"Merging technology infrastructures can be challenging," said John Lakosil, Senior Manager, Law Department Administration.  "Updating our legacy matter management systems to Passport will provide the combined company with a legal technology infrastructure that supports both our near-term operational needs, as well as allow us to evolve the system to support long-term legal strategy."

United is a long-time Datacert client, having used the company's legacy legal spend management and reporting solution for over 5 years. 

Passport has been recently recognized by Hyperion Research, the leading analyst firm focused on legal technology and operations, for its industry-leading design and usability and extensive configuration and development tools.  Since its launch just over a year ago, Passport has been selected by more than 25 companies and government entities, primarily Fortune/Fortune Global 500 corporations, such as CenturyLink (formerly Qwest Communications), Johnson Controls, and Nissan International.
