Omtool AccuRoute Platforms For The Legal Industry Receive Five-Star Ratings From Buyers Laboratory Inc.; Product Integration, Scalability, And Support Cited As Most Impressive
Omtool, Ltd. (Nasdaq: OMTL), a leading provider of document routing products and services, is proud to announce that AccuRoute, the company's software solution for the legal industry, has received five-star ratings from Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), a leading independent office equipment testing lab and business consumer advocate.
BLI granted its prestigious five-star ratings to Omtool's AccuRoute 2.1 Legal Platform and AccuRoute 2.1 Law Office Platform in its solutions reports on the products. The five-star ratings were the result of BLI's product review, which also included an examination of Omtool's customer service and support, as well as interviews with Omtool dealers and customers.
Omtool's AccuRoute Legal Platform is a server-based, document routing solution with highly customizable document routing workflows. BLI said that AccuRoute gives users the ability to scan documents quickly and easily from multifunction printing devices (MFPs) or scanners to e-mail addresses, network folders and a wide range of document management systems. In addition, BLI's review noted that AccuRoute is hardware agnostic, in that it works with multifunctional products and scanners from virtually any manufacturer.
"Omtool's AccuRoute platforms for the legal industry are ideal solutions for law firms of any size that utilize enterprise-level document management systems and scan paper documents into their information infrastructures. AccuRoute also works well as a solution for scanning documents to network folders, e-mail and fax destinations," said Ben Curry, BLI's research editor. "We were especially impressed with Omtool's customer and product support. Not only did we reach a support rep each time we called, but the comments we received from customers regarding Omtool's support and customer service were resoundingly positive."
AccuRoute 2.1 Legal Platform and AccuRoute 2.1 Law Office Platform are installed in more than 115 law firms worldwide, providing the legal industry with versatile document routing solutions that can handle the capture, processing and distribution of the volumes of electronic and paper documents that are an inherent part of practicing law today.
"There is no point purchasing a great solution if the staff won't use it," the BLI report quoted Shawn Fain, director of technology at Sprouse Shrader Smith PC, a law firm in Amarillo, Texas, as saying. The firm chose Omtool's AccuRoute 2.1 platform over competitive products. "Attorneys love paper and simple, time-saving technology. As a result, I only looked at solutions that were easy to use and allowed our lawyers to handle electronic documents the same way they handle paper. This meant that the solution had to have a simple desktop interface and require the use of very few buttons on the MFP. Given our requirements, Omtool's AccuRoute platform was the clear choice for us."
"We're proud to have received BLI's highest rating in its review of our AccuRoute 2.1 Law Office Platform and our AccuRoute 2.1 Legal Platform," said Robert L. Voelk, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Omtool. "We understand the legal profession's need to have a solution that improves productivity but does not require a degree in computer technology to operate. Our goal in developing AccuRoute is to deliver comprehensive document routing and handling software that allows customers to leverage the technology they already have in place with a product that fits right in with their normal business processes and workflows."
