Greenberg Traurig, an international law firm with 1,350 attorneys and governmental professionals in 29 locations has enjoyed the reputation over the past several years as being a technology leader. The firm has also been one of the country's fastest growing law firms - expanding over the past eight years from six offices and 180 attorneys to its present size.

During this period it became a tremendous challenge for the technology to keep pace with the firm's growth. However, it was soon realized that the firm's growth was only exceeded by its technology capabilities.

Kenneth Schultz, the firm's IS Director started with Greenberg Traurig in 1995 and assembled a Information Technology staff that many feel is unprecedented in law firms. Greenberg's talent consists of Software Engineers that manage all their systems rather than systems people that attempt to engineer software. This has proven to be a critical distinction as Greenberg has moved forward. Unlike many, Greenberg conducts all systems design, all engineering, all implementation and all software development using only in-house resources.

In 1998, Greenberg contracted with CMS Data to purchase their CMS Open system. A primary reason in this decision was because CMS's "open" methodology matched the firm's software development philosophies very well. Greenberg Traurig's first introduction to development with CMS Open began with report writing. In fact, the programming team not only developed the reports that were needed, but also developed tools to generate future reports. This early work led to much other development including,

• An enhanced tool for rapid development of reports.
• Custom Docketing system based upon the CMS docket module that includes bi-directional replication with Outlook Collections forecasting system.
• Customized File Opening system based upon CMS's File Opening.
• A web-based tool to monitor the status of the CMS system.
• A Web-based inquiry system named Lawdrill.

It was the development of the Lawdrill system that "raised eyebrows" amongst other Law Firms - making them aware of the quality work that was going on at Greenberg Traurig. Lawdrill is the first "inquiry" system designed to "drill" into the CMS Open system that is entirely based on Internet browsing technologies. Not only is the system familiar and easy-to-use, but also it has the precise information that Attorneys need on a daily basis. After all, it was designed completely by Attorneys and programmed by in-house talent. The software is unique in several ways, but most important of all, it was designed to satisfy the needs of a large dynamic firm - by the firm itself. It is not a system designed by an "outsider" that does not deal with these issues every day.

After demonstrating Lawdrill to a number of firms, Greenberg Traurig was receiving a number of requests from other law firms to resell the software for their use.

Taladro Systems, Inc. was created for the purpose of selling the software developed at the Firm to others that were seeking the same high-quality solutions that were already being realized by Greenberg Traurig.

There are now fourteen other firms and over 12,000 people utilizing LawDRILL to provide information to their Attorneys. These firms have all recognized the value of providing information in their firm in a rapid easy-to-understand method. LawDRILL has taken the mystery out of the CMS system and allows timekeepers to monitor their data in ways they could not before. Collections have risen as the result of making this information more timely to the people that need it.
