I’ve been to New York City more than a dozen times in the last seven years, and it never gets old, even in February. ISYS, as a company, has been traveling to NYC for the LegalTech event since 1994, which means it has been 16 years since we first started connecting more deeply with law firms and other software vendors looking to round out their technology with embedded search. If you’ll be in town for the event, please stop by Booth #329 and say hello to the team.
What makes LegalTech pretty unique is the commaraderie of the event. Maybe it’s because our focus is on connecting with our fellow exhibitors, but we always leave the event smarter than when we arrived. We’ve never approached it as a hard sales exercise; we’re there to learn as much as the next guy and gal, so from that standpoint it’s refreshing. For those of you who have direct legal responsibilities, or for those who are on the periphery dealing with corporate compliance and risk issues, I’d love to hear what you’re looking to get out of LegalTech this time around. From our point of view, we’re still quite focused on embedded search for traditional ISVs/OEMs as well as SaaS providers, but we’re also increasingly engaging in conversations regarding early case assessment with commercial organizations.
For an event of this size to still be highly relevant, it’s clear these issues remain quite acute. As always, I’m looking forward to it, so we hope to see you next week. As a reminder, the event is at the Hilton New York, from Feb. 1-3. I believe the folks at American Lawyer Media are offering a complimentary exhibit hall pass if you want to drop in for an afternoon.

Our partner EMC recently announced its new data archiving platform, SourceOne. EMC says the new architecture is designed to meet today’s pressing e-discovery and compliance needs. ISYS is pleased to play a key role in this new solution, providing an OEM search solution that serves as the backbone indexing and query engine for archived data. You can read some recent coverage of EMC SourceOne, as well as learn more about the OEM search solution that powers SourceOne’s archive indexing.
