IntApp Wall Builder 5.0 Redefines State-of-the-Art in Confidentiality Management for Law Firm Ethical Screens and Information Barriers

August 2010

PALO ALTO, Calif.--August 23, 2010--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of confidentiality management software for law firms, today announced Wall Builder 5.0, the latest generation of the industry’s most-adopted software for ethical walls and information barriers.

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.

Law firms must closely manage and track internal access to client information for many reasons. These include waiver-driven ethical walls, client outside counsel guidelines, and compliance with regulations such as the HITECH Act, ITAR and several data privacy laws.

Wall Builder 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 lawyer behavior to ensure that policies are kept up to date automatically.

Wall Builder is built using industry-standard, 100% Microsoft technologies and includes an open, documented web services API that enables IT organizations to easily access and interface with application data and to integrate the product into existing business processes including new matter intake, firm policy management and conflicts workflows.

Wall Builder 5.0 provides significant product enhancements and new functionality including:

  • New delegated administration, self-service and professional responsibility reporting tools that allow lawyers to directly manage confidential matter team composition and track access policies and user activity
  • Expansion of existing integrations with Autonomy iManage content management applications including Autonomy iManage WorkSite content management, iManage Universal Search, records management and ConflictsManager products
  • New security enforcement extensions, including support for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 matter sites and SharePoint DMS
  • Significant user interface enhancements to streamline confidentiality memoranda creation and confidential matter lifecycle management, tracking and reporting
  • Greater control of firm information through an open, documented web services API that enables organizations to directly interface with application data and functionality
  • Support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 enterprise service bus for client, matter, user, group and security data integration

"With Wall Builder 5.0, IntApp once again raises the bar for law firm confidentiality management," said Thad Jampol, Chief Technology Officer, IntApp. "And our accelerating market momentum reflects this, as the overwhelming majority of law firms investing in confidentiality management continue to choose Wall Builder, a product with a proven track record of performance, innovation and ease of implementation."

Scheduled for general availability in the fourth quarter of 2010, Wall Builder 5.0 will be available to existing IntApp Wall Builder clients with valid maintenance agreements for no additional license fee.
