Digital transformation of the legal function has never been more urgent

As legal teams adapt to the ‘New Normal’, the urgency around digital transformation of everyday processes is starker than ever.

In particular there is now a heightened need for dispersed teams to be able to collaborate productively and efficiently from home – using tools they already have. It’s why we are seeing so many legal professionals embrace platforms like Microsoft 365 – including MS Teams and MS Planner – more broadly. It’s proving the ideal means to collectively organise and process matters in a secure and managed way.

We know this is happening, because of the very high levels of interest in our current bite-sized webinar series. Each week, our CTO Fergus Wilson provides practical tips on using Teams to maximum effect for remote collaboration during the ongoing lockdown. (A recent session addressing a common question from legal teams can be played back here.)

Introducing Panoram: our exciting new legal digital transformation partner

In the current state of market upheaval, the announcement of Repstor’s partnership with Panoram – an exciting new legal digital services start-up – could not be timelier.

Panoram is a brand new legal transformation specialist, which has deliberately brought forward its business launch during the Covid-19 lockdown, in response to the growing sense of urgency around digital transformation in the sector.

Poignantly, Panoram shares Repstor’s belief that harnessing existing technology investments is the surest way to adapting to the current climate with enhanced content management & collaboration; to enabling new digital ways of working immediately, and without disruption to everyday activity.

It’s why Repstor was the obvious technology partner for matter lifecycle management. Panoram will recommend and implement Repstor Custodian for Legal™ as its default matter management offering, linked to Microsoft 365 (the Office 365 subscription service). Custodian for Legal is ideal for corporate legal departments and law firms anxious to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, because it builds on a software investment many legal teams have already made. It’s no coincidence that the software has become a firm favourite for transforming matter-related document and email management, as well as legal matter-based collaboration.

A meeting of minds: legal visionaries & technology heavyweights

Panoram’s founders are respected experts in legal technology and legal practice. They include Rick Seabrook, a digital transformation leader and formerly a Partner at Accenture. He believes strongly that law firms and in-house legal teams have no choice but to embrace digital technologies and new delivery models if they want to survive, and stay relevant and agile.

Another co-founder Greg Wildisen, is a technology visionary who, before Panoram, co-launched the European arm of AI automation software company Neota Logic with Rick. And Martin Bonney, one of the world’s leading eDiscovery managed services experts, brings over 25 years’ experience gained in ‘magic circle’ law firms, eDiscovery service providers, and global consulting organisations.

At Repstor, we’re delighted at this obvious, timely and powerful match. Panoram offers a unique combination of law firm heritage, deep digital/technology expertise, and independence (because the company isn’t owned by an IT vendor or a law firm). Together, our two companies offer something very special – which this market is clearly hungering for.

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.

Transform Data to expand distribution of Repstor ECM product suite to DACH region after its own success in Benelux & the Nordics

Strong demand for exploiting existing Office 365/SharePoint investments for effective case management bodes well for new channel partnerships across the German-speaking markets

Belfast, October 2nd , 2017 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Office 365 investments, has announced plans to expand sales of its content and case management solutions to the German-speaking countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the so-called DACH region).
Repstor’s strategic partner for mainland Europe, Transform Data, will be responsible for establishing new channel partnerships in the region. The move follows strong sales across Benelux and the Nordics, particularly in the legal sector, fulfilled by the Dutch company.

European clients including Strukton, Boels Zanders, ForFarmers, Morris Law and Haldor Topsoe have been snapping up Repstor’s solutions, which in the legal sector harness organisations’ existing investments in everyday Microsoft office platforms, to deliver powerful case and matter lifecycle management.

Transform Data, which specialises in legal enterprise content management (ECM) solutions and distributes and builds Repstor’s legal solutions such as custodian, in target European markets, has been successfully implementing Repstor’s product suite in Benelux and the Nordics for the last three years, achieving significant success with law firms and in-house corporate legal teams.
In common with Repstor, its mission is to help customers improve productivity and deliver transformation using existing systems they have bought.

Commenting on the European expansion plan, Alan McMillen, Repstor’s CEO, said, “Broadening into the German-speaking DACH countries is a logical and exciting move given the impact Transform Data has had with our legal solutions in the Benelux and Nordic regions. The pressures and demands around ECM are the same wherever you go in the world, so the wider opportunity is substantial, and Transform Data is the perfect distribution partner to help us capitalise on these additional markets.

