Ozmosys - Aggregating Current Information

Law firm libraries frequently deliver newsletters and current awareness information via email. The information contained in these materials is specifically requested by attorneys, and tends to be quite important to their practice.

But as the number of email newsletters grows it can add to an inbox cluttered with a large volume of legitimate emails, as well as the inevitable spam. So valuable information may go unread.

Ozmosys, a content aggregator, can provide web content, subscription newsletters and selected results from third-party products like Lexis Trackers and Westlaw's Intraclips all in one email. The same content can be presented in a firm's intranet or portal.

The sample email below gives you an idea how the HTML version is formated:

Ozmosys' administrative tools make it easy to manage all these subscriptions, and allow changes to the content provided to the attorneys on an individual or group basis.

It's a very interesting concept, and sounds like a possible antidote to information overload.

If anyone has any experience with Ozmosys, please share with the rest of us!
