Expert reviewer says with Corporate Focus the endless search for corporate documents is over.

July 17, 2006, Needham, MA — The national paralegal magazine Legal Assistant Today reviewed Corporate Focus from Two Step Software, Inc. in its July/August 2006 issue and describes it as an easy to use application highly focused on finding the information and documents that make up the underpinnings of good corporate governance.

After a hands-on review of Corporate Focus, Brett Burney, the Legal Technology Support Coordinator at Thompson Hine LLP in Cleveland, Ohio, and a regular contributor to many legal technology publications, summarized his review by stating: “… welcome to an application that can change your professional life.” He believes that the ability to find the right information easily and quickly is critical to a successful law practice.

“While you might be a master of the three-ring binder or a wiz at Excel formulas, those skills become trivial when the managing partner or client calls up and immediately demands an ownership report or a copy of last month’s minutes,” writes Burney, “If you can’t find and deliver, your system is worthless.”

He states that finding information faster is where Corporate Focus provides exceptional value. “I found it to be a refreshingly intuitive application that fixates on a single pursuit … [It] allows you to enter information about a corporation; then edit, view and twist that information all around to retrieve whatever golden nugget you need.”

However, it’s not only the ability to find the information faster and more easily, but also providing the legal document backup that is critical for attorneys to be able to do their work. “Any record in Corporate Focus can have a document attached to it,” explains Burney. “This is a fantastic feature because any time you enter information into Corporate Focus, you can attach supporting documentation. Imagine never having to scrounge around for a document again.”

Burney indicates that self-service access to corporate records is critical “not only for your own attorneys, but also for clients who want to root around their own information. As you can imagine, having Corporate Focus available for your clients could give your firm a distinct advantage over other competitors.”

Corporate Focus is a relational database that helps ensure that corporate governance records are up to date, well organized, and easily accessible. With its powerful set of executive dashboards, attorneys and their clients can quickly see a summary view of corporate governance information, stock and option records, contract terms and deadlines, and intellectual property. Documents are attached to data records so related legal back up is just a click away.

“Our law firm customers and their clients are looking for immediate access to a richer set of information so they can make smarter, better informed decisions,” says Gary D. Levine, President and Founder of Two Step Software. “Clients want their attorneys to have the information at their fingertips when they are on a call or in a meeting and don’t want to wait around while someone searches file drawers or three-ring binders. I think we can all appreciate the frustration when it’s not immediate or we can’t have self-service access.”

Burney’s verdict: “I absolutely recommend this product for corporate attorneys and paralegals.”
