New CV Office We've Moved! Our continued growth and the need to add staff required more room. Our new facility is a modern office building located at 8849 Brookside Ave, West Chester, Ohio 45069. In addition to more square footage, the new office has new network wiring, redundant power, a dedicated reception area, a conference room and a customer service call center area.

We've also added some staff, purchased a new phone system and performed some network infrastructure upgrades to better serve our clients.

Our phone numbers haven't changed so you shouldn't have any difficulty contacting us by phone. If you wish to fax something, we recommend using 513-898-8991 for the next couple of days until our existing fax number (513-737-5813) is ported to the new office. This should occur by Saturday, Nov. 22nd.

None of this would be possible without the support of our clients and their faith in our ability to provide the very best in court research at the best possible price.

We are pleased to announce that system-to-system integration has been completed and is now live. Convergence Research clients utilizing the ClearStar system can now send and receive screenings to the nationwide CV Researcher Network without having to double-enter subject information. This will dramatically improve client turnaround times, reduce data entry errors and substantially improve communications.

To get started, simply contact us by phone or email to get our supplier ids. If you would like to find out more about ClearStar, you can visit their website at www.clearstar.net

New Functionality for Researchers and Clients

As Convergence clients already know, we are always looking to improve our customer service and make sure you are never guessing as to the status of your screening requests. To better further this goal, we've released a new customer service feature to help keep you 'in the loop'. The new feature has benefits for both clients and researchers.

Whenever a client requests an update or a screening ages beyond a certain period, an update request will automatically be generated and sent to the researcher assigned to complete the screening.

The researcher can click on the link in the mail or use the UPDATES tab to immediately let the client know where the screening is, if any additional information is required and when to expect the results. This process is very easy to use and is designed to be as fast as possible with minimal interaction on the part of the researcher. When the researcher clicks 'Send Update', the screening status update is then sent back to the client.

Even if a client hasn't requested an update or the screening isn't overdue, researchers can use the UPDATES tab to send an update. There is no limit to amount of updates and researchers can view past updates they've sent.

By using this feature, researchers and clients can save time, fax paper and phone calls.

We are pleased to announce system-to-system integration with AccioData. Now, customers on the AccioData platform can seamlessly exchange information with Convergence Research for both requests and results without having double-enter information. This reduces turnaround-times and improves the quality of your results.

The following reports are available:

• Criminal County Searches - All US jurisdictions
• Criminal State Searches - Where applicable
• Civil Court Upper Searches - All US jurisdictions
• Civil Court Lower Searches - All US jurisdictions
• QuickPast™ Nationwide Database Search

We've heard your suggestions and modified our application to better meet your needs. We would like to thank everyone who completed the survey. We always welcome your feedback and hope you continue giving it.

Researchers can now manage their account from within the Convergence Researcher Portal. To manage, simply click the 'View My Account' link in the upper right-hand portion of your browser. You no longer need to call us if you need to change account information.
