MasterFile's new hosted service eliminates in-house IT costs and gives smaller legal practices advanced case analysis, evidence and document management for less than $2 a day

Vancouver, BC, February 4, 2010 – MasterFile Software today announced its new hosted service -- the perfect, affordable solution for small legal practices who need integrated case analysis, an evidence repository, document management and an e-discovery platform without requiring IT staff or managing servers.

"With MasterFile Hosted Services (MFHS), small organizations can take advantage of MasterFile's novel all-in-one litigation support, case analysis and document management system without concern for running an in-house server," said Zainul Ebrahim, Vice President of Business Development at MasterFile. "At just $2 per day per user, less than a cup of coffee, and no per case or evidence loading fees, MFHS has the best price/performance in the industry and puts the smaller practice on par with larger firms."

MasterFile Hosted Services gives the lawyer or litigator the following clear benefits over SaaS systems:

* MasterFile is used all day, every day, for all document needs whether related to litigation, corporate or family law -- unlike SaaS applications which are designed primarily for large scale litigation.

* No per case hosting fees, matter setup or data loading costs
Users can set-up any number of cases or matters with one click and load case documents and e-mail themselves using MasterFile's Express Load. No document or e-mail data sets need to be sent to SaaS providers – whose fees can easily run hundreds of dollars per gb.

* Flexibility: Mix and match MFHS with your own MasterFile servers as needed
Unlike SaaS, MasterFile users have flexibility to decide, on a matter by matter basis, what to keep on their in-house MasterFile servers and what to host with MFHS, while continuing to use MasterFile without noticing any difference. It's that simple.

* Mobility: Full functionality off-line or on-line
"Since MasterFile keeps all case material in one place and looks and functions exactly the same on-line or off-line, users can work wherever they are -- even on a plane -- a task impossible with any web based solution," said Ebrahim. "When back on-line, they synchronize everything in all their cases via a secure, encrypted channel with one click."

* Archiving: Move old/dormant cases onto your own computers
Since archival in MasterFile means live, review any archived case at any time! If a case is re-activated, simply restore it to MFHS with one click. Users are not faced with significant monthly on-line costs for cases no one accesses anymore.
