Practice Technologies, Inc. has announced the release of RealPractice™ ACE Profiler™. The ACE Profiler brings the power of RealPractice Private Access, the gold-standard in law firm Work Product Retrieval, to a variety of search interfaces, including a firm’s existing document management system.
“The RealPractice ACE Profiler is a completely new delivery mechanism for our task-based information retrieval model,” said Rudolph DeFelice, president and chief executive officer of Practice Technologies, Inc. “Our first work product retrieval solution, RealPractice Private Access, analyzes documents in the firm’s DMS behind the scenes, but has its own interface for search and retrieval. With RealPractice ACE Profiler, there will be no need for users to learn a second product; the document profiling and categorization functionality of RealPractice will be embedded in the document management system, or in other third party search tools. By delivering this capability as an embedded component of the document management system, which most practitioners use every day, it will be easy for attorneys to incorporate focused work product retrieval into their drafting and research routines. I believe that increasingly, firms will view work product retrieval and other “Knowledge Management” applications as part of their DMS initiative, and will seek solutions that integrate accordingly.”
RealPractice™ ACE Profiler™ brings the power of RealPractice™ Private Access, the gold-standard in law firm Work Product Retrieval, to a variety of search interfaces, including a firm’s existing DMS. RealPractice™ Private Access leverages the categorization and extraction of the ACE engine to provide pin-point search and retrieval through the RealPractice™ interface. ACE Profiler™ enables firms to take advantage of this categorization and extraction through other search tools, enhancing the existing search experience while maintaining an interface with which users are already familiar.
The RealPractice ACE Profiler™ is powered by the ACE™ (Abstract Creation Engine), the proprietary technology behind other RealPractice products. The ACE systematically analyzes a firm’s accumulated work product, using algorithms to discern the legal issues, jurisdictions and document types pertaining to each discrete document in the collection. This information is collected in abstracts. The level of detail about each document that is automatically collected by the ACE enables users to hone in on very specific documents. Complex, cross-indexed searches are conducted behind the scenes by the program, while users merely indicate the kind of document they wish to locate.
