Lendac Introduces NextPage
Matrix Breakthrough Peer-to-Peer Application that Streamlines the Way Companies
Complete Large-Scale Projects and Global Business Transactions
NextPage Matrix™ First Technology to Integrate Distributed Content,
Business Processes and Collaboration for Information-Intensive Industries, such
as Legal, Insurance and Accounting
Dublin 7 November 2001 Lendac today introduced
NextPage Matrix, a unique new software application that utilizes the company’s
peer-to-peer architecture to streamline the way companies complete large-scale
transactions for business. Matrix unifies the process of accessing information,
collaborating and using best practices into a single, integrated experience.
The technology enables companies to more efficiently complete complex,
time-intensive projects and transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions,
investments, underwriting and auditing.
“Matrix empowers large, distributed organizations to more effectively execute
complex, global business projects,” said Bill Wesemann chief executive officer
of NextPage. “Businesses that deploy this technology will experience increased
synergy and efficiency among their workgroups, resulting in significant
productivity gains and better strategic business decisions.”
NextPage Matrix is an enterprise peer-to-peer application that allows
users to share knowledge and expertise in context of a business process. With
Matrix, users can create a collaborative workspace, where they can instantly
access information, people and best practices located within the company or
distributed across external organizations, such as customers, third-party
partners or suppliers. While working on a project or transaction in the
workspace, distributed teams can interact, calendar, plan and generate new
ideas. Once a project is completed, the successful steps of that project can be
archived, shared and repeated by other peers within the collaborative
Peer-to-Peer Business Network.
“Peer-to-peer technology dramatically changes the way companies look at
business processes,” said Robert Batchelder, research director at Gartner Inc.
“It is ushering in an era of encouraging people to build communities and share
information. Companies that embrace peer-to-peer technologies will have a
significant competitive advantage, because they will be able to do things
faster.”
Baker & McKenzie, one of the largest law firms in the world, with more than
3,000 attorneys and 62 offices worldwide, is using Matrix as part of a
knowledge system to streamline the process of completing global projects and
transactions. With this system, attorneys create a collaborative workspace,
where practitioners, clients, financial institutions and other relevant parties
from around the world can interact with each other and discuss contracts,
financial statements and other significant documents.
Matrix is also suited to other information-intensive industries, such as
banking, accounting and insurance, for use in cross-selling, auditing,
underwriting, investments and risk management.
NextPage was first to deliver Peer-to-Peer Content Networking to the
enterprise, changing the way businesses manage, access and exchange distributed
content. Now, with the launch of Matrix, NextPage enables Peer-to-Peer Business
Networking, connecting entire businesses across organizational boundaries. In a
Business Network, users within large, decentralized enterprises not only access
distributed information in real time, but they can also collaborate around that
information in context of established business processes.
