Verdatum Named Winner of Gold Award for Dictation Systems by Law Technology News

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 12, 2009) - Verdatum, developer of the only digital dictation workflow system designed exclusively for lawyers and law firms, has been named the winner of the prestigious Gold Award in the dictation systems category by Law Technology News.

The recognition caps off a breakthrough year for Verdatum, during which the company has signed agreements with a record number of new customers as law firms continue to recognize the productivity benefits that come with implementing a system designed specifically for the workflow of their attorneys and staff.

"We are honored and humbled to receive this prestigious award, but we realize that the real thanks go to our customers and loyal product users who have enthusiastically embraced our system," said John Methfessel, President and CEO of Verdatum. "This is a tremendous recognition for the entire Verdatum team, whose architecture, development, sales and support efforts have created the deepest and best digital dictation software team in the industry."

Verdatum was nominated for the award by the more than 40,000 subscribers of Law Technology News, the leading legal technology magazine in the industry. In winning the award, Verdatum joins the ranks of other winners such as LexisNexis and Interwoven, which is also a product integration partner with Verdatum.

The Law Technology News Gold Award in the dictation systems category will be awarded to Verdatum at the sixth annual Gold Awards program, to be held in conjunction with the 2009 LegalTech New York conference and trade show, at the New York Hilton in New York City on Monday, February 2nd. Verdatum will also be exhibiting at the trade show and offering one-on-one demonstrations of the system at booth number 2002 on the exhibit floor.

"This is the first year that Law Technology News has had a dictation systems award category, so winning the Gold Award in its inaugural year is special because it validates the vision that our team has pursued so diligently over the course of the last five years," said Methfessel. "We have consistently maintained that lawyers and law firms deserve a solution that is designed, sold and supported exclusively for them. Lawyers want a system designed for lawyers, not for physicians, and law firms need systems that are created to support them, not hospitals. Since we understand the client service needs of law firms better than any other company in the industry, our system is increasingly being viewed as the digital dictation system of choice for the legal profession."
