IT-BUSINESS - With an eye towards integration and cost savings, business law firm Stikeman Elliott chose RedDot to supply a new content management system (CMS) for its growing business.

"Just looking down the line at the data explosion and the amount of documents that are being created, we wanted to make sure that they were managed in the best possible way," said Venky Srinivasan, director of technology at Stikeman Elliott.

"We expect that as the needs amongst our internal clients grow, we need to deliver more personalized and classified information to them," said Srinivasan. "So, we were looking for a really robust enterprise-level CMS, which could not only manage content within the portal, but at the same time manage our external Web site content."

After an extensive study of CMS providers the law firm chose RedDot because of the benefits that come from owning a CMS that integrates with its current Hummingbird applications.

"With (Hummingbird's) acquisition (of RedDot) we are convinced that integration of the CMS with the document management system is going to be great, thereby giving us more features and functionality to push the content to our internal audience, as well as to our external Web site audience," said Srinivasan.

Having a single vendor that can manage upgrades and updates across a suite of products was another selling point.
