BarAlliance a Division of LegalSpan, Inc. announces Hawaii State Bar deployment of the BarAlliance Framework for member interaction management

AUSTIN, TX – BarAlliance a Division of LegalSpan, Inc. today announced that The Hawaii State Bar Association deployed the BarAlliance Framework to manage all their attorney member interactions.

“As a 6800 member association, we are challenged to move forward with cutting edge technology to serve our members while at the same time maintain costs,” said Lyn Flanigan, Executive Director of the Hawaii State Bar Association. “BarAlliance is a system we absolutely could not afford to develop and maintain as a stand-alone entity, but it is developed for us. We are amazed on a daily basis how well it fits our needs and we look forward to full implementation of the system.”

BarAlliance - A New Paradigm In Bar Management was developed out of the need to manage the ever increasing amount of data created in disparate systems within the bar. The completely integrated system enables bars to dramatically extend and enhance administrative, member interaction and IT-related functions, while greatly expanding their ability to attract and support the individual members that they serve.

“Working with Hawaii has been a great experience both personally and professionally. Throughout the installation process, it is always an amazing feeling to see the BarAlliance Framework successfully meet the needs of an association; be it seeing the positive reactions of the staff when training or making data connections between the association system to the BarAlliance system. I would like to thank Tony Kitchen for his dedication to the project and especially Lyn Flanigan for seeing and helping shape the vision of a unified system. Welcome to the BarAlliance family!” said Sean Leung Director of BarAlliance.

"It's very exciting to see the BarAlliance Consortium’s continuous development. We are excited about the Hawaii State Bar Association joining the Consortium. We are looking forward to realizing the benefits of joining bars together to share a platform and best practices on how to operate a bar association. Welcome aboard Hawaii!" said Toby Brown Director BarAlliance Consortium.

Using the BarAlliance Framework system, Associations are able to purchase subscriptions to only those modules that are needed to manage their member interactions. Best of all it is developed and hosted by Legalspan, a name known and trusted in the legal community hosting online CLE to over 95% of the State Bar Associations in the U.S.
