Repstor to Exhibit and Speak at Europe’s Largest Law Expo – London Law Expo 2017

The company prepares to launch a new campaign to help Law Firms exploit Office 365 for Matter Management

September 29th, 2017 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Office 365 investments, has today announced that it is participating as an exhibitor and speaker at this year’s London Law Expo 2017.

This year’s event is being held at Old Billingsgate on October 10th and sees the amalgamation of the London Law Expo and the European Legal Security Forum. The event features 6 presentation stages, 70 expert speakers, 80 exhibitors and an estimated 2,000 visitors from the world of legal practice management, technology and IT security.

Repstor and strategic customer and partner, Eversheds Sutherland, join a line-up of world class speakers to present at 2PM on the Technology Hub stage. The talk entitled, ‘Exploiting Office 365 for Matter Management’, will be presented jointly by Eversheds Sutherland’s Graham Richardson and Repstor’s Sheila Gormley.

Repstor will launch its Office365 for Matter Management campaign featuring its new white paper ‘7 Indisputable Reasons to use Office 365 for Matter Management’. London Law Expo delegates are invited get their complimentary copy from stand A24 or download a PDF here.

CTO of Repstor Fergus Wilson added:

“Office 365 is an existing resource most firms have already invested in, and many of its capabilities are inherently superior to those of dedicated matter management systems. This is largely due to the huge investment Microsoft has made in Office 365, added to the vast ecosystem of Microsoft software partners which are enhancing Office 365 all the time with new, specialist features and integration options.”

Fergus continues, “Our latest campaign will help firms to make the case for selecting Office 365 for complete matter lifecycle management – a move that law firms ranging from large international practices like Eversheds Sutherland to challenger firms like gunnercooke have already made.”

New Repstor paper sets out ‘7 indisputable reasons to use Microsoft 365 as a matter management platform’

Reason 1: It’s where the investment is

September 27th , 2017 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Microsoft 365 investments, has published a new paper setting out ‘7 Indisputable reasons to use Microsoft 365 as a matter management platform’, challenging legal teams to look at the software they already have (and use every day) before exposing themselves to the expense and upheaval of deploying a dedicated document management system.

As all law firms and in-house corporate legal teams come under pressure to improve efficiency, measure productivity and collaborate more effectively, interest in systematic content management is rising sharply. But as the new Repstor paper makes clear, there is no need to invest in a dedicated, separate system for this when the vast majority of legal professionals already have established office systems they use routinely for sharing matter-related content.

Although, left unchecked, the popular practice of using email to distribute documents can be inefficient – and consume a lot of computer storage – this can be addressed easily using integrated Microsoft partner solutions which introduce new order and transparency to the way matter content is managed.

Reason 1 to default to Microsoft 365 (M365) for matter management, according to the paper, is the sheer momentum around the platform. M365 user numbers are expected to exceed 100 million by the end of 2017, propelled by heavy investment in the platform by Microsoft as well as its cloud partner ecosystem – estimated to be 10 times larger than Google’s. So it’s a robust platform for legal teams to align their routine processes with.

Other arguments include M365’s impressive feature set, made even richer by partner solutions such as Repstor custodian or ES/Unity which among other things add structure and workflow to email content filing. Then there’s the advanced management reporting, and the inherent security controls. And so on.

But probably the most obvious reason legal teams should centre their matter management on M365 is that it they have already invested in Microsoft technology – and, crucially, users are comfortable with it. As the paper makes clear, “By choosing to buy a distinct content management system for legal matters, firms are incurring unnecessary cost and complexity.”

“Microsoft 365 is an existing resource most firms have already invested in, and many of its capabilities are inherently superior to those of dedicated matter management systems. This is largely due to the huge investment Microsoft has made in Microsoft 365, added to the vast ecosystem of Microsoft software partners which are enhancing Microsoft 365 all the time with new, specialist features and integration options.”

Repstor Marks Business Growth and Expansion by taking up Residence at the Iconic Scottish Provident Building

Repstor moves offices to Belfast’s most prestigious location on Donegall Square and announces a doubling of revenues year on year

July 3rd, 2017 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Office 365 investments, is today celebrating its business growth and expansion with an office move to the Scottish Provident Building.

Considered the best location in Belfast city centre, the Donegall Square-located Scottish Provident Building is immediately adjacent to Belfast City Hall and mere steps away from all the best city centre establishments, restaurants, shops and transport links. Repstor will join other resident technology companies including aPriori, Blackduck Software, Unosquare and BDNA.

