Dallas, TX - August 10, 2005:  Traveling Coaches, the nationally recognized training, integration and consulting partner to law firms and corporations, today announced the addition of a new technology skills assessment package for law firms, LEAP Xpress. Taking advantage of the unique document analysis properties of Microsystems DocXamine, Traveling Coaches LEAP Xpress provides law firms with a fast, affordable way to assess the document production skills of their staff.

“We are thrilled to work with Traveling Coaches to deliver additional value to law firms,” said Tom O’Sullivan, CEO of Microsystems. “Skills assessment continues to be a hot topic. With LEAP Xpress and Microsystems DocXamine, firms now have a cost-effective way to kick-start their assessment efforts.”

Utilizing industry standard best practices for document production, staff specific core competencies and skills based learning plans, LEAP Xpress uses custom Microsystems DocXamine rule sets as a foundation for both firm-wide document audits and individual user skill assessments. DocXamine is a component of the Microsystems Knowledge Partnership.

Gina Buser, President of Traveling Coaches, added, “DocXamine is a powerful tool for automated skills assessment. With LEAP Xpress, law firms can immediately implement a skills assessment program for pre-hires, new hires and existing staff.”

A complete package, LEAP Xpress includes all of the necessary product deliverables and specialized services for assessing an individual or group of users. LEAP Xpress customers receive documented best practices, core competencies, and learning plans for both litigation and transactional practice areas, which serve as a guide to improved learning and relevancy of skill sets for different user groups. Also included are:

• Rule sets
• Skills accelerators
• Test documents
• An assessment toolbar
• Custom, easy-to-read reports

Rounding out the LEAP Xpress package, Traveling Coaches delivers onsite, specialized services to import the DocXamine rule sets, perform an initial document audit, report assessment findings and consult with the firm on the implementation of an ongoing skills assessment program.
