OpenText has announced the availability of a cloud based filesharing platform developed for the legal industry, OpenText Tempo Express. It combines the document management capabilities of eDOCS with OpenText Tempo for secure access to sensitive documents and information at any time, from any mobile device.

This new offering provides an alternative to external, consumer-facing services and helps prevent users from circumventing the IT department to secure these services on their own.

Because of the critical importance of maintaining client confidentiality, the legal industry is especially challenged to find safe and secure cloud solutions that give their firm a competitive edge while safeguarding confidential client information. 

"This latest version of OpenText Tempo Express provides law offices with a very simple, cloud-based content sharing and synchronization service that lets users easily share files in a secure environment," said Todd Partridge, vice president and general manager, eDOCS and Legal Solutions at OpenText. 

This collaborative solution addresses legal needs and allows in-house hosting to ensure that privileged client information stays secure, while also offering lawyers and their clients a way to access and share their documents on the go and in a very user-friendly manner."

OpenText Tempo Express provides a self-contained environment that can be used without a previously existing content management system or alongside other content repositories.
