New Release of Trial Director - Trial Presentation Software

Last week Indata came out with a new release of TrialDirector (version 5).  The outgoing version 4.5 became a standard for trial presentation and constantly goes head-to-head with Sanction for the "Best Trial Presentation Software" title.
 
The new version boasts an entirely new interface and breaks away from the old Deposition Director/Document Director combo by integrating the programs together.  Additionally the program adds extended coding features, improved integration with other programs and several new video editing capabilities. 
 
Rosen LTC will be testing the new version over the next few weeks to determine if it is stable, consistent and easy enough to use in the courtroom. They’ll be turning in a full featured review in the coming months. I’m a big fan of Sanction, but Alex Rosen is a big fan of Trial Director. I’ll be interested to see what he has to say about the new version.

We purchased Trial Director 9/06, but our attorneys are just now doing some hands-on work with the software. It seems to be difficult to use, with a huge learning curve. With a staff of 10, it appears to be a money pit. Any suggestions as to how to learn the software without spending any more money on training and/or hundreds of hours?

Richardson:

Much of what you mention will depend on how your firm is trying to use the product - and not just to say: at trial. i have found TD 5.1 very useful in pre-trial organization and with encouraging settlement based on the way I am able to organize my documents and code out the information. In trial, it is best to have someone assigned to the computer, but it is worth it to stay on top of the documents, tagging them, etc. Without knowing your situation with more particularity, it is difficult to address whatever issues you are having.
