Akerman Senterfitt Purchases Traveling Coaches' Office 2010 and Autonomy iManage Rollout Materials
August 1, 2011, DALLAS, TX - Traveling Coaches, the nationally recognized training, application configuration and user adoption consulting partner to law firms and corporate legal departments, today announced that Akerman Senterfitt, has purchased Traveling Coaches’ Office 2010 and Autonomy iManage Rollout materials for the firm’s on-going technology training program.
“We are pleased to partner with Traveling Coaches for our Office 2010 upgrade and iManage FileSite 8.5 migration. Their Office 2010 and FileSite Rollout materials were not only professionally designed, but they saved us a tremendous amount of time. The resources we gained from their outside expertise will be a key factor in our success,” said Danny Rhinehart, Akerman Senterfitt Chief Information Officer.
Akerman Senterfitt is committed to providing the firm’s user community with best in class education and support before, during and after the deployment of Office 2010. This partnership with Traveling Coaches equips the law firm with outside expertise in educating and preparing IT support staff team members, training and supporting users and building and executing an overall communication and user adoption plan for a successful Office 2010 rollout and iManage upgrade.
The project team, composed of members from Traveling Coaches and Akerman Senterfitt, will leverage materials and best practices from the Traveling Coaches’ renowned Office 2010 Rollout materials. The Office 2010 Rollout materials are a collection of communications, project marketing, e-learning, classroom and floor support tools which are legal-specific and delivered in soft copy for easy customization by law firms. While the project team will customize the materials and communication pieces to fit the specifics of Akerman Senterfitt’s project, the firm will avoid the cost and time associated with developing these tools from scratch.
“We are happy to partner with Akerman Senterfitt on their upcoming Office 2010 and iManage FileSite project,” added Gina Buser, Chief Executive Officer. “Our materials are the distillation of our proven best practices delivered in a format law firms can immediately implement to ensure success. We believe our partnership and use of our materials will provide an excellent foundation for a successful project.”
