It's Showtime! TERIS enters Chicago Market; Expands new Dallas Office
 

ALC Large
 
  
If you visited the TERIS website recently, you may have noticed that we have two new office locations on the map: Chicago and Dallas. Each office has begun primarily as sales offices focused on eDiscovery and related electronic projects - which are being completed in our Austin facility.

The goal is to build each location into a full service facility, and this will be a methodical and logical process as our business grows in each. We're fortunate to have top-level talent in each location: John Stanton is our new RDES in Chicago, while Veronique Kinder and Randy White are RDES' in Dallas.

John StantonRegional Director of Electronic Sales, John Stanton, joins us at the new Chicago branch. Stanton has several years of experience developing and closing new eDiscovery and litigation technology opportunities while working for Ocè Business Services/Casedata in Chicago. While there, he was the top revenue producer in 2008 and 2009.

 
 
Randy White
joins TERIS in Dallas as a new Regional Director of Electronic Sales. Randy has been in the Litigation Support business for 11 years. During this time he has been heavily involved in all aspects of management, from sales to operations. His experience and knowledge of the industry provides Randy with the ability to better understand what clients need and help them achieve the best solutions. Randy takes pride in being a client advocate and always tries to do what is best for the client.

Phoenix
The 2009 American Bar Association Annual Conference was held in beautiful Chicago, IL. The ABA conference brought together attorneys, judges,paralegals and support staffers from across the country for a week of panel discussions, award ceremonies, and CLE programs. At the request of the ABA Judicial Division executive board, TERIS Phoenix sent team member Brandon Colburn to provide technology and video support for a variety of events.

From the State Trial Judges 50th Anniversary Luncheon and Award Ceremony in the Signature Room (95th floor of the John Hancock Building) to the dramatic "Clarence Darrow Judicial Perspective" program, the ABA Judicial Division provided high quality education and entertainment. 

Attendees of many programs were surprised and impressed their opinions were incorporated (via electronic voting systems) during both the ethics of judicial election program and the cross cultural issues in the courts program.
 
Special thanks to the Honorable Delissa Ridgway (US Court of International Trade) and the Honorable Barbara Lynn (US Federal Courts -Texas) for their dedication and support.
 
DVD copies of many ABA events are available from the organization.

Stay tuned for more new events programs and contests from TERIS in the coming year. And please be sure to let us know how we can improve our service!
 
Sincerely,
