Thomson Elite and Integration Appliance Ink Reseller Deal to Ease Application Integration for Professional Services Firms
IntApp product focuses on data and security management, helps maintain ethical walls
LOS ANGELES, August 21, 2006 – Thomson Elite, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) and a worldwide provider of integrated practice and financial management systems to professional services firms, has formed a reseller partnership with Integration Appliance (IntApp), the leading provider of data integration and security management solutions for law firms.
Thomson Elite will sell pre-packaged IntApp solutions and implementation services for streamlining the new business intake process and managing ethical wall and application security enforcement. IntApp’s flagship product combines a hardware device and software application that connects third-party applications to the Elite financial and practice management system. It also provides an extensive library of pre-built solution templates for common IT challenges such as client/matter management, new personnel intake and event-driven notification.
“Our customers told us they needed better ways to manage data communication and security enforcement in professional services firms,” said Bruce Wilson, senior director, client technical services, Thomson Elite. “IntApp’s reputation in the marketplace made it a natural choice as a partner to enhance our service offering to meet this demand.”
IntApp controls access across a variety of systems where sensitive data is stored, including document management, accounting, CRM, records management, collaboration, identity management and email. As the industry’s only self-managing system, IntApp’s ethical walls automatically maintain and extend themselves in real time in response to new business or staff activity.
“Strong ethical walls are vital for organizations that need to manage internal access to private information to satisfy client and regulatory requirements,” said Dan O’Day, director, practice management, Thomson Elite. “IntApp’s offering allows firms to enforce self-maintaining security restrictions across key information repositories and to administer those controls through a single interface.”
“Thomson Elite offers best-of-breed tools and service professionals in its areas of expertise, financial and practice management,” said John Hall, president, Integration Appliance. “Meanwhile, firms are becoming more technology savvy and use a number of systems that need to talk to teach other. We’re excited to work side-by-side with a market leader like Elite to make that job easier.”
