Johnson Controls to Implement Datacert Passport for Global Legal Department Management

Global diversified company will consolidate existing systems built in-house on Datacert’s patent-pending technology platform

HOUSTON – March 31, 2011 – Datacert, Inc., the premier global provider of enterprise legal management solutions, announced today that Johnson Controls, a global diversified company in the building and automotive industries, has selected PassportTM to enhance the management of its legal technology systems. Passport, Datacert’s patent-pending platform for consolidating and integrating legal applications, will enable Johnson Controls to consolidate and integrate existing legal systems that were built in-house and provide greater management visibility into areas such as case and expense management.

Passport is the only enterprise legal management platform that enables global law departments to consolidate and integrate all legal technology solutions in one space. Johnson Controls, which serves customers in more than 150 countries, will consolidate legal systems from three global business units on Passport. This consolidation will provide the company greater visibility into the company’s legal work and provide additional benefits, such as improved efficiency and collaboration between internal and external attorneys.

"Datacert’s Passport solution will provide us the ability to manage our existing legal system applications on a single platform and the flexibility to integrate new applications. It also will provide us greater case management visibility, which is particularly important given the global footprint of our legal team," said Ted Jankowski, Director of Corporate Legal Services for Johnson Controls.

"Passport was specifically developed to be a broad solution that could be scaled to address diverse industry and organizational needs, now and for years to come," said Jim Tallman, president and chief executive officer, Datacert. "Datacert is the only enterprise legal management vendor in a position to offer Johnson Controls a comprehensive solution that meets their unique requirements for consolidating existing systems and configuring new applications in a way that enables the organization to leverage internal resources."
