Lawsoft Document Management Delivers For Blandly & Blandly
Leading Thames Valley firm Blandy & Blandy implemented Pilgrim’s market leading Practice Management System, LawSoft, in late 2006. From the outset Blandy & Blandy was committed to making full use of the broad functionality offered by LawSoft when replacing their legacy Axxia Arista system. Following on from the initial implementation of the finance, time recording and billing areas, the team proceeded to roll out Client Matter Inception workflows, Probate case management and an ambitious complete installation of LawSoft’s integrated Document Management and Assembly System.
Nick Burrows, Blandy & Blandy joint Managing Partner, explains “We were keen to exploit the efficiency and risk management gains afforded by the LawSoft Document Management and Assembly module. Our objective was to have all documents created and saved within LawSoft so that we could ensure consistency of content and presentation, which is difficult to achieve without a tool such as this. This, supplemented by our own in-house development skills, has allowed us to come up with an extremely powerful, flexible and easy to use document management and production solution which, I’m pleased to say, has more than matched our initial vision.”
Applications Manager, DBA & In House Trainer, Raheela Fernandes, adds “The LawSoft document assembly and workflow tools, along with my existing Visual Basic skills, have enabled me to build a system that now means close to 100% of the firm’s documents are created from LawSoft Quick Launch or from a LawSoft workflow. This method of document production has allowed for greater uniformity and consistency across the firm as well as better control over document creation. The accuracy and efficiency gains have been tremendous.”
Pilgrim’s Chief Operating Officer, Colin Kennedy, comments “Yet again we are seeing an example of how our innovative software enables our clients to maximise efficiency, ensure consistency and minimise risk. We are delighted that Blandy & Blandy have embraced the full capabilities of LawSoft and look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship.”
