Built in 1997 to sit on IBM FileNet, still running in regulated legal departments today. Now available on Azure with our own backend — and with Altien^AI reasoning on top of it.
Documents, contracts, email, tasks, dates, knowledge and reporting in one system, built specifically for corporate legal departments.
A flexible matter-centric model that can be configured for different legal practice areas, giving consistent classification and access to every related document: contracts, briefs, emails and other correspondence.
Automate matter and document-centric processes, from ad hoc tasks to complex, multi-party workflows, with notifications and reminders that keep work moving.
Inbound and outbound email filed into the right matter, automatically by rules on the server or by the user from inside Outlook.
Retrieve, add, check in and check out documents directly within Office. Templates can look up corporate information to speed up document creation.
Every document created in the legal department is captured and classified from the start of its lifecycle, so it is easy to find and manage, internally and with external parties.
Never miss a deadline. Capture key matter dates and automatically send reminders to every member of the matter team.
Pick out relevant clauses, manage contract dates, and report on special clauses and on company and client obligations.
Store and share internal best practice, research and outside work product, all in the same library.
Flexible reporting with no limits on taxonomy levels, field types or field numbers, plus workload analytics on active matters, load per person and how long matters stay open.
Previously, manual processes limited our understanding of the department’s total capacity, and of how the overall workload was distributed across each member of the team. Thanks to analytics tools built into the Altien solution, we can generate rich reports to see the number of active matters, how many matters each person is working on, how long they have been open and the date they were last accessed. These insights enabled us to identify ways to use our existing resources more effectively, which has helped us to boost the efficiency of the legal department. We can now manage the demands of a growing client base without increasing our use of outside counsel or our headcount – helping us to avoid additional costs.
Working with the Altien team was a very positive experience: Altien really took the time to understand the way our business works, and delivered a solution that fits perfectly with our day-to-day activities. The acid test of any new piece of software is how many people in the department embrace it, and in that respect the Altien solution has been a major success.
In the past, our legal teams would have to spend valuable time digging through shared folders and filing cabinets to retrieve the matter or legal documents they needed. That is all changing now. Using the Altien solution, our legal department can search all records via a single, secure interface, and get instant access to every document and matter that they have permission to see.
Migration is the service most of our clients buy first. Records, retention and audit history survive the move.
