The Sackett Group and American LegalNet Inc. Announce the Release of MacPac Connect
Product Module Allows Users to Save Time by Auto-Filling Court Forms
January 29, 2008 – San Francisco, CA...
The Sackett Group, Inc. and American LegalNet, Inc., announce the availability of MacPac Connect™, enabling American LegalNet’s FormsWorkFlow subscribers to automatically insert contacts directly into their forms or profiles from any contact source.
MacPac Connect is an optional add-on tool that streamlines the completion of court, corporate, regulatory, and legal forms. The product connects to your data source and inserts contact information automatically from your client relationship management (CRM) system, e-mail program, or firm database. Connect allows users to search their databases for specific contact names and enables legal assistants to search their own contact stores and that of the attorneys they support. Less manual work is required to populate master profiles or fields in any of the thousands of available forms because they are automatically filled in, so Connect users work with greater efficiency and productivity.
MacPac Connect works seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook, GroupWise, Lotus Notes, InterAction, ContactEase, and ProLaw, as well as virtually any proprietary internal or third-party database. A standalone product, Connect works either with or without other MacPac components such as the flagship macro/template package or the MacPac Numbering Tool. It is also compatible with other third-party vendors’ macro, template and numbering suites.
According to Linda Sackett, president and founder of The Sackett Group, “We are pleased to have created MacPac Connect in association with a national leader like American LegalNet. The product is seamlessly integrated and will greatly benefit FormsWorkFlow users. Legal practices need to maximize efficiency whenever they can, and MacPac Connect achieves this objective with an elegant, intuitive interface.”
Erez Bustan, President and CEO of American LegalNet, Inc., stated, “We are pleased to be partnering with a respected and veteran legal technology provider like The Sackett Group. MacPac Connect is a convenient add-on for our FormsWorkFlow product and serves an important need for legal professionals, since it accesses data which has already been entered by the firm, thus eliminating wasteful double entry and reducing manual work requirements.”
