VISANOW Helps Tokyo Electron Leverage Technology to Enhance Immigration Process

Integrated IT platform and innovative reporting capabilities increase internal efficiencies around the delivery of legal services
CHICAGO Sept 26, 2007 – Leading immigration solutions provider VISANOW has provided Tokyo Electron (Tokyo Stock Exchange: TEL) with the benefits of a technology driven service model for legal services, a profession traditionally resistant to the adoption of technology.  Faster responses, increased access to information, and unprecedented reporting capability through VISANOW’s immigration services delivery model have better equipped Tokyo Electron’s corporate HR and legal departments to meet today’s productivity demands.

After reviewing the internal U.S. immigration process for Tokyo Electron, a Japanese supplier of semiconductor and FPD production equipment worldwide, Buck Hollister, Corporate Counsel for Tokyo Electron, saw a number of opportunities to consolidate and simplify the company’s process with a technology-based solution.  “We needed a provider that could move quickly and respond to high priority situations, capitalizing on the efficiencies of technology without sacrificing the legal expertise we needed, especially for the more difficult and comprehensive immigration applications.”

Added Hollister: “VISANOW’s solution is based on an integrated IT platform that allows all impacted parties – the HR representative, hiring manager, applicant and legal advisor – to access their own data throughout the immigration process.  With VISANOW, we experienced a significant reduction in the administrative burden and the elimination of many typical communication hold-ups associated with the traditional model of providing immigration services.”

“By integrating technology into the core practice of law, the legal profession can fundamentally change the way legal services are delivered,” said Robert Meltzer, CEO of VISANOW.  “Client-driven momentum is building for legal services providers who innovatively use technology to speed processes and meet the productivity demands required in today’s global working environment.”

Technology also allows for accurate, timely metrics on cost of services, performance and other aspects of case management.  “Having quantification and reporting capabilities within the legal services field definitely sheds light on areas previously left in the dark” says Hollister.  “We now have snapshots of activity and satisfaction levels across our internal divisions that increase  transparency into our service delivery.  This also adds a new level of accountability for the service provider and holds them accountable for their performance”.