“What’s great about our partnership with Transform Data is that the company was founded on the same ethos as ours – to encourage customers to build on the software investments they’ve already made, instead of starting again for every new thing they want to do. With added controls and usability, Office 365 and SharePoint are the obvious foundation for content management, and our products are proven in this context. Transform Data understands and has first-hand experience of this, so who better to build new channels for us?”

René Beulen, responsible for partner management at Transform Data added, “We’re delighted to have this chance to take Repstor’s products to the DACH region and appoint new partners there. We feel privileged to have been entrusted with this opportunity, and we can’t wait to take this forward. With demand as high as it is for solid, practical and user-friendly ECM case management, we all have much to gain from this strategic expansion.”

About Transform Data
Transform Data helps businesses optimise their workforce productivity through the implementation of ECM, Mobility and Cloud solutions.
Many organisations across Europe rely on Transform Data to solve their information management challenges whether to support decision-making processes or by automating day-to-day operations that rely on accurate data.

Repstor encourages a Microsoft approach to Matter Management at the British Legal Technology Forum 2016

Repstor is exhibiting at the ‘British Legal Technology Forum 2016’ at the Old Billingsgate, London on Tuesday, 8th March 2016…

London, 7 March 2016

Repstor, ECM adoption and Matter Management specialist, is proud to announce it is exhibiting at the ‘British Legal Technology Forum 2016’ at the Old Billingsgate, London on Tuesday, 8th March 2016.

With over 1,200 visitors from the world of law and legal technology expected to attend the 2016 event, The British Legal Technology Forum will bring together the most respected professionals from both the legal and commercial technology sectors to examine and explore the systems, strategies, processes and platforms that will drive law firms and legal businesses into the next decade and beyond.

Repstor will be showcasing its “custodian for legal” product which enables firms to maximize their Microsoft investment to provide Legal Matter Management.

Legal professionals will confirm that email is still their primary communication tool and that they need an intuitive solution to manage emails as part of a matter.  custodian is this solution – it enables users to manage matter related emails and documents together, avoiding the issue of isolated email content and applying consistent structures for managing matter based content. By utilizing the powerful and familiar interface of Microsoft® Outlook® custodian ensures the highest level of user-adoption and minimizes the need for migrating complex and costly legacy systems.

Repstor custodian extends Office 365TM/SharePoint®, to deliver a complete matter management solution by providing matter-centric collaboration, document and email management capabilities directly within Office 365/SharePoint. Most importantly, this capability is provided seamlessly within Outlook. Users can also work on or offline and access content from multiple different sources in addition to the matter management system.

custodian also allows firms to ensure that they maximize investments in Microsoft technologies, and can take advantage of the broader Microsoft platform including analytics, compliance, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and so on.

Alan McMillen from Repstor will be speaking on the demonstration stage at 10:25. Alan will discuss how to achieve high performance remote access to your DMS (Document Management System) and use your Microsoft investment to deliver enhanced Matter Management.

Natural Resources Wales – A Repstor Success Story

Natural Resources Wales benefits from easy filing, better collaboration and compliance in Microsoft Office 365 with Repstor affinity.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the largest Welsh Government Sponsored Body – employing 1,900 staff across Wales with a budget of £180 million. It was formed in April 2013, largely taking over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Forestry Commission Wales and the Environment Agency in Wales, as well as certain Welsh Government functions.

As a new organisation one of the first tasks that faced Natural Resources Wales was to unite the various government agencies and functions which now formed part of their organisation. Bringing together 1900 staff from a number of different government agencies and functions across a range of locations and with many different policies, existing EDRM Systems and File Shares posed a challenge. It was important to NRW that its business solutions would meet regulatory and compliance requirements for records keeping and encourage collaboration and joined up working across the new organisation.

Challenge

The Management of email as part of formal records management
User Adoption
Seamless integration with Office 365 deployment
Filing & Retrieval

Solution

NRW produced a set of requirements for an email solution and followed the G-Cloud procurement process. NRW selected to deploy Repstor across the organization.
The installation was completely standard, users were able to connect to the appropriate content on the Office 365 system and start working immediately.

