McLeansville, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/01/2010 -- Litéra®, the global leader in document lifecycle management (DLM), today introduced Litéra Launchpad, a point-and-launch desktop toolbar for instant access to Litéra document lifecyle management solutions without the management complexity of software integrations. Based on Litéra patent-pending context recognition and activation engine, Litéra Launchpad enables law firms and corporations to benefit from feature rich document lifecyle management solutions without the IT management and resource costs associated with maintaining desktop software with third party integrations.

“Third party add-ins have been a source of significant frustration to IT departments. Litéra Launchpad is both an innovative and practical product,” said Sean Scott, CIO of Womble Carlyle Sandridge and Rice, PLLC. “It eliminates integration headaches and allows me to upgrade Microsoft Office or Windows OS to the next version at any time. With Launchpad, there are no add-ins or plug-ins to manage, no integration costs and no performance degradation. It’s the best document lifecycle management solution we have seen in years.”

Using Litéra® Launchpad, organizations can enable users to easily launch applications to compare complex compound documents, PowerPoint decks and spreadsheets. They can also control PDF documents, extract from and print to a PDF, and cleanse metadata from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents, and from Webmail and Blackberry emails.

Litéra® products that can be launched from the Litéra® Launchpad include:

Litéra Change-Pro® – for WORD, PowerPoint and PDF document comparison
Litéra Change-Pro® for Excel – for Excel spreadsheet comparison
Litéra LDF® – for PDF control and management

Litéra Metadact® – for metadata cleaning
Litéra Screen Capture Suite – for on the fly documentation of online presentations

“Today’s organizations want to increase user productivity without adding additional complexity or IT staff burden,” said Deepak Massand, CEO of Litéra. “That was the inspiration behind the development of Litéra Launchpad. This first-of-its-kind product helps to eliminate software conflicts and upgrade issues that can erode value and cause user downtime. As a result, users are productive on day one without any added IT intervention, management time or resources.”
