After months of anticipation (and a lot of beta testing), LexisNexis is pleased to announce that Time Matters Version 11.1 (as opposed to Service Release 1, which has been available for some time now) is now ready for their customers.
So what’s in this new version and why is it so important?
- The biggest feature – Integration with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
- Time Matters users can now synchronize their individual Time Matters calendars and contacts with Microsoft Outlook, via their Exchange Server, for anytime access on their desktops or mobile phones. This enables firms to take advantage of the latest Exchange Server enhancements from Microsoft. As new servers get rolled out, this will become increasingly important.
- Other benefits
- Support for Recurring events in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – It was so frustrating to set up a recurring Event in Outlook only to have to manually re-enter or update multiple Events in Time Matters. No more! Now when a recurring event is created or changed in Microsoft Outlook, it is recognized as such in Time Matters.
- Import Calendar Events and Contacts from Previous TM and Exchange Server 2003 & 2007 Integrations – This new feature reduces the time and costs involved with upgrading to Exchange Server 2010.
- View More Information in TM Mobility Calendar Events – Now TM Mobility users can include AND view the location and Attending Contact when looking at calendar events on their Web-enabled smartphones or other mobile devices. Please Note: To do this, customers must previously have installed the latest version of the TM Mobility Access Manager and be currently subscribed to a Time Matters Annual Maintenance Plan.
- Improvements to features based on Customer Requests – Addresses issues reported by customers to improve performance.
Time Matters 11.1 is available for download for all active subscribers. The Time Matters Support Center contains instructions on how to upgrade to Version 11.1. A detailed list of the improvements included in this service release can be found in the Time Matters v11.1 Release Notes.
We advise customers to check with the Lexis Time Matters technical support department if they have any questions about the effects of the upgrade, particularly if they use Time Matters linked to any and all third-party programs.
Our clients are always welcome to contact us at 1-877-ELS-0555 to discuss implementation of this Time Matters update, or to ask any other questions you may have regarding this or any other legal technology products.
