New Partnership with M-Files Brings in New Business for Repstor

As an M-Files Certified Application Partner, Repstor has secured several new customer wins
Repstor will sponsor and present at M-Files’ upcoming partner conference

Belfast, May 8th , 2018 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their ECM investments, has today announced a strategic partnership with intelligent information management solution provider M-Files and reports a series of new early customer wins.

Repstor has been awarded Certified Application Partner status by M-Files. Through the technology alliance, it has integrated the M-Files Intelligent Information Management system within its Repstor affinity™ Outlook plugin, adding email management and making it second-nature for Outlook-centric workers to keep storing key documents and associated communications to the M-Files system – even when users are on the move.

Noting the appeal of the tight integration between the two platforms, Dr. Petri I. Salonen, Americas General Manager at Repstor, said, “If people have to take special actions to keep content organised, it can jar with the way they instinctively want to work. Yet, without every user storing files in the right places, things can unravel quickly. Repstor addresses this issue directly, using software that companies have already invested in.”

Meanwhile IT decision-makers can reap additional returns from their existing investments in both Microsoft and M-Files software, knowing this is now driving more efficient, standardised working practices and more controlled and effective collaboration.

Since forming the technology alliance, Repstor has agreed to sponsor and speak at M-Files’ annual Global Partner Conference, taking place from May 29-June 1st in Miami, Florida.

87% of users report an ‘excellent’ experience as National Grid deploys Microsoft 365-based Matter Management

The legal matter management solution from Eversheds Sutherland & Repstor harnesses existing MS platforms to improve productivity, efficiency & flexibility

Belfast, UK – May 1st, 2018 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Microsoft 365 investments, has named National Grid plc as the latest happy customer of ES/Unity™. The consultancy-led, Microsoft 365-based proposition, developed by Repstor in partnership with international law firm Eversheds Sutherland, is already recording very high user acceptance scores thanks to the way it harnesses National Grid’s existing Microsoft software platforms.

The British multinational electricity and gas utility company has a large UK legal department whose six teams provide legal services to more than 17 business entities and 24 business areas. A reorganisation of the business and a drive to provide more with less prompted the legal function to bring improved consistency and coordination to the way it managed legal matters.

“We wanted to move to a standardised approach – to improve productivity, simplicity and efficiency,” explains Mo Ajaz, National Grid’s Group Head of Legal Operational Excellence, whose role is to ensure that any IT investments within the legal department achieve results. Rather than invest in a dedicated legal document management system, National Grid wanted to make fuller use of standard software that users had already – across and beyond the legal department.

It chose ES/Unity, Powered by Repstor™ because it brings consistency to the way people store and access matter-related documents and emails, without users having to change the way they do things. They simply work on matters using a familiar Outlook user experience for email filing, document management and collaboration, and managing the matter lifecycle.

Importantly, ES/Unity was developed with direct input from Eversheds Sutherland’s own legal teams. Eversheds Sutherland provides the associated implementation consultancy too, supported by Repstor, ensuring a smooth transition and high user adoption.

Evidence of this is abundant: in a follow-up user survey, 87 per cent of National Grid’s legal team said their experience of ES/Unity and the new way of working was ‘excellent’; the remaining 13 per cent were very positive too. “Everyone is very happy,” Mo says. “Collaboration is very good, there’s improved visibility of where things are and what is happening, and people are working well and retrieving matter-related content easily.”

Word of the project’s early success has already spread to other functions at National Grid. Risk and Head of Investigations have now also rolled out ES/Unity, and the Company Secretary’s office, Property and other departments are interested too. “Having seen how easy ES/Unity has been to adopt, enthusiasm has spread across the business,” Mo says.

Based on the project’s successful adoption, in early 2018 National Grid entered it for The Lawyer Awards for Most Innovative Use of Technology.
National Grid will give a presentation about its experience of deploying and using ES/Unity at AIIM Forum UK 2018 on June 20th in London. Register to attend here.

Repstor Confirms Participation at AIIM Forum UK 2018

After launching its mobile content filing and matter management solutions at last year’s event, Repstor will demo its full suite of O365-native products this June

March 21st, 2018 – Repstor, the ECM adoption company that helps businesses exploit their SharePoint and Office 365 investments, has announced that it will once again be participating in AIIM’s annual UK meeting. AIIM Forum UK 2018 will take place on June 20th in London.

Repstor customer National Grid is confirmed to deliver a presentation at 10:15 at the Forum. Mo Ajaz, National Grid’s Group Head of Legal Operational Excellence will present his talk entitled, Transforming Legal Matter Management with Office 365.

Last year, Repstor used the London AIIM Forum to launch its new mobile platform, which transforms information workers’ ability to file and retrieve content, and to collaborate more fully with colleagues and clients, when on the move. This year, as well as showcasing its Outlook-native products, the company will host a SharePoint/ Office365 round table session at giving delegates a unique chance to debate and discuss their O365 challenges and garner advice and recommendations first-hand from experts in the field.

Repstor specialises in matter/case and email/document management solutions that work natively within Microsoft Office, Office 365 and SharePoint. Its ECM adoption technologies have attracted worldwide interest because of their ability to increase the payback on companies’ existing investments in Office 365 and SharePoint, as well as content management tools such as Box, M-Files and OpenText. Its case and matter management products, meanwhile, have experienced enthusiastic take-up among private law firms and corporate legal departments.

Over the last year, Repstor technology has enjoyed significant business wins in the US, Canada and the UAE, as well as the UK.

This time last year, the company was also gearing up to launch ES /Unity™ in partnership with international law firm Eversheds Sutherland. The powerful legal matter management, which works with companies’ existing Office 365/SharePoint systems, has attracted a strong client base among corporate legal teams. National Grid, Wellcome Trust, Queen’s University Belfast, and Miral, an asset management company in the UAE, committed to ES/Unity within the first quarter of the product’s launch, and business has continued to be brisk over the last year.

Commenting on Repstor’s planned presence at AIIM Forum UK 2018, Fergus Wilson, Repstor’s CTO, said, “The annual AIIM event is one of the highlights of our company’s calendar, not just for showcasing our technology to our target market, but also for the networking opportunities. We look forward to another lively event this June.”

AIIM Forum UK is a FREE independent, single-day event hosted by AIIM International, designed to deliver thought leadership, market insights and expert advice around all aspects of content management, and to showcase the latest developments in information management.
