What’s New in LexisNexis^® CaseMap^® 9?

CaseMap 9 provides secure remote access to case files using a Microsoft® SQL Server®. Use of CaseMap 9 SQL gives users the ability to share cases across offices, making for easier collaboration.  SQL cases provide additional security and flexibility so that different users can use different sets of features they need to work on the cases.

CaseMap 9 also works just like earlier versions of CaseMap with cases saved on a familiar office network. And CaseMap 9 has been tuned to work better in the Windows 7 environment and runs on 64 bit Windows® Vista and Windows® 7.

CaseMap users who are familiar with using CaseMap's earlier versions will not have to learn any new features--the only thing that has changed is the flexibility of creating some cases that may be unusually large or long-lived for the CaseMap SQL server environment.
 

Feature set identical to CaseMap 8

Existing CaseMap users will recognize a set of familiar features identical to those in CaseMap 8 and 8.5. The appearance of CaseMap 9 is the same as CaseMap 8.

Same Price

At present, there is no additional cost for CaseMap 9 SQL components required to enable a SQL server to host CaseMap cases. If your organization has CaseMap subscriptions that are current then you'll have the option to use CaseMap 9 SQL if you wish.

Hosting case files on an SQL server

The CaseMap case files pre-CaseMap 9 store case information in a database built on the same "chassis" as Microsoft® Access.

CaseMap 9 introduces case files that can be created and stored on SQL server, making it easier, more robust and scalable to sort out case data and relationships. Don't worry if your organization does not have a SQL server. There's no need to buy one and set it up because CaseMap v9.0 still creates case files that can be stored locally on a regular network server.

Two types of case files

SQL Cases: created by an administrator using a special CaseMap Admin Console. Designated case staff are assigned to cases by the administrator.

Local Cases: can be created by anyone running CaseMap 9 and saved to a designated network folder. Case staff can be edited by anyone who's authorized to do so. The local cases are exactly the same as the pre-CaseMap 9 cases have been.
 

Centralized Case and User Administration

The organizations that use CaseMap 9 SQL will be able to centrally control the creation of new SQL cases and assign users to the cases. IT and Litigation Support professionals have asked us for greater security for CaseMap case files and CaseMap 9 delivers. The administrator will be able to assign specific permissions for case staff. For example, some users may be able to enter data but not able to create or delete custom fields.

Better Performance

It's common in larger firms for case files to be shared over a wide area network (WAN). Complex cases may grow over time to be large files. CaseMap 9 SQL cases will provide faster performance over a WAN and easily handle large amounts of case data, even if members of the team are working on the same case file from New York and Los Angeles at the same time.
