PensEra enables law firms to extend confidentiality controls to its TimeKM time tracking environment through support of external access control management provided by IntApp Wall Builder
PALO ALTO, Calif.--April 22, 2009--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of time capture, risk management and integration software for the legal industry, today announced that PensEra, a leader in time entry software, has certified TimeKM time entry software 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 TimeKM's suite of products, 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.
"As our global clients look to expand their confidentiality and compliance capabilities, we wanted to make sure that they can meet their objectives by effectively controlling attorney access to peer time entry records," said Peter Zver, CEO of PensEra Knowledge Technologies. "IntApp is the clear industry standard for law firm confidentiality and risk management, so it was a natural choice for us to work with them to certify our technology for Wall Builder."
"PensEra provides a suite of innovative time entry applications that have generated significant industry attention, recognition and adoption," said Thad Jampol, CTO, IntApp. "We're pleased to certify TimeKM for use with Wall Builder and to continue working with PensEra to meet the demanding security and compliance needs of global law firms."
IntApp provides software that enables law firms to increase revenue, ensure client confidentiality and maximize attorney productivity. With over 150 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.
