Kirkland, WA. - March 31, 2005 – The ongoing demand for law firms and corporate legal departments to capture their firm’s best practices has compelled Ixio™ Corporation, an emerging leader in technology and services for the legal profession, to release QShift, Version 1.5. The latest release further streamlines the knowledge assembly process by allowing multiple clause editing, support for tables and provides a new and improved document “disassembly” tool. The monthly Internet subscription-based application tool for lawyers continues to keep its focus on the unique method of mixing applied knowledge management with the formation of documents. Attorneys continue to have the unique ability to add annotations, comments and enforce rules at the clause level during the document drafting process.

“We are listening to our customers and responding accordingly. With the new features in Version 1.5, our product further simplifies the process of pushing the firm’s best practices directly onto the document drafting process”, said co-founder and CEO, Craig Kobayashi. “QShift 1.5 takes the entire knowledge assembly process to the next level.”
