Major Australian law firm Allens Arthur Robinson has chosen Recommind's Decisiv Search and Matters & Expertise Tools to overhaul its information management Infrastructure.

Based on Recommind's CORE (Context Optimised Relevancy Engine) platform, the deployment will provide sophisticated information management capabilities for 1800 employees in 14 offices throughout Australia and Asia.

Initially, Decisiv Search will be run over the firm's existing knowledge repository, followed by the addition of the Matters & Expertise module to assist employees to locate colleagues with the most relevant experience and knowledge to answer a specific query.

The implementation of Recommind's QwikFind toolbar will provide easy access to Decisiv Search from the desktop toolbar to Microsoft Office applications.

"During our evaluation, we were extremely impressed with the capabilities of Recommind's solutions," said Rachel O'Connor, director of knowledge services at Allens Arthur Robinson.

"It was clear that Recommind really understood our requirements, and the performance of the technology demonstrated that it was tailored to our needs as a law firm. The collaboration, the wealth of experience and the ease of implementation that were offered were very attractive."
