(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 05, 2008 ) FRISCO, TX and NEW YORK, NY – (LegalTech NY, Booth #333) – February 5, 2008 – Skywire Software, a leading global provider of software and services for the legal industry, today announced that three more law firms have chosen BPI for Legal to automate key business processes. Minneapolis-based firms Winthrop & Weinstine and Lindquist & Vennom, along with California-based Loeb & Loeb, are among the latest firms to select Skywire Software’s easy-to-use workflow and integration offering.

Winthrop & Weinstine plans to use BPI for Legal to automate new business intake. This will route approvals to appropriate parties automatically, speed entry of new business data into the firm’s time and billing system and accelerate billing cycles. The firm sees future opportunities to automate other processes with BPI for Legal, including new hire intake and check requests.

“We want the capability in house to create future workflows and manage or improve existing ones,” said Bob Olek, chief financial officer at Winthrop & Weinstine. “We believe BPI for Legal provides the best opportunity for us to perform that work internally. Competing products are more complex and require more of a specialized technical team to manage. Skywire Software’s product is a better fit for our firm, allowing us to manage workflow processes better in the future.”

BPI for Legal allows firms to connect their existing systems together via an easy-to-use graphical interface, empowering users to develop new applications in just a few weeks with no programming. This lets firms automate processes that once required manual intervention, helping them extend their investments in current technologies. Law firms use BPI for Legal to automate complex processes such as new matter intake, new hire intake, check requests, accounting processes and more.

Since Skywire Software acquired Whitehill Technologies in September 2007, BPI for Legal has continued to gain momentum in the marketplace. Skywire Software is now a leading provider of software and services to the legal and professional services industries, with proven document and integration products used by more than two-thirds of the top 250 law firms worldwide. The company provides software and services for workflow and data integration, new business intake, billing, electronic pre-billing, reporting and distribution. Firms also leverage the deep domain knowledge and expertise of Skywire Software’s professional services team.

“The merger of Skywire Software and Whitehill Technologies has brought together the strengths of both companies,” said Wendy Gibson, chief marketing officer at Skywire Software. “Our professional services teams have performed implementations for hundreds of law firms globally, and our consultants know the industry inside and out. It is this combination of innovative software, industry experience, and commitment to customer satisfaction that has won Skywire Software a dominant position in the marketplace. We look forward to continuing to grow in the legal market, and to further strengthening our relationship with our law firm customers.”
