Gordon, Feinblatt Makes Good Decision for Wireless Messaging Platform SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology, Inc., the industry standards-based leader in wireless messaging and corporate data access, announced today that Gordon, Feinblatt Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, LLC has selected the GoodLink(TM) system over Research In Motion's BlackBerry(R) solution to provide its attorneys and support teams with two-way wirelessly synchronized access to their email, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks contained within the firm's Microsoft Exchange Server(R) system. One of Baltimore's leading law firms, Gordon, Feinblatt, with more than 100 attorneys and paralegals, has standardized on the GoodLink system running on the Treo(TM) 600 smartphone. Gordon, Feinblatt depends on its reputation for responsiveness, efficiency and client satisfaction. The company selected GoodLink because with an increasingly mobile legal workforce, availability to and communication with clients is paramount.Gordon, Feinblatt originally evaluated Research In Motion's BlackBerry solution, but selected GoodLink instead. "I had three serious misgivings about Blackberry," said Jeffrey Hackett, Executive Director of Gordon, Feinblatt. "I didn't see RIM's product advancement heading in the same direction as my firm's needs; I was extremely hesitant to equip the attorneys with yet another type of handheld device; and I was very concerned about the proprietary nature of the RIM platform. When Good brought enterprise productivity to the Treo 600, that was the missing link for us. Immediately, we had the seamless convergence of cell phone, PDA and enterprise email for our end-users." "It is my job to make technology choices that allow our attorneys to provide more efficient and effective legal services, and to be even more responsive to our clients," added Hackett. "GoodLink has clearly helped us do both. The bonus for our firm is that GoodLink running on the Treo 600 has allowed us to leapfrog our competition from a technological point of view. Even if we are sequestered in an all-day hearing or enjoying an evening game at Oriole Park, we are instantly available to our clients and colleagues." Productivity Walks In The Door Every day, Gordon, Feinblatt's attorneys take full advantage of the newfound efficiencies that result from using GoodLink. Instead of the morning ritual of synchronizing calendars across multiple attorneys, paralegals and support staff every morning, this critical information is now managed remotely via the unparalleled wireless capabilities of the GoodLink solution. "I never thought that PDAs could be truly efficient until the physical synchronization requirement went away," added Hackett. "Having real time, wireless synchronization with all aspects of Outlook is a winner application for us, one that GoodLink delivered right to our doorstep. Attorneys using Treos now arrive at the office knowing exactly what their workload looks like, eliminating the need for internal scheduling and resource allocation meetings." With realized time savings that exceed four hours per month per attorney, the economic value of GoodLink is measurable and substantial. "Like every service organization, Gordon, Feinblatt's attorneys can better serve their clients and generate more revenue for the firm when they are in close touch with their clients and one another," said Terry Austin, President, Field Operations Good Technology, Inc. "We are pleased that Gordon, Feinblatt has selected GoodLink to enhance its responsiveness while improving its business."
