution enterprise-wide: each installation would require anindividual desktop "touch." With 10 offices and almost 800 usersnationwide, products that required a manual install and/or localadministration by an IS staffer were not feasible. However, NGES eliminatedthis barrier as it is centrally managed, with administration across theenterprise handled from one location.
