Customers will see enhanced efficiencies in matter creation, automated document creation and client portal applications
July 24th, 2019 – Neota Logic, creator of the world’s leading no-code AI automation platform, and Repstor, the leading content management solution, have announced an innovative integration between their two products for the legal sector, which will revolutionise the matter creation and document automation process, and enhance client portal applications. The combined solution will be delivered by partner Transform Data International.
Matter creation process
For matters registered in a law firm’s practice management system (PMS), the combined proposition will automatically initiate an email to the responsible lawyer performing a risk assessment for client or matter intake. Depending on the outcome, the workflow will either initiate the additional approval request or create the client/matter directly in Repstor’s legal matter management solution, Custodian for Legal™. Users can then start working on the new matter seamlessly within the familiar Outlook interface. The Neota workflow will automatically save the risk assessment transcript, saving the results as a PDF file within the client/matter.
Document automation
Users will now be able to open a new Neota application dialogue within Outlook where important information is passed from the Repstor solution to Neota Logic. This means users can easily create complex contracts or other legal documents and automatically insert properties such as DocID, ClientID, MatterID, etc. Documents can be generated automatically in multiple languages and stored in Repstor Custodian for Legal dossiers in one go.
Client portal applications
The integration of Repstor Custodian for Legal with Neota Logic will allow law firms to embed Neota applications in SharePoint. This will enable users to provide their clients with self-service tools, such as data-breach advisors, document creation or request forms to request assistance with a new case and perform an online triage.
Commenting on the collaboration, Kim Massana, Neota Logic’s CEO, said, “We are thrilled to be working with Repstor on this exciting integration of our technology platforms. We envisage many areas where our combined technologies could have a dramatic effect in increasing efficiencies for professional services.”
Alan McMillen, CEO at Repstor, added, “We’re delighted to be working with Neota Logic. There is perfect synergy between our solutions which, combined, will produce end-to-end workflows that further transform efficiency for our clients through smart process automation.”

It ensures collaboration can happen fluidly in the forums users prefer, but without undermining compliance with information management policy.

With improved mobile connectivity, and more convenient sized mobile devices, today’s information workers are doing a lot more with their business email on the go. But unless team members correctly file messages and attachments at the time, they are creating more work for themselves. When they get back to the office, they will need to remember to go back and find the content again so they can file it to the right repository.
Most mobile email applications are not integrated with content repositories, which means there is no way for workers to file the latest email threads or attachments when out of the office. Their best bet for sharing content with co-workers has been to forward messages, adding to email volumes and version complexity until now.
Repstor Mobile enables intuitive, accurate email and attachment filing from a mobile device – to SharePoint, M-Files, Box and other repositories of choice.

SharePoint Conference, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 22nd, 2019 – Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, has launched Repstor Mobile™, bringing easy, quick-file functionality to iOS and Android smartphone and tablet users from within their everyday mobile email tools.
Optimised for use with Outlook, but also available natively within standard iPhone/iPad and Android mobile email clients, Repstor Mobile makes filing emails and documents fast and instinctive from wherever users are. Mac and Outlook Web Access users can also benefit from Repstor Mobile quick-filing.
Repstor Mobile addresses a growing challenge for organisations whose workforces spend a lot of time out of the office, sending and responding to email on the move. It prompts mobile users to file emails to the right location as they open them. As well as being more convenient for individuals, this promises to boost filing compliance – a significant improvement on scenarios that rely on users remembering to re-open and file emails at the end of the day or when they return to the office.
Designed from the outset to support multiple content repositories, Repstor Mobile integrates with SharePoint, M-Files and Box, with the option to support other popular content platforms.
The powerful mobile filing aid can be used as a mobile companion product to Repstor affinity™, Repstor’s Outlook-based content filing and access solution, or as a standalone product.
“Repstor Mobile is a powerful and invaluable addition to the Repstor product family, transforming information management convenience and compliance as increasing numbers of us interact with email, and in soaring volumes, on the go,” commented Alan McMillen, Repstor’s CEO. “By providing secure, quick filing on any device, anywhere, Repstor Mobile is the solution organisations have been waiting for.”
Behind a very clean and quick user experience is a powerful and very flexible capture engine, to support the filing of emails at scale, he noted. “Behind the scenes, the modern Microsoft Azure architecture for email capture and filing is very, very fast. This avoids the common scenario with mobile email workarounds, which use folder mapping and create a big queue of emails to file.”
