Baker & Daniels LLP, Bromberg & Sunstein LLP, Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd. and Nixon Peabody LLP are to be recognized during the 2008 ILTA conference

ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2008--Omtool, Ltd. (OTCBB:OMTL), a leading provider of document capture and handling solutions, today announced the winners of their 2008 Drive for Innovation Award for the legal market. This premier award will be presented to Omtool's legal customers who leverage their AccuRoute(R) document capture and handling solution to achieve successful results in the areas of content accessibility, technology integration, streamlined workflows, corporate governance, and cost savings, among others. Winners of this year's Drive for Innovation Award for the legal market include Baker & Daniels LLP, Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd., and Nixon Peabody LLP. The grand prize goes to Bromberg & Sunstein LLP for their clear vision of implementing a comprehensive paper-to-digital document routing solution.

Bromberg & Sunstein LLP built corporate governance policies and procedures around AccuRoute, encouraging firm-wide usage while demonstrating ample return on their investment. Their adoption of AccuRoute helped to automate document workflows that included:

-- Digitizing every piece of client-related paper entering and leaving their firm including incoming mail and faxes

-- Establishing an electronic file through Interwoven's WorkSite repository

-- Creating searchable PDFs of all necessary files

-- Supporting e-filing requirements

-- Managing intellectual-property specific communications through docketing processes

"In addition to increasing productivity across a variety of operations, we have the insurance provided by electronic versions of paper documents in the event of a disaster," said Monroe Horn, CTO, Bromberg & Sunstein LLP. "Our paper is now fireproof, waterproof, and replicated. Both firm management and the IT staff sleep better knowing this."

"It was gratifying to see the innovations in document capture and handling that these firms are initiating using Omtool's AccuRoute solution," said Don Holland, partner, HSV Consulting Group. "These firms have seen the advantages of using their technology infrastructure to streamline their document lifecycle and making their employees' jobs easier and more productive. I was very pleased to see that more than one firm considered the "green" implications of document capture through AccuRoute."

The adoption of AccuRoute has traditionally been considered a great enhancer of productivity while eliminating costs associated with moving documents such as printing, copying, courier costs, overnight mail charges, etc. Now, consistent with the move many large companies are making, the green considerations of reducing paper are becoming a priority. One firm noted, "From a Green Computing standpoint, rather than making multiple copies of a hard copy document, users can now either review the electronic version from their PC or print the specific page they need to review. This saves the firm money from a paper perspective and is in compliance with the firm's Green Initiative."

Deployed in more than 250 law firms, including about half of the top 100 US firms, Omtool is proud to distinguish these customers who best use AccuRoute's document capture and handling features in the legal profession. All of the firms who entered this awards program will be recognized today at an awards breakfast during the annual ILTA conference. The top winners will be awarded their own "2008 Drive for Innovation Award" trophy and associated public promotions. The first place award recipient, Bromberg & Sunstein LLP, will also receive $25,000 in cooperative marketing from Omtool. Receiving honorable mentions are Burnham Brown, Heller Ehrman LLP, Husch Blackwell Sanders LLP, Lawrence Graham LLP, Spilman Thomas & Battle, PLLC, Stikeman Elliott LLP, and WolfBlock LLP.

The winners were chosen through a blind review process by a panel of industry experts that included Neil Araujo, vice president of professional services industry solutions marketing with Interwoven, Bernard Chester, principal with IMERGE Consulting, Dave Cunningham, managing director with Baker Robbins & Company Technology Consultants, Randy Dazo, director of document solutions with InfoTrends, Jason Doris, WW partner development manager with Hewlett-Packard, Don Holland, partner with HSV Consulting Group, and Robert Zacharski, president of Data Minds.
