McAllister Olivarius deploys Repstor technologies for flexible matter management

Belfast, December 18th , 2018Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, today announced that international law firm McAllister Olivarius has selected its affinity™ and assist™ solutions, to provide direct filing of case-related emails in SharePoint Online from Outlook.

The firm had migrated its office productivity, document management and collaboration tools to the cloud, adopting Microsoft SharePoint Online within Microsoft Office 365 (O365) as its new standardised application platform. However, McAllister Olivarius needed a way of organising and filing case related documents and emails.

This meant introducing a complete and reliable record of all correspondence, all retained in – and easily accessible from – a single central place. Repstor provides this platform and extends the powerful collaboration capabilities of Microsoft Office 365/SharePoint with a matter-centric collaboration and document management solution for legal matter management.

“Repstor has a very stable product which I can see becoming the de facto option for legal matter management in SharePoint Online,” explains Honza Cervenka, IT project manager, McAllister Olivarius. “The experience feels very familiar and intuitive to users, and the software is highly versatile. It’s also backed up by a great level of local support.”

An early trial confirmed that Repstor affinity and assist were a good fit, and supplemented SharePoint Online’s built-in browser interface well. The solution was deployed rapidly, thanks to Repstor’s specialist product consultants.

Next, the firm is due to trial Repstor’s mobile solution and Honza is enthusiastic about the potential for McAllister Olivarius team members to use Repstor’s email filing and access capabilities on the move: “As we are an international firm, our fee earners travel a lot, so having the ability to file case-related correspondence between locations will be invaluable in keeping our lawyers productive and in the loop,” adds Honza.

“We are delighted that another international law firm is benefitting from the flexibility, security and ease-of-use provided by Repstor,” comments Sheila Gormley, Global Head of Repstor’s Legal Solutions Division. “It further demonstrates how we are disrupting the market in legal matter management, allowing McAllister Olivarius to fully benefit from the wider suite of Microsoft’s cloud offerings.”

There’s No Stopping Repstor – Now in the Deloitte Top 10 for Rapid Growth Tech Firms

Belfast, November 12th, 2018 – Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, has seen its meteoric rise celebrated for the second consecutive year – this time with a top-10 ranking in the 2018 Deloitte Technology Fast 50. It entered the list for the first time last year, in 11th place.

The Deloitte Fast 50 awards, now in their 19th year, celebrate indigenous Irish technology companies that have demonstrated exceptional growth in turnover in the last four years. After doubling its turnover last year Belfast-based Repstor relocated to the iconic Scottish Provident Building to accommodate its rapidly-expanding team. In 2018 the business has continued to see its fortunes soar – in the UK and overseas.

Repstor’s intuitive and affordable software tools, affinity, assist and custodian, transform productivity and efficiency for knowledge workers. They make it easy and routine to manage case-related emails and content using Office 365 and popular file repositories like SharePoint, M-Files and OpenText. Its products have attracted particular interest from legal teams, project management organisations, HR departments and other organisations which need to keep track of complex cases, contracts and legal matters.

Congratulating this year’s winners, Peter Allen, a partner at Deloitte (NI) Ltd, commented: “These awards recognise Irish technology companies at the cutting edge – companies that are operating in an uncertain international marketplace. And yet they are prospering, and it was particularly evident this year that the vast majority of revenues for the ranking companies are coming from exports. This demonstrates the impact Irish indigenous tech companies are having in global markets.”

Commenting on Repstor’s no 10 ranking this year, Alan McMillen, Repstor’s CEO, said: “This is fantastic news, building on last year’s success and emphasising our continued growth in our chosen markets. We’ve had another phenomenal year, our recruitment initiatives are drawing some enviable talent, and we’re confident given the momentum we are seeing that we will be back again next year.”

Repstor’s matter management solution, custodian for legal™ continues to deliver substantial success too, with clients ranging from Miral and Client Earth to National Grid, Queen’s University Belfast and Wellcome Trust.

Repstor continues its recruitment drive. A full list of current job opportunities can be found here on the Repstor Careers Page .

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards took place in Dublin on 2 November 2018, hosted by science and technology journalist and founder of Whipsmart Media, Jonathan McCrea. The full rankings are available to download at www.fast50.ie.

Repstor affinity reduces Outlook PST storage & enhances SharePoint collaboration at global automotive supplier Brose

Brose is a large global automotive supplier. Its mechatronic systems for doors, seats or electric motors and drives can be found in every second new vehicle around the world today. The company, which is over a century old and is still family owned today, employs more than 26,000 people across 62 locations in 23 countries.

Brose depends on IT to enable dispersed global teams to collaborate on customer projects. It means it can field the right knowledge experts without any concerns about location. The company has 15,000 Microsoft Office users internationally, Exchange mailbox servers sited in Europe, Asia and North America, and a central SharePoint farm located in Germany.

Despite having central file shares and SharePoint collaboration portals, Brose’s project teams were defaulting to email to hold and retrieve project-related information and documents, in the form of Outlook personal folders (PST data files). A lot of time could be spent locating the latest version of content, and the over-reliance on PST files located on the local network was consuming a lot of expensive storage. Also, if users were unavailable or left the company, there was no easy way to get at the information held in their email folders.

CALA Homes was looking for a solution that would enable its users to share documents in a user-friendly and secure way. Custodian’s ease of configuration and automated SharePoint provisioning out of the box that made it an ideal choice for CALA Homes. Custodian also features a simple API capability, which made it straightforward to integrate the system with CALA Home’s existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for automated plot file creation.

CALA Homes was up and running very quickly with Custodian, which would not have been the case if the company had had to create and integrate a bespoke solution.

“The overriding benefit to the business, its teams and clients is efficiency, which comes from the consistency the software enables, and the rich user experience for email and document management,” explains Andy Murray, CALA Homes’ IT director.

Additional benefits include greater transparency on the location of documents and each stage in their process, as well as increased confidence that document storage and management complies with current and evolving data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Around 200 CALA Homes’ sales people are now using Custodian. The company plans to roll it out across the organisation in due course, following the enthusiastic take up it has had from users, together with its cost efficiency and performance capabilities.
