TextMap® 3 has been released! You can download the important new release of our transcript summary tool today. This new, completely free-standing application can be used to annotate and summarize transcripts even if you don’t have CaseMap®.

Expert Attorney Webinars on early case assessment and analysis are now available online.

Our CaseMap Academy offers a multitude of training options for your staff or your firm. Perhaps you or your staff has attended training, but there maybe others in your firm that could benefit from one of our convenient options. We have onsite trainings or open enrollment classes at convenient locations in selected cities, you’re invited to visit us in sunny Florida or we present live, online training options.

Please contact us at 866.848.1137 to discuss any of these options or email info@casesoft.com.

Case Analysis Jump-start and Early Case Assessment Consultation—Let one of our advanced CaseMap Academy trainers visit you to assist in early case analysis and assessment. In this daylong exercise, our trainer acts as moderator guiding the session, as a scribe quickly organizing material in CaseMap, and as an educator showing your team how to take the ball forward utilizing Litigation Services. By the time the session ends, we’ll have worked with your trial team to create a detailed cast of characters, a multi-level issue outline and an initial fact chronology. The trial team will also have created a Case Summary ReportBook or other work product for their client. And they’ll have a plan in place for additional analysis.

Live Internet Advanced Training—We’re offering “Deep Dive” Live Training Webinars for users who want to get the most out of their CaseMap tools. Sessions will be 75 – 90 minutes. Class sizes will be limited to 15 and topics will be offered twice a month. We’re charging a $99 per registrant fee for these events given the nature of the content and the very limited seats.

CaseMap/Acrobat/Bates Stamping Integration
2:00 p.m. EST on December 27, January 10 or January 24.
To get questions answered or register for a seat, please contact Sam Scaggs at sam.scaggs@lexisnexis.com or 904-273-5000 x230.

This session will review tips and tricks for getting the most out of the Send to CaseMap Plug-in for Acrobat and will discuss best practices in file organization. It will also review how the CaseMap PDF Bates Stamper can be used to not only Bates Stamp batches of PDFs but to also jumpstart creating a document index in CaseMap. This session should be a great way to get you and your paralegal staff up to speed with these productivity boosters!

Training at Your Offices—One of our trainers can visit your offices to provide in-person training for groups of end-users. In a day of training, we can conduct a mixture of both basic and advanced sessions.

CaseSoft Academy Open Enrollment Sessions—We hold fee-based open enrollment classes in many cities around the country. There’s a certification class for Litigation Support and IS professionals and a separate class for end users. We offer $50 off training that is booked 10 days in advance. Our agenda for January is:

Please contact us at 866.848.1137 to discuss any of these options or email info@casesoft.com.

We have released a new “Send to CaseMap” Utility that works with the popular WORLDOX Document Management System (DMS). This is a fee-based utility as it’s the result of a very lengthy development effort and will require ongoing development and support work.

The “Send to CaseMap” Plug-in for WORLDOX makes it easy to create new document records in CaseMap based on documents being stored in WORLDOX. In addition to automatically creating new document records in CaseMap based on documents stored in WORLDOX, the Plug-in also links the records created in CaseMap to the source documents stored in WORLDOX. You can later display a linked document stored in WORLDOX with one click in CaseMap. This new utility makes it easy to leverage the value of both CaseMap and WORLDOX for organizing key case documents. This new utility will work with WORLDOX GX or higher.

CASEMAP 6 FOR ACROBAT 8 NOW AVAILABLE

We’re pleased to announce the release of a version of our CaseMap case analysis tool that works with new Acrobat 8.

If you haven’t seen the numerous tight integrations between CaseMap and Acrobat at work, please write us at info@casesoft.com and we’ll be glad to give you a quick tour over the Internet.

If you already use CaseMap 6 and Acrobat together, you can now upgrade to Acrobat 8 and then download and install the updated version of CaseMap 6 that works with Acrobat 8. To be sure we're being clear ... you need to install Acrobat 8 first ... before you move to the new version of CaseMap 6. You can download the new version of CaseMap 6 from www.casesoft.com.

The new version of CaseMap doesn’t provide additional Acrobat-integration functionality, but rather solves problems caused by changes Adobe® made between Acrobat 7 and 8.
