(NASDAQ:HUMC)(NASDAQ:TSX:)(NASDAQ:HUM), a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions today announced the release of LegalKEY(R) Interactive Conflicts Resolution(TM), a Web-based system that enables law firms to collaboratively review and resolve conflicts before bringing in new business. LegalKEY Interactive Conflicts Resolution works in conjunction with LegalKEY Conflicts Management(TM), which provides thorough conflict of interest searches against internal and external (e.g. OFAC/SDN) source for optimal firm protection.
LegalKEY Interactive Conflicts Resolution was designed to help attorneys resolve conflicts quickly, interactively and thoroughly.
