Olswang Selects iCompli to Reduce Operating Costs & Improve Efficiency

Posted by chris in Records WinRecords ManagementOlswangiCompli

Olswang LLP, today announce their selection of the iCompli records management suite, provided by Legal RM Ltd, risk and compliance specialists.

iCompli is a groundbreaking records management solution for professional services firms, which is available as a SaaS, no capital cost bundle, (including software, support, maintenance, implementation training and consultancy) negating the barriers often associated with enterprise software solutions.

The innovative iCompli model, along with its forward thinking development programme, were key in the selection process and allowed Olswang to take advantage of dramatic cost savings from day one. Sam Morley, Olswang's File Storage Manager, said "even at this early stage in our adoption of iCompli, we have reduced our file handling time by 70%".

Built from the ground up, iCompli has been developed to focus on core records management processes and compliance best practices. "Having assessed numerous records management offerings in the market, iCompli was by far the best fit with our ECM strategy, ensuring our ability to manage the full document lifecycle in conjunction with our document management system. Its flexible web design guaranteed immediate buy-in from our business users" commented Clive Knott, Olswang's IT Director.

iCompli offers a fully web based records management solution, with a single flexible interface for both records staff and lawyers alongside integrated security capabilities to deal with legal business challenges such as information barriers.

Exceptional contract-to-deployment timescales saw the application live in the records department within four weeks of the deal being agreed. This is a huge benefit, where much of the cost of a project is bound up in the time and consultancy between purchase and live implementation. Keith Dacey, Director at Legal RM said: "This deployment was by no means trivial as it involved 7 data conversations from diverse sources including flat files".

Jason Cousins, Premises & Facilities Director at Oslwang confirmed "iCompli has introduced dramatic cost savings across the board whilst increasing my team's services levels to the business. This project underpins our corporate responsibility objectives at Olswang LLP, namely: Enhanced Health & Safety, improved Green Credentials & the promotion of our continued commitment to staff and clients.
