Converting Raw Data Into Meaningful Business Intelligence

By Warren Knowles
July 28, 2005

Zelle, Hofmann, Voelbel, Mason & Gette LLP is a national litigation law firm with extensive experience in complex, high-stakes cases. The firm represents plaintiffs and defendants in antitrust, business, class action, securities, insurance coverage and intellectual property litigation, among numerous other areas.

At any given time, these cases may require the combined talent and data from the firm's six offices. Since most cases require extensive sharing of documents among co-counsel and clients, a primary technical challenge for us was to provide secure extranet and collaboration workspaces. These requirements, along with our previous experience with our existing Hummingbird-powered document-management system, were the primary drivers for selecting Hummingbird Enterprise as our document management, collaboration and portal software.

During our installation of the Hummingbird Enterprise suite, we discovered Hummingbird BI, the suite's business intelligence component. We originally purchased BI in hopes of providing clients with simple financial snapshots of case related expenses and fees via the extranet. However, we quickly realized our expectations were inadequate and found that BI was the unexpected gem of Hummingbird Enterprise.
