Stephenson Harwood implements Recommind’s Decisiv Search

LONDON, MAY 16, 2012 – Recommind, the leader in predictive information management & analysis software, today announced that international law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP, has chosen Recommind’s Decisiv Search as its unified search solution to access documents, matters, expertise across the firm and other media.

Based on Recommind’s CORE™ (Context Optimized Relevancy Engine) platform, the new solution will become the central focus of Stephenson Harwood’s legal know-how environment.

Recommind’s Decisiv Search will provide access to the firm’s distributed information through a single enterprise search platform that is based on powerful and unique concept-based search technology. Stephenson Harwood will also use Recommind’s Matters & Expertise module of Decisiv Search, allowing all partners and staff worldwide to not only quickly and seamlessly search for content, but also to locate colleagues with relevant experience and knowledge of particular subjects within the firm.

“We chose Recommind after a thorough review of the market. Decisiv Search is intuitive and easy to use, and we particularly liked the document preview functionality. We are also impressed with the Recommind team, and the fact that they will be giving us ongoing support gives us confidence about its success. Decisiv Search will help us tie together all these various information sources and provide a more aggregated and efficient work environment that will enable us all to quickly find exactly what we are looking for from one, simple search interface” comments Myra Raggett, Director of Legal Information Services at Stephenson Harwood.

“An effective enterprise search and knowledge management system is absolutely critical to law firms. We are looking forward to working with Stephenson Harwood to create a single search interface that will enable their lawyers to quickly find the information, matters and expertise they need,” said Simon Price, Managing Director at Recommind.
