Biscom Furthers Legal Industry Leadership with Launch of Biscom Secure File Transfer 4.1

New features include secure workspace, enhanced antivirus, PayPal integration and an iPad app

Chelmsford, MA August 22, 2011 – Biscom, provider of the AmLaw 200’s most secure document exchange technology, today announced the launch of version 4.1 of its Biscom Secure File Transfer for Legal. The version, announced during the first day of the International Legal Technology Association’s annual conference, has new capabilities for the legal industry that include document exchange and collaboration with clients and outside counsel, antivirus protection, PayPal integration and an iPad app.

Counsel and litigation-focused professionals gain the following benefits from this version:

• Expanded client relations and business development potential via the ability to offer secure environments for law firm and client collaboration. 
  
• Enhanced security via antivirus integration that scans documents for viruses before they are downloaded.
  
• Compliance with internal security auditing and regulatory rules via expanded secure delivery transaction reporting that includes not only the ability to audit a delivery but also the ability for the sender to see who has viewed delivered files.
  
• Increased cost recovery for small- to mid-sized law firms via an integration with PayPal that requires recipients to pay before being able to download a document.
  
• Amplified ability to work anywhere, anytime with Biscom’s iPad application.

“The ability for lawyers and litigation support professionals to be supremely productive is imperative for an AmLaw 200 firm’s billable hours and competitive edge,” said Charlie Magliato, Legal Program Director for Biscom. “Biscom legal document exchange solutions support this by offering an intuitive user experience and valuable integrations specific to the legal industry that enhance security and productivity and increase cost recovery.”

The ILTA conference will serve as the base for numerous Biscom announcements, including partnerships that further demonstrate Biscom’s legal industry leadership. The interoperability of Biscom secure delivery and Litera’s metadata management protects confidential data and increases security.  A partnership between mindSHIFT and Biscom ensures the delivery of Biscom’s technology by one of the legal industry’s leading professional and managed services providers.

Biscom will also present its secure document exchange solution at ILTA’s State of the Art Technology Demos track on August 23 at 1:30 p.m. CT. The session will include an overview and demonstration of how Biscom Secure File Transfer for Legal is being deployed and successfully used in law firms and corporate legal departments.
