Law firms able to search and access case files much more quickly
- Three month pilot tests available for free to a limited number of practices
- Webinar this Thursday 23rd October
“Threads® is geared to law firms for quick access to ALL their digital communications on a particular case”
Law practices are to be amongst the first to receive free pilot test offers for Threads®, the software development that allows fast and easy searching across all a law teams’ digital communications such as emails and phone calls.
It won a global Innovation award last week, and lawyers and their IT support staff are being invited to find out more in a webinar this Thursday 23rd October, starting at 4pm.
“Threads uniqueness is that it can search all of a firm’s correspondence on a particular case, not just limited to the current email search facilities that allows one lawyer to search only his or her emails.” Explains John Yardley, Managing Director of JPY, the developers of Threads.
“Also, lawyers’ emails often include very large attachments which can quickly burn up storage space and search times – particularly when they are cc’d to all relevant parties. Threads does away with the need to cc all the parties you think might be interested. All messages are automatically backed up off site, together with key attachments, so it’s never a problem to find a digital file or to recover a message that is deleted.”
“Lawyers deal with many different clients and professionals on a casefile, and keeping track of all the communications exchanged both within the practice’s team and new external contacts can be tricky.” John says.
Threads’ ability to seamlessly include VoIP phone calls can increase its usefulness by an order of magnitude. It also provides an automatic way for law firms to build and maintain their own contact database – reflecting the people they actually deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Last week, Threads won a Global Business Excellence Award in their Outstanding Innovation category, alongside other winners announced by GBEA including Microsoft, Vodafone and BAe Systems.
The webinar is this Thursday, 23rd October, 4pm-5pm BST, contact threads@jpy.com for more information or register here.

JPY Plc is one of the most established software companies in the UK, starting in 1982.
When it migrated its customer records from steel cabinets to digital disks, staff noticed that the gains made in digitisation were matched by a loss in collaboration. With a filing cabinet, staff had access to a physical, paper customer file - and it was obvious when someone else was working on it. The replacement digital versions mostly ended up hidden in private user emails. Worse, despite the phenomenal searching power of computers, users still had trouble finding documents or messages.
As computer scientists working in the field of high-performance workflow, JPY were ideally placed to find a solution, and the result is a software service called Threads®.
