HotDocs Limited (formerly Capsoft UK) today announced the release of the HotDocs 10 suite.
The company acquired worldwide rights to the award winning document automation and assembly software in November 2009 after purchasing the HotDocs business from LexisNexis.
Russell Shepherd, Managing Director of HotDocs Limited, said “The release of HotDocs 10 marks the first in a series of announcements which will create significant changes in the document assembly market.”
This latest version of the software has been specifically developed to support the upcoming release of Microsoft Office 2010 and, in addition, will be Microsoft Silverlight enabled.
The most noteworthy changes to the suite involve HotDocs Server 10, the company’s innovative technology for deploying HotDocs document templates via the internet.
Many of HotDocs’ global customers utilise the software to generate simple or more complex documents, such as legal contracts and sophisticated loan agreements which can run to hundreds of pages with literally thousands of variables.
With the launch of HotDocs 10, the development team have integrated with Silverlight to offer customers a vastly improved product.
“The Silverlight integration is a giant step forward for three reasons,” explained Lowell Stewart, Director of Software Development for HotDocs. “Firstly, interviews for server-based HotDocs templates can now be accessed using Internet Explorer or Firefox on Windows and Safari or Firefox for Mac OS. In the past, server interviews were limited to Internet Explorer.”
He continued: “Secondly, the new interviews have an updated look and feel – a fact which users should notice immediately. Finally, and this one is the real game changer, new interviews will run ten to twenty times faster than JavaScript based interviews.”
Stewart’s enthusiasm for the HotDocs Server upgrade is echoed by Leonard DuCharme, US VP of Marketing at HotDocs, who said: “The JavaScript based interviews were functional, but slow. Silverlight dramatically accelerates the interview process, which improves productivity and ultimately saves money for the client.”
Shepherd continued: “Since the takeover, our assessment of the overall market potential has been extremely positive – we’re of the opinion that the business has a much greater reach and potential than our original estimate.”
“Long established as the market leader in the legal market, HotDocs has also made substantial inroads into wholesale penetration of the US corporate marketplace. We fully expect the adoption rate of HotDocs to vastly accelerate now that the business is in independent hands and is fully focussed on creating the very best document automation software company in the world.”
He concluded: “Further developments from HotDocs will be announced over the coming months which will change the document assembly landscape still further- this is just the beginning”.