Results

User Adoption: all users can quickly and easily find, and file content through the familiar Outlook client without any need for training on new UI’s.
Compliance: users can now more easily comply with NRW records policies.
Increased Productivity: users now file email content as it is generated and individual users have extremely fast access to their content wherever they work, on or offline.
Accuracy of Information: Users now have confidence that all of the latest and relevant information is available to them as early as possible
Easy filing: filing time has been significantly reduced

“Repstor affinity is a key part of our Office 365 deployment. Its quick deployment and ease of use has meant that users have adopted the system without the need for any special training enabling us to seamlessly bring users on board, focusing on ensuring that our policies are effectively implemented.
The ease of use particularly around filing and retrieval has been an essential part of rolling out this project without the need for a large change management effort on our part around the use of the software,” Debra Jones, Project Manager, NRW.

Natural Resources Wales benefits from easy filing, better collaboration and compliance in Office 365 with Repstor affinity

NRW has deployed Repstor affinity to enable users across their Office 365 deployment to meet regulatory needs…

London, 15 December 2015

Leading ECM Adoption specialist, Repstor, today announced that Natural Resources Wales, has deployed Repstor affinity, to enable users across their widely dispersed Office 365 deployment to meet regulatory needs for records management and compliance.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the largest Welsh Government Sponsored Body – employing 1,900 staff across Wales with a budget of £180 million. It was formed in April 2013, largely taking over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Forestry Commission Wales and the Environment Agency in Wales, as well as certain Welsh Government functions.

One of the key commitments for NRW, and in keeping with Central Government strategies, was to deliver secure, accessible, effective, easy to use, online services to its customers.  Where possible, and appropriate, NRW has committed to using cloud services, existing solutions and shared services. Office 365TM is at the heart of NRW’s strategy and was chosen as it would support the early days of the new organisation by providing cost effective browser based functionality to staff, who at that time were operating on three separate systems. The core functionality at that time was email, intranet and document management.

In selecting Office 365 NRW knew that it wouldn’t meet all of their business needs and that additional tools would be required. One requirement was to support the management of email content as part of formal records management. User adoption of any new system was a critical factor. Staff were facing significant changes and it was important that any new tools could be deployed with minimum impact.

Over a four month period, NRW completed a comprehensive review of products available under the G-Cloud programme that could potentially allow this requirement to be met with Office 365. This resulted in the selection of Repstor affinity and its rapid roll out to all users of the NRW Office 365 system.

The NRW G-Cloud procurement included comprehensive presentations and demonstrations of the products alongside subsequent evaluation of the software on the Natural Resources Wales Office 365 system.  Repstor affinity was chosen because when the extensive evaluation was completed the product was seen to provide the best value for money including providing everything that was needed to meet all of the functional and non-functional requirements in the most effective manner. Critical to this was the depth of integration with Outlook for ease of use, adoption and configurability of the product to meet the very specific requirements without any customisation.

“Repstor affinity is a key part of our Office 365 deployment. Its quick deployment and ease of use has meant that users have adopted the system without the need for any special training enabling us to seamlessly bring users on board, focusing on ensuring that our policies are effectively implemented,” Debra Jones, Project Manager, Natural Resources Wales.

“The ease of use particularly around filing and retrieval of content has been an essential part of rolling out this project without the need for a large change management effort on our part around the use of the software,” adds Debra.

Repstor products were seen as being the best performing, most tightly integrated and most feature rich option while being the easiest for users to adopt, meaning that users are more productive and are able to take advantage of the software with zero training requirements.

Repstor awarded place on the G-Cloud 7 services agreement by Crown Commercial Service

Repstor, is pleased to announce it has once again secured its position as a supplier to the UK public sector by being awarded a place on the G-Cloud 7 agreement

London, 2 December 2015

Crown Commerical Services

Leading ECM adoption specialist, Repstor, is pleased to announce it has once again secured its position as a supplier to the UK public sector by being awarded a place on the G-Cloud 7 agreement for the supply of Software as a Service (SaaS) and Specialist Cloud Services (SCS) by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).

Repstor is delighted that it has been awarded a place on the latest Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud programme, G-Cloud 7. This means that all G-Cloud customers will continue to have access to Repstor Software as a Service and Specialist Cloud Services offerings via the G-Cloud online store, the Digital Marketplace. These offerings have been expanded to include more products from the Repstor product line including the Repstor affinity, assist, custodian and CRM Link products.

The G-Cloud 7 agreement supports the Government’s policy to centrally manage the procurement of common goods and services through an integrated commercial function at the heart of government. The agreement can be used by organisations across the UK public sector including central government, local government, health, education, devolved administrations, emergency services, defence and not-for-profit organisations.