Repstor, which is approaching its financial year-end, has seen a doubling of revenues over the same period last year for the second year running. The surge reflects increasing demand from global and national brands, which are exploiting Repstor’s ECM adoption technologies to better exploit their investments in ECM platforms like Box, M-Files, OpenText, HP and particularly Office 365 and SharePoint. Further bolstering Repstor’s success are its case and matter management products which are being deployed by several Law firms and legal departments, most notably Eversheds Sutherland, gunnercooke, ForFarmers, Pentland Brands, Value Retail and Boels Zanders Advocaten.

Partnerships too have gone from strength to strength this year. In March the company announced a new partnership with international law firm, Eversheds Sutherland and together launched ES /Unity™ a new matter management solution powered by Repstor at the British Legal Technology Forum in London in March. Built exclusively for the Microsoft SharePoint/O365 platform and offering native integration into Microsoft Outlook, the software has been designed from the outset to be Cloud ready but also have the flexibility to be deployed on client’s own networks if required. Eversheds Sutherland Consulting will focus on project management and working with clients to maximise the business benefits of using legal matter management technology, with Repstor providing the technical software expertise.

Since its launch in March, ES /Unity has attracted global and national attention and its first customers will be announced in the coming weeks.
Among Repstor’s latest high-profile customer wins is a key UK Public sector organisation, a large scale Real Estate organisation, regulatory organisations in the US and EU, a specialist European Insurer and another of the Big 4 consultancies. Eversheds Sutherland, a top 40 Global law firm, deployed Repstor’s custodian for legal™ as its firm-wide matter management solution and German automotive supplier, Brose is also amongst Repstor’s latest new customer acquisitions.

CEO of Repstor Alan McMillen added:

‘We are delighted to have had another very positive year of growth. We have added new products to our suite, launched ES /Unity with Eversheds Sutherland, unveiled a new mobile content management platform and we’re expanding our partner programme. This move to the Scottish Provident building gives us the flexibility and growth to support our future plans and we look forward to welcoming our customers, partners and prospects to visit over the coming months.”

In addition to new customer acquisitions, Repstor has seen deepening technology adoption across existing customers. “Once they’ve seen the impact of our ECM adoption and case/matter management technologies, it’s very common for our clients to want to build on that success through additional ECM innovation,” Alan says. “Often an organisation will start off by incorporating our Outlook integration/Repstor affinity™ into their Office 365 or SharePoint platforms and, when they see the uplift in user interaction and adoption, they’re keen to push things to the next level, increase licences and add on complimentary technologies.”

Repstor Unveils New Mobile Content Management Suite

On-the-go filing will improve productivity, collaboration and compliance as nomadic information workers process email and documents outside the office

AIIM Forum 2017- June 21st, 2017 –Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Office 365 investments, today launched a new mobile content management suite providing improved continuity for information workers on the go.

By making it easier and more intuitive for nomadic employees to correctly file email and documents when out of the office, the new addition to Repstor’s content management suite will boost productivity, collaboration and compliance.

Based on Repstor’s content categorisation technology, assist™, the new mobile application gives information workers intelligent, accurate and intuitive email and document filing and categorisation on the go, from any device.
“If mobile knowledge work is to be more collaborative than just sending and receiving emails, we need to make it easier for users to file more efficiently on the go,” commented Repstor’s CTO, Fergus Wilson.

With improving high-speed mobile coverage, employees can now use their devices for much more than simply checking email when out of the office. “But this can play havoc with information management,” Fergus said. “Unless mobile activity is an extension of people’s desktop systems, or they engage in follow-up admin at some later time, there is a risk that emails and attachments will not be filed correctly – and it’s too easy to forget when back in the office.”

Crucially, users don’t have to open a second application or take special actions to file their emails or attachments from their mobiles: they can do this directly from within their usual mobile mail application.

“This offers a good safeguard against inconsistent filing,” Fergus explained. “Users can now do this correctly first time, wherever they are – without any fuss, and without interrupting what they’re doing.”

Repstor’s assisted filing capability can be used with a wide variety of popular content management and file sharing applications – such as SharePoint, HP CM, Box and even file shares.

The company has also introduced a mobile app for its custodian™ case management solution, designed specifically for legal professionals using Office 365 and SharePoint. This offers intuitive mobile access and browsing and filing of cases and legal matters on the go.

Repstor and Eversheds Sutherland Coverage in Credit Control Journal

Eversheds Sutherlands head of consulting, Graham Richardson has written a very informative piece for key industry publication Credit Control Journal in which he discusses how in-house legal teams are caught in an ever growing digital divide.

Graham says that in-house legal teams are increasingly being seen as key strategic advisers to business, but they are unable to optimise productivity and efficiency due to a lack of technological tools, which is leaving them straddling an ever widening digital divide, according to the Looking Glass report.

This digital divide, he explains is hobbling in-house legal teams. This has prompted international law firm Eversheds Sutherland to make use of its own digital transformation (DX) journey to assist legal professionals.
