APS' distributed time entry software extends confidentiality controls for law firms through support for external access control management provided by IntApp Wall Builder
PALO ALTO, Calif.--February 3, 2009--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of time capture, risk management and integration software for the legal industry, today announced that Advanced Productivity Software (APS), a leader in distributed time entry software, has certified DTE Axiom for use with IntApp Wall Builder.
Wall Builder is a web-based confidentiality management application that enables organizations to centrally control, monitor and report on user access permissions across multiple applications including document management, accounting, CRM, time entry and records management systems.
Law firms must closely manage and track internal access to client information for many reasons. These include waiver-driven ethical screens, client outside counsel guidelines, and compliance with regulations such as SEC, SOX, HIPAA, ITAR and European Union Market Abuse and Privacy Directives.
Wall Builder from IntApp replaces distributed, ad hoc approaches to information security with a centralized system that provides organizations with unprecedented capability and control over user access to specific applications, documents and other information. It's the only product for law firms that delivers real-time enforcement while updating access rights in response to attorney behavior to ensure that policies are kept up to date automatically.
By using Wall Builder in conjunction with DTE Axiom, law firms can better manage attorney time entry activity and access limitations. In response to ethical screens or clients with confidentiality concerns, firms can establish restrictions that prevent attorneys from accidentally viewing matter-specific billing records of their peers. They can also restrict attorneys from billing time to matters they are not authorized to work on.
"APS and IntApp have a long history of partnership. Working together, we continue to provide superior results for our shared clients," said Jim Tharpe, President of APS. "IntApp Wall Builder is the industry standard for law firm confidentiality management. By using DTE Axiom in conjunction with Wall Builder, firms can provide their attorneys with a time entry product specifically designed to meet the needs of a modern, global law firm, while improving internal security controls and reducing the firm's risk profile."
"APS has a significant client community, providing software to hundreds of thousands of users worldwide, including half of the AmLaw 100," said Thad Jampol, CTO, IntApp. "DTE Axiom promises to significantly improve how law firms track and enter time. We're pleased to certify DTE Axiom for use with Wall Builder and to continue working with APS to meet the demanding security and compliance needs of global law firms."

With over 120 customers, including 40% of the 200 largest US firms as ranked by The American Lawyer, and a vibrant partner community, IntApp has been embraced and endorsed as an industry standard.
