'Document Lifecycle' Site Launches in the Cloud

By Robert J. Ambrogi

<a href="http://www.litera.com/">Lit ra</a>, a company that markets a suite of "document lifecycle management" products popular among many larger law firms, today is launching a cloud-based version, <a href="http://www.literalive.com/">Lit ra Live</a>. The software-as-a-service allows users to:<br /><ul><li>Collaborate on documents in real time with multiple users.</li><li>Compare all Microsoft Office and PDF documents, including documents with embedded objects and images.</li><li>Clean metadata from all Office and PDF documents.</li><li>Convert Office documents to PDF.</li><li>Extract native PDF documents to Word.</li></ul>Because it is cloud-based, it can be used from any device and from any location. Later, Lit ra will roll out a desktop widget, called Lit ra Communicator, that will serve as a drag-and-drop interface between the user's desktop and the application in the cloud.<br /><br />An unlimited license to use Lit ra Live costs $14 per user per month. It can also be used by purchasing credits in increments starting at 40 credits for $10. (A document comparison requires four credits, metadata cleaning is two credits, PDF extraction is one credit.) New registrants receive four free credits for a free PDF conversion.<br /><br />Law firms that use the company's desktop applications include Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Jones Day, Akin Gump, Alston & Bird and Crowell & Moring. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3958829-6118206932617306306?l=www.legaline.com%2Flawsites.html' alt='' /></div>
