Boston, Mass. - February 15, 2008
– Contact Networks, the pioneer and industry leader in Enterprise Relationship Management (ERM) software for professional services firms, announced that leading law firm Lowenstein Sandler PC (www.lowenstein.com) has become the thirtieth large law firm to implement ContactNet. With ContactNet, Lowenstein can leverage the firm’s relationship network to support new business development and enhance client services relationships.
“Relationships drive our business,” said Lee Garfinkle, Chief Marketing Officer of Lowenstein Sandler PC. “Contact Networks provided the ideal solution for understanding and managing all of our relationships. Its search tool is comprehensive yet very easy to use with search results that are clearly ranked by relevance. Contact Networks was the logical choice for us because of their proven track record successfully implementing ERM solutions for the legal industry.”
Lowenstein selected ContactNet to automate the process of finding and leveraging the firm’s valuable business relationships. Working closely with Contact Networks’ expert staff, Lowenstein was up and running on ContactNet within days. ContactNet automatically analyzes data; it does not require busy professionals to manually enter information into a database, freeing up more of their time to spend with clients. No special training for the software is required due to an easy-to-use and intuitive “Google-like” user interface. Attorneys and staff simply link to ContactNet through the company’s intranet and can search for contacts or companies to discover which colleagues may have a useful relationship or business connection to help them. Lowenstein will use ContactNet to instantly develop targeted lists for marketing, assist the business development team by identifying connections to prospects, and uncover additional cross-selling opportunities.
“Lowenstein joins 29 other large law firms who have realized the benefit of using ContactNet to turn their powerful relationship networks into business development tools,” said Geoffrey Hyatt, Founder and CEO of Contact Networks. “We’ve had an exceptional year with leading law firms, such as Lowenstein, adopting our ERM solution. Contact Networks is now part of Thomson, which provides more resources to broaden our reach to other professional services organizations.”