Repstor helps government organisations successfully deploy ECM (Enterprise Content Management) systems by inspiring user adoption. We create products that users will adopt by making them intuitive and familiar. The Repstor flagship products, affinity and assist provide uninterrupted access to content from systems such as Microsoft® SharePoint®, HP Records Manager 8/TRIM®, Meridio® and File Shares through the familiar, intuitive interface of Microsoft Outlook®.

Repstor’s products and services enable users to continue with their preferred way of working while easily managing their information from Outlook hence ensuring content is filed correctly in the ECM systems that control policy and security. This avoids much of the change control, training and policy enforcement required where tools are new, unfamiliar, often perform poorly and are too complex for the general end user.

Repstor products currently available as part of the G-Cloud7 programme include:

  • Repstor affinityTM provides uninterrupted access to content repositories within the familiar interface of Microsoft® Outlook®. Repositories like Microsoft SharePoint®, HP Records Manager 8/TRIM®, Meridio® and File Shares can be accessed seamlessly from within Outlook.
  • Repstor assistTM provides additional filing capability that keeps the filed content fully available while on or offline. It provides assisted filing to users by taking best practice filing and using this to suggest the most suitable location for new content.
  • Repstor custodianTM turns Microsoft SharePoint into an effective case document management system to help organisations gain rapid ROI from SharePoint and Office 365TM investments.
  • Repstor CRM Link provides users with a secure and fast link to Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint (or other ECM Systems) from within Microsoft Outlook.

By providing intuitive access to Office 365 and other content systems from Microsoft Outlook, Repstor helps organisations manage their content easily and to successfully deploy ECM systems by providing the tools needed to ensure their users adopt these systems.

The UK Government G-Cloud Programme is an initiative targeted at easing procurement by public-sector bodies in departments of the United Kingdom Government of commodity information technology services that use cloud computing. The G-Cloud consists of:

  • A series of framework agreements with suppliers, from which public sector organisations can buy services without needing to run a full tender or competition procurement process
  • An online store – the “Digital Marketplace” (previously “CloudStore”) that allows public sector bodies to search for services that are covered by the G-Cloud frameworks

G-Cloud covers the processes of buying, managing and using cloud services and provides Public Sector Bodies with a range of the best industry IT services and solutions available off-the-shelf for use when they need them.

Alan McMillen, CEO Repstor“Being awarded this place on the G-Cloud 7 agreement further confirms Repstor’s position as a leading SME supplier of Cloud services to the UK Public Sector. As part of the G-Cloud 7 agreement we have extended the range of products and services we are offering on the Digital Marketplace online store and are excited to be part of the G-Cloud 7 programme delivering great value cloud based products and services to Public Sector Bodies,”                   Alan McMillen, CEO, Repstor.

Repstor affinity 3.0 – the Content Management tool for Microsoft 365 introduces Windows Explorer integration with Repstor drive

Repstor is pleased to announce the launch of the latest version of its Outlook content management tool Repstor affinity 3.0.

London, 4 August 2015

Repstor, the leading ECM adoption specialist, is pleased to announce the launch of the latest version of its Outlook content management tool Repstor affinityTM 3.0.

Microsoft® Outlook® is familiar to most as their email client. It is simple and easy to use. For many people it’s the first thing they open when they arrive in work, and the last thing closed before home time. They use it to collaborate with colleagues and customers.  Since we spend so much time in Outlook, wouldn’t it be ideal if all of the things we need for day-to-day work were accessible there?

Using Repstor affinity 3.0 makes this possible. Users get seamless access to their content repositories both on and offline without leaving the Outlook interface, regardless of what document repository it is saved in, meaning they can collaborate easily with colleagues. With this release there is enhanced Microsoft Word®, Excel® and PowerPoint® integration. You can compare documents and convert documents to Adobe® PDF directly from affinity. Property support has also been improved. Repstor affinity 3.0 adds new repository support for HighQ Collaborate and Meridio®, ECM repositories along with the existing SharePoint®, OneDrive® and HP Records Manager/TRIM® support. Access to Repstor affinity folders and content is now also possible using the file system through the Repstor driveTM product. This enables users to save from any Windows Application directly into Repstor affinity.

CTO, Repstor“With 3.0, the affinity product further extends its deep integration with Microsoft 365 and other ECM repositories – providing access through the familiar interface of Microsoft Outlook without impacting Outlook’s stability or performance. We continue to deliver enterprise ECM user adoption by providing users with access to tools from where they prefer to do their work,” said Fergus Wilson, Repstor’s CTO.

