Abstract: A method includes receiving an initial electronic file where the initial electronic file is associated with a work product. The method further includes resolving, automatically, an electronic file content type associated with the initial electronic file and executing, automatically, at least one subscription program associated with the electronic file content type of the initial electronic file. The method further includes retrieving an enhanced electronic file based on a matter security level. The enhanced electronic file is associated with an indication of completion of the at least one subscription program. Another embodiment includes extracting a set of metadata from the initial electronic file and storing the set of metadata from the initial electronic file in a memory. Yet another embodiment includes populating, automatically, at least one field within a field-oriented electronic file from the set of metadata.

Abstract: A method for using a messaging program across a multiple applications and communications environment includes engaging a multiple applications and communications environment. The multiple applications and communications environment comprises at least one primary application and at least one secondary application. The at least one primary application is associated with a primary work product object and the at least one secondary application is associated with a secondary work product object. The primary work product object and the secondary work product object are associated with a work product matter. The method further includes configuring a messaging program to establish a first chat instance within the primary work product object and a second chat instance within the secondary work product object. The first chat instance and the second chat instance are determined by a set of permissions related to the primary work product object.

Abstract: An electronic package is provided having a surface mount electronic device connected to a circuit board. The package includes a circuit board and a surface mount electronic device. A mounting pad is formed on the circuit board. A plurality of vias are formed each having an opening extending into the circuit board and extending through the mounting pad. The package further includes a solder joint connecting a contact terminal of the surface mount device to the mounting pad on the circuit board. The solder joint extends at least partially into the openings in each of the plurality of vias to support the arrangement of the surface mount device on the circuit board.
