How are Litera\u2019s new releases at ILTA related to that idea?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AR: <\/strong>That\u2019s part of the key innovation driven by what we\u2019re calling our growth tech platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Partners are looking for areas to cross-sell and at areas where they can grow their business, and that\u2019s where being able to access this data \u2014 which was previously siloed in individual systems that they don\u2019t have access to \u2014 comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019re able to leverage that data for the power of going out and finding that new business and serving their clients and identifying areas of cross-selling.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, 100%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Avaneesh mentioned at that company update, though, that what we\u2019re really focusing on is getting people the right data, at the right time, and in the right place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So when we talk about data, sometimes you need that kind of information around billings or clients or contracts or matter experience. We have access to all of that information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you need firm precedent data, sometimes you need clauses, sometimes you need proofreading results, sometimes you need comparisons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The proactive skills in Lito are key to being able to get that right data at the right time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, Lito recognizes when you need a document comparison, and we\u2019re automatically giving you that. Lito recognizes when you\u2019re getting a question about firm experience, and we\u2019re automatically providing that to you as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019re delivering that data when they need it, in the interface that they\u2019re already working with.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where I\u2019m most excited around the kind of potential for us to help those rainmakers grow and develop the business further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATL: So ILTACON is around the corner. What do you hope attendees take away from Litera\u2019s offerings there this year?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AR: <\/strong>What I really would like them to take away is seeing what we\u2019re able to provide across the whole product portfolio that we have.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that I constantly hear from our customers is: How are you investing in the core solutions that they use and love today? How are you integrating those solutions together? And how are you investing in what you are trying to achieve going forward?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I really want them to take away those three things \u2014 to be able to see how we\u2019re investing in the solutions that they\u2019ve been customers for, and bringing really cutting-edge advancements to each of those kind of product lines, along with how we\u2019re integrating that product portfolio together and how Litera One is able to bring those workflows into end-to-end solutions.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of things that we\u2019re releasing, which, if I had them when I was a practicing lawyer, it would\u2019ve made me very happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Being able to see that come to life is really the best part of my job.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Ryan On the heels of five new product announcements this summer, Litera is poised to make a major splash at ILTACON 2025.
