HighQ has announced it has become a technology partner with Intapp, the leading provider of integration and information security software for law firms. This strategic partnership sees two leaders in the legal software space join forces to offer two-way syncing between HighQ’s industry-leading file sharing and extranet platform and HP WorkSite using Intapp Integration Builder technology.

The out-of-the-box integration will enable two-way syncing and make it much easier to share documents with clients directly from WorkSite and get new versions back into the DMS in one seamless process.

Stuart Barr, COO at HighQ, explains: “We’re delighted to begin this exciting partnership with Intapp and to add significant value to our mutual clients. Two-way WorkSite sync is something that our clients have been asking for and we’re delighted to now be able to offer it. The fact that our clients who already have a full license for Integration Builder can use the template at no additional cost is also a huge bonus, as they’ll be getting a great deal more capability out of both systems. The WorkSite template is just the beginning and we plan to leverage Intapp’s comprehensive library of connectors and our extensive REST APIs to produce other integration templates in the future.”

This partnership will be beneficial to hundreds of law firms, says Barr: “More than 150 law firms worldwide use HighQ Collaborate as their client extranet and secure file sharing platform and over 300 law firms use Intapp Integration Builder, so this partnership has the potential to make life easier for hundreds of firms. We’re very excited to offer great value to HighQ’s and Intapp’s existing customers by expanding both of our technological ecosystems.”

“Adopting cloud services creates new challenges for law firms. Over the past five years, Intapp has worked with leading firms to integrate cloud applications with their existing on-premise software, information and business processes using Integration Builder,” said Mark Bilson, Vice President, Integration Practice, Intapp. “We’re excited to join forces with HighQ to make our shared customers successful in the cloud.”

For HighQ, this is the first step in a wider strategic partnership with Intapp, and the first of many integrations to come for the collaboration software provider. HighQ recently opened up its new REST API to developers, inviting them to build their own connectors for HighQ Collaborate. This paves the way for many more integrations and add-ons with HighQ’s software.

The new HighQ integration templates will be published in Integration Builder alongside the release of HighQ Collaborate 3.4 which will be made available later in Q1 2015, and will be available at no additional cost to existing Intapp customers who have a full Integration Builder license.

For those firms who would like to have two-way WorkSite sync with HighQ Collaborate but do not have an existing Intapp license, it is easy to get up and running quickly. Firms can either purchase a full Integration Builder license, which gives them access to Intapp’s entire library of templates, or they can license the cloud file sharing configuration of the product, which includes the HighQ template. The integration templates are between HighQ Collaborate and HP WorkSite initially, with templates for other systems such as Microsoft SharePoint and OpenText eDOCS to follow.
