iCONECT is launching a roadshow in September, taking its XERA eDiscovery application and XERA Advanced Analytics to a number of US cities and to London and Sydney. The list of cities and booking information can be found here.

This is an opportunity not only to see XERA’s user friendlyinterface, but to talk with product experts on new features and on how to use them to reduce costs and generate income. The intended audiences include law firms, hosting providers, technology providers, legal consultants, corporate legal departments and government agency professionals. Each seminar will last for three hours.

I have written a fair amount recently encouraging potential users to make themselves familiar with the technology tools which compete for their attention in this thriving and competitive marketplace. From the seminar descriptions, the XERA ones offer far more than mere demonstrations, and with the added bonus of having them brought to the doorstep of many potential users.

iCONECT has gone out of its way to make itself accessible – better than many others who are keen to encourage interest in their products. The starting point was a user interface which, as I put it on its launch, is “an interface designed for the Facebook and LinkedIn generation but which nevertheless conveys business-like efficiency”; they followed that with a redesigned website and a continuing series of webinars aimed both at existing users and at those interested in seeing what XERA can do. These include a series of recorded webinars for end-user training, custom webinars on request and support tools which include links to user groups and feature requests.

The next live webinar is on 12 June and called XERA best practices – searching and filtering. You can see a list of future iCONECT educational and industry insight webinars here.

When you add that to stories like iCONECT’s involvement in the BP oil spill (see BP Oil Spill Plaintiffs Sucessfully Deploy iCONECT Review Platform), you have a combination of use-case and presentation which deserves attention.

If none of the venues is convenient for you, or if you cannot wait until September, iCONECT will happily bring XERA to your desktop in the form of a scheduled demonstration – you can set that up on this page.
