Legal and Professional Services

See how the SORCE intranet, Extranet or Portal can help legal and professional services increase their communication while streamlining business processes. Learn how SORCE can centralise your back office systems as well as providing powerful business ready applications.

In the professional services sector, arguably more than any other area of industry, time is quite literally money. Delivering effective communication while automating time consuming administrative tasks that fee earners are required to manage is incredibly important. The SORCE Intranet provides communication personalised to each individual within your organisation while helping you automate once manual processes.

Through powerful intranet applications such as Document Management, Event Manager and the Contacts Directory, policies, procedures, key dates as well as contact information can all be stored to be accessed by staff as and when they need it. The centralising of information in this way ensures that changes to content isn’t lost and with revision control an audit trail is maintained. With the powerful features of Document Management, you can ensure that key individuals read important time sensitive information.

Architects or Legal extranets can also help manage the communications with your third parties, major clients or partners, providing them with an outlet to share confidential information, securely.

The security of your content is built into the core of both the SORCE Intranet and Extranet products. Internet banking style three tier authentication comes as standard, backed up with the SORCE access control framework coded into the product itself. The access control framework insures that the users on your system only see what they are required to see. For intranets this ensures fee earners are only able to access documents related to their work and for extranets this ensures clients or third parties are only able to access information pertaining to their personal requirements. The externally facing extranet, security can be further tightened with 128 bit SSL encryption which encrypts data that is being accessed outside your organisation.

Communication can be further enhanced by using your intranet or extranet to integrate with your existing back office systems. The information contained within these systems can be provided to specific individuals as Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). Without spending money on licences for casual users of these systems, the information can be securely distributed to relevant individuals. Some of our professional services customers have even chosen to provide KPI information to their clients. Integrating their SORCE product to their case management system, they have produced a case tracking system which enables their clients to log in and view the status of the cases that they are working on.
