Headquartered in Micronesia, with offices in Hawaii, Palau, Philippines, and Guam, Rock Islands Consulting and Software is a group of professionals with a wide range of information systems experience. The company specializes in system design, consulting, programming and development services. Past and present accounts encompass a broad range of subject matters including: record tracking, health care, government revenue, and tax accounting.

One of Rock Islands Consulting's clients publishes the Palau National Code Annotated as well as the Palau Supreme Court's decisions and Court Reporter. In the past, the client published the material in book form, sold on a subscription basis. Recently, the client has chosen to distribute the material on CD, as well as on the Web.

For this project, Rock Islands Consulting chose the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine, in the form of a dtSearch Publish and dtSearch Web combination pack. The idea was to mirror the same legal database on CD and on the Web. "We selected dtSearch because of its success in the industry and capabilities ranging from the Web to CD," said Walter G. Morton, CEO, Rock Islands Consulting.

Rock Island Consulting also liked the "user-friendliness and ease of setup" of dtSearch Publish and dtSearch Web from the perspective of the end-user. Indeed, Mr. Morton believes that the biggest benefit of their implementation will be to legal customers of Rock Island Consulting's client. "The real advantage is the ease with which the attorney, paralegal or clerk can search and access volumes of statutes and decisions."
