From Then to Now: A Year of Progress and Innovation

Overview

Unveiling Our Journey Since Last Year’s Conference 

Accesspoint’s year end was just last month and last year was certainly the biggest year for us in our company history with significant gains in every area of the business:

Our latest success stories

• We have grown our professional services and data migration teams and have the capacity to fully implement NetDocuments, LEAP and Actionstep.
• We successfully implemented NetDocuments to law firms and in-house legal teams including Harold Benjamin Solicitors, Bimeda Holdings and only last month we went live with over 170 users at Burnetts Solicitors. We were also very pleased to be selected to implement NetDocuments at Lawfront to over 800 users across their 4 regional firms.
• We have taken a number of sites live on Actionstep with more in progress and in the pipeline.

Our Mozaique products continue to grow in demand

Demand for our Mozaique suite of products remains strong and we were pleased to roll this out to firms such as LCF Law, Hunt and Coombs, Osbornes Law, Maurice Turnor Gardner, Kingsfords, Lacey’s, Best Solicitors, Herrington Carmichael and more. This has led to firms wanting to push the product even further. We do our best to listen and we have released some major enhancements to Mozaique which we’ll be able to detail later on in the conference.

We’re working on new websites and digital marketing plans

Our marketing and media team have also grown with development of new websites and digital marketing plans for firms such as HSR Law, Goodman Ray & Thornton Jones with Sternberg Reed, GT Stewart and Prince Evans soon to follow suit.

Training and Consultancy booms

We trained over 2,000 users over the past 12 months from the various new PCMS and DMS implementations as well our New Starter Training which is proving ever more popular. We continue to support firms with consultancy services including report writing, case management workflow development, setting up modules and processes. Still very much bread and butter services for us.

Having said that, we have become more and more agnostic as a provider and have also partnered with other PCMS Suppliers such as SOS, LEAP and Access Legal to build various integrations.

We’ve built solid partnerships

We’ve built and nurtured solid partnerships with leading Legal Tech providers such as NetDocuments, Actionstep, Verify365, PALI, Ochresoft, ReviewSolicitors and FormEvo. Developing very successful integrations that they had previously struggled to achieve.

We continue to invest in UK-based talent

We continue to provide opportunities to young people starting out in their IT careers through our Apprenticeship program. Many of the talented developers and consultants that you have worked with at Accesspoint started out with us as Apprentices including Nesar, Joni, Jamie H and Jamie C and our very popular Mr. Matthew Smith.

Others who joined us still early in their careers such as the fantastic Jack Gilham there, have really started to find their place in the business with Jack now leading our NetDocuments implementations after joining as a Developer only 3 years ago.

We’re always on the look out for specialist Legal Tech talent

We are also always on the look out for specialist talent in the Legal Tech arena as they are always worth their weight in gold. So we were very, very pleased to recruit two key hires in the past few months: Kirran Tariq who some of you may know from her time at Advanced working in the implementations team concentrating on Case Manager training and development as well as Crystal Reports and TaskCentre. She came to us from having recently been at Linetime implementing this and other products such as PracticeEvolve. Hayley Biddlecome then joined us in May. She brings a wealth of knowledge around PCMS systems with a particular skillset in Accounts and Legal Aid, which are very hard to come by these days.

We’ve had a busy year!

So, we have had a very busy year at Accesspoint. And here are just some of the new clients that we signed up this year. A great result.

The one that really stands out is the Team GB logo. This was a really cool project that Scott won through his industry contacts and involved us completely digitising a large stream of their manual processes by developing a bespoke portal and Mobile App for the Paralympic athletes which allows them to select, administer and track their equipment. As you can imagine, there are thousands of athletes and supporting staff with huge warehouses full of equipment that needed to be moved around the world. So it was amazing that we got to be a part of that, and really shows off the diverse skillsets that we have in this business.