Extending Repstor and Microsoft 365 Integration

The affinity 3.0 release delivers enhanced email and content management by providing deeper integration with Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint products. In affinity 3.0 Repstor has provided a new Compare Word Documents content menu which compares the contents of two affinity documents in Word. Users can also convert documents accessed from affinity to Adobe PDF directly from the Microsoft Word application. 3.0 also improves property support for managed metadata and user and group properties (allowing auto-complete for these property types both on and offline).

New Repstor Drive Module

Repstor focuses on giving users the choice to manage their content and access their documents via the application of their choice. With affinity 3.0 Repstor delivers a new Repstor driveTM module which enables users to access and save content via Windows® Explorer®. Users are able to save to Repstor affinity in the File->Save dialog, removing the need to move away from the source application in order to add a document to the organizations repository.

Improved Repository Support

Today Repstor affinity leads the ECM market with its extensive integration to multiple repositories. At every release of the affinity product Repstor aims to extend this support. Affinity 3.0 provides Outlook integration and support for the HighQ Collaborate product which is largely used as a collaboration tool for legal companies and also the Meridio ECM repository, providing users with the ability to store and access content in multiple repositories. Existing repository support has also been improved by providing property synchronization for HP TRIM® repositories.

Leading Law Firm, Mourant Ozannes, Selects Repstor ECM Adoption Software

Mourant Ozannes, one of the leading offshore law firms, has selected and is deploying Repstor affinity and assist to facilitate collaboration, sharing and easy filing of email and content into HP® Worksite®

London, 15 July 2015

Leading ECM Adoption specialist, Repstor, today announced that Mourant Ozannes, one of the leading offshore law firms, has selected and is deploying Repstor affinity and assist to facilitate collaboration, sharing and easy filing of email and content into its ECM platform HP® Worksite® for its Hong Kong office.

Mourant Ozannes is one of the leading offshore law firms, advising on the laws of the BVI, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey. Clients include many of the world’s leading financial institutions, public companies, corporations and fund promoters as well as high net worth private clients. The Hong Kong office services clients based in the Asia Pacific region by providing multi-jurisdictional offshore legal advice. The highly rated team consists of partners and senior lawyers with significant experience across the leading offshore jurisdictions. The lawyers in Hong Kong specialize in corporate, finance, investment funds, and international trust work as well as litigation and insolvency matters. This requires the accurate filing of email, matters and other legal content to customer folders so that the team is able to file, access, manage and collaborate around this content while remaining compliant.

HP® WorkSite® is used to store legal documents and other content and to support collaborative working in a compliant way. Mourant Ozannes had previously used HP FileSite® to facilitate filing email while sharing and accessing content from HP Worksite via Outlook. However this was negatively impacting the performance of Outlook which resulted in users being unable to perform crucial tasks. In particular the filing of email content to a large number of folders was extremely slow and cumbersome and there was no effective solution capability for users when working offline.

After looking at various alternatives Mourant Ozannes selected Repstor affinity and assist to replace HP FileSite, enabling email and other content to be quickly and easily filed into HP WorkSite. Repstor affinity was selected based on its ease of use, and true native integration with Microsoft Outlook and HP WorkSite. Functionality highlighted during the Proof of Concept included easy email filing and matter management, high performance and stability, support for search, ease of enterprise-wide deployment and offline working, with user feedback being excellent. Using Repstor affinity and assist, users could file email and other content quickly and easily into HP WorkSite. This could all be achieved without impacting Outlook’s performance.

Tony IMG_6961“Our existing remote office thin client model wasn’t performing to acceptable standards and we needed to make some radical changes to introduce improvement. We decided early on that we needed to move away from a thin client model yet try and retain the centralised Worksite document management system but this simply wasn’t possible until we became aware of Repstor’s products. Testing and piloting of the products has got the remote offices really excited because it has resolved many of the performance issues that they see. It has also provided a level of matter management, product integration, ease of use and performance that we could get nowhere else.  We are so impressed with the Repstor products, and their speed at turning around our feature suggestions, that there is every likelihood that we will roll them out to all remote locations throughout 2015/16,” Tony Le Lerre, Head of Information Services, Mourant Ozannes.

Mourant Ozannes wanted to provide their users with an effective and easily adopted Outlook application, ensuring email and matter filing into its HP WorkSite ECM system became quick and easy. This resulted in users sharing and accessing accurate, up-to-date information, hence improving team collaboration and productivity while meeting compliance needs.
