March 09, 2009

InterAction onDemand offers mid-market law firms enterprise-strength CRM at 22 percent cost savings over three years

March 9, 2009 — New York, NY, March 9, 2009 - To help law firms enhance their client develop capabilities in an increasingly difficult economy, LexisNexis (www.lexisnexis.com), a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions, today announced the North American launch of InterAction® onDemand, the first web-accessible customer relationship management (CRM) solution for mid-market law firms. This new Software as a Service (SaaS) offering streamlines one of the leading global CRM solutions into a lower-cost, more-simplified application for firms with fewer than 250 attorneys.

InterAction onDemand offers mid-sized law firms an opportunity to access provider-hosted CRM services without the need for IT or human resources staffing; hardware purchase and maintenance; management of data centers; database and operating system software licenses; or software upgrades and training. Law firms previously unable to benefit from the enterprise application can now realize its full potential with InterAction onDemand.


"LexisNexis is meeting growing demand among mid-market firms by developing tailored solutions with high-level functionality that are quick, inexpensive and secure," said Bill Wilshire, vice president of CRM/Analytics at LexisNexis. "We estimate that the streamlined efficiencies of InterAction onDemand hosted software will enable a firm with 100 attorneys to realize average cost savings of about 22 percent over three years as a result of less hardware, staffing and licenses."


Firms that deploy InterAction onDemand can benefit from its seamless integration onto computers firm-wide. The outsourced CRM software offers the functionality of the enterprise application of InterAction software in a defined package. Some of the value-added features include:

  • Reliable LexisNexis® infrastructure to ensure 24 x 365 access to the system for authorized users
