PALO ALTO, Calif.--August 24, 2009--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of risk management, time capture and integration software for the legal industry, today announced the availability of Wall Builder 4.0.
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, portal, CRM, time entry and records management systems. It also automates notifications to individuals subject to specific policies and tracks acknowledgments for compliance purposes.
"We're up and running with Wall Builder 4.0 and couldn't be happier with the interface, security enforcement, and reporting enhancements IntApp has added to this latest product update," said Venky Srinivasan, Director of Technology, Stikeman Elliott LLP. "IntApp sets itself apart as a company that really listens to client requirements and responds with products that deliver. Their technology is rock solid and the support we've received over the past five years has been exemplary."

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.
