Mangosoft Launches Mangomind Internet Document Sharing Service For Legal Professionals

Mangosoft Also Announces the Mangomind Pilot Program; New York Law Firm Proskauer Rose First to Join

New York, NY - January 30, 2001: Mangosoft Inc. (Nasdaq: BB: MGOF), developers of Internet-enabling business software and services, today announced at the LegalTech 2001 show in New York City Mangomind for Legal Services, the first Internet document sharing service that improves secure collaboration among legal professionals, colleagues, and clients. Mangomind provides more efficient collaboration with colleagues and clients outside of their firm and is easy-to-use and intuitive, operating just like a typical Windows PC drive.

Also today, Mangosoft launched its new Mangomind Pilot Program. The program consists of a two-month trial contract with Mangosoft with up to 500 Mangomind user licenses, five gigabytes of storage space and technical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. New York law firm, Proskauer Rose LLP, Mangosoft's outside counsel, is the first to join the Pilot Program.

"We believe the Mangomind service should provide us with a tremendous advantage for sharing files between members of our firm and our clients," said Arnold Levine, Partner, Proskauer Rose LLP. "Limitations on Email distribution and retention of documents can be frustrating due to the various restrictions on file size and file type that can be imposed at various organizations. Mangomind provides a secure location where files can be easily saved, accessed and shared by all members on the client team. This capability can be effective in many of our practice areas. In particular, Mangomind should enable us to streamline the mergers and acquisitions process by making all information pertaining to the project readily accessible to the entire team, regardless of their geographic location."

The features and functionality inherent in Mangomind solve the problems that have traditionally bottlenecked communications within the legal profession. With Mangomind, legal professionals are be able to:

  • Communicate critical information faster: Users simply copy documents to the Mangomind drive and invited users can instantly access the information.
  • Collaborate with colleagues more efficiently: Users can edit documents and distribute them to colleagues without the worry of losing track of document versions.
  • Improve client relationships and reduce the cost of client communications: Users can save considerable amounts of money on overnight mail, courier charges and faxing high volumes of documents.
  • Be more productive while away from the office: Users can work on documents offline and automatically synchronize the information when they connect back to the Internet.
  • Eliminate the costs and complexities of virtual private networks: Mangomind for Legal Services provides the benefits and security of a VPN without the overhead and support requirements.

"Today many legal professionals are still struggling with inefficient and slow communications, and it is difficult for them to share information and work collaboratively online using email," said Linda Myers-Tierney, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Mangosoft. "As we expand our Pilot Program to include hundreds of other law firms like Proskauer Rose, Mangomind will improve productivity in these law firms, enabling lawyers and their staff to spend more time on cases and client relations."
