eSentio’s SharePoint QuickStart program is used by IT departments at large law firms to implement legal-specific full-service intranets for their attorneys and staff. It leverages Microsoft SharePoint technologies and adds customizations to fit the needs of each client.
Many IT departments are focusing on creating intranets that meet their firms’ strategic needs. These needs include access to client and matter information, financial information, firm contacts and many other file and facts from various service areas and departments around the firm. Increasingly, firm leadership is turning to SharePoint 2007 as their intranet platform.
The eSentio SharePoint Quickstart program is a way for a law firm to quickly implement a legal intranet with pre-built powerful legal-specific functionality. Essentially, the QuickStart SharePoint intranet provides site structure, navigation and legal page templates to simplify the creation and maintenance of your intranet. In addition, certain custom functionality like a firm directory and dynamic client and matter pages can be used throughout. On top of the intranet portal, eSentio can also help you create a strategy for hosting extranet sites with complex and secure integration of your firm’s information.

Practice Area Pages The QuickStart intranet provides site templates used by all practice group sites to provide consistent functionality and look-and-feel throughout the Intranet. They provide commonly needed components such as document lists, DMS integration, practice area contacts, financial information, and clients and matters. |

Dynamic Client and Matter Pages One of the most customized features of the QuickStart intranet is the dynamic pages and the custom-built web parts for client and matter information. These customizations provide a framework for all client and matter pages that scales much better than creating sites for hundreds of thousands of clients and matters using native SharePoint functionality.

Office Services Pages As one part of the complete legal-specific intranet site structure provided by the QuickStart intranet, Office Services pages contain important information shared by all members of the firm. Content is available in an intuitive way so users can find valuable information quickly. The user interface, colors, fonts and graphics on this site are all consistent throughout the entire site.

Firm Directory The Firm Directory is one of the most popular and effective pieces of QuickStart intranet! Based on input from large law firms nationwide, this product was built with an advanced search interface that allows users to find firm contacts based on such things as personnel location, languages spoken, committee involvement, and experience. An intelligent right-side panel displays firm directory contacts who share common attributes to provide quick links to those directory entries. Also, browse-by-photo functionality allows users to identify a co-worker by their photo.

Office Location Pages The QuickStart intranet includes many types of site templates including Office site templates. All your firm’s office sites can be created quickly and consistently. Office sites provide information regarding the office location, announcements for the office, office-specific documents and/or procedures, office contacts, calendars and more. |
