Repstor Brings Microsoft Teams under Information Compliance Control with Repstor custodian

  • The new functionality is the answer IT managers have been looking for.
  • As one put it: “We were daunted about having to configure Teams for each different use case, and how we’d stop content from becoming unmanageable–especially from a security and data protection standpoint. Then we heard about Repstor custodian.”

SharePoint Conference, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 21st, 2019 – Repstor, the provider of embedded Microsoft Office 365/Outlook information solutions, has announced the availability of new information compliance controls for Microsoft Teams, in direct response to market demand.

The soaring popularity of Microsoft Teams confirms the intuitive way people want to be able to collaborate today – on projects, ideas, problem-solving and decision-making. But without governance and control, Teams use can create new chaos for information and IT managers.

Repstor custodian tackles this issue, bringing new control, templating and lifecycle management capabilities to Microsoft Teams workspaces, just as it does to regular SharePoint collaboration. It ensures collaboration can happen fluidly in the forums users prefer, but without undermining compliance with information management policy.

If users are creating or adding to Microsoft Teams, or sharing Office 365 files with other members, custodian controls what’s possible, so IT managers and information officers don’t need to worry about the types of teams being created, their lifespan or how information is being shared externally.

“Rather than hamper the way people want to work, custodian manages the entire lifecycle of collaboration workspaces and their contents so teams can focus fully on what they need to achieve,” Fergus Wilson, Repstor’s CTO, explains.

Highlights:

  • Full exploitation of Microsoft Teams without later information management issues
  • Create new Team workspaces out of the box with defined layouts and content controls
  • Manage the full evolution and lifecycle of Teams – from initial creation, to project end
  • Control who can set up a Team and what’s permitted based on roles and functions
  • Apply controls to group chat, file upload areas, wikis and notes
  • Users can easily add email into Teams directly from Outlook
  • Prevent sensitive content from getting into the wrong hands, or being kept too long
  • No more silos as Team activity becomes easy to track at a glance

In response to news of the addition of Microsoft Teams governance and information compliance capabilities within Repstor custodian, IT managers’ comments have included:

“Teams proliferation has been a worry for us but with the control added by Repstor we have a clear way forward to allow self-service with the right level of control.”

“We were daunted about having to configure Teams for each different use case, and how we’d stop content from becoming unmanageable–especially from a security and data protection standpoint. Then we heard about Repstor custodian.”

Announcing the purchase in March, Dane Clapson, Assistant General Counsel at IATA, said, “Like a lot of legal teams, we wanted to find better ways to work together and collaborate amongst colleagues.” Although IATA has only just rolled out the software, Dane reports that he has seen hours of duplication eliminated from legal work now colleagues have a clear line of sight across what matters have been referred to the legal department.

Other enthusiastic enterprise customers including Lockton Insurance, Westpac in New Zealand; Frasers Property in Australia; Miral, an asset management company in the UAE; UK National Grid, UK Power Network and Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

At National Grid in the UK, the custodian for Legal rollout was so successful it was entered into The Lawyer Awards 2018, for Most Innovative Use of Technology. Group Head of Legal Operational Excellence, Mo Ajaz, has praised the system’s support for easy collaboration: “There’s improved visibility of where things are and what is happening, and people are retrieving matter-related content easily,” he said.

Significantly, custodian for Legal was developed in collaboration with Eversheds Sutherland Consulting (where it is branded ES/Unity™), a close partner and customer of Repstor. First-hand legal input into the development of the product has cemented its impact for clients.

The software’s collaboration and document management capabilities, optimized for legal users and accessible directly via the familiar interface of Microsoft Outlook, reflect the way people instinctively work. Custodian for Legal’s functionality spans:

  • Client Instruction / Request / Allocation / Triage management
  • Matter-centric document & email management
  • Intuitive collaboration (including external collaboration)
  • Matter Lifecycle Management
  • Management information Reporting
  • Information security
  • Offline and mobile working

Earlier this year, Repstor further bolstered its Americas presence in response to growing demand for custodian for Legal, with new senior appointments in the territory.

Repstor Wins Over the US Legal Sector with its No-Fuss Transformation of Matter Management Using Everyday Software

• The US legal market sees major growth as firms see the benefits of organising and interacting with case files and matter correspondence via existing software platforms
• New strategic appointments pre-empt rising demand as new client signings surge
• The Top 10 Deloitte Fast 50 Company will attend the US’s largest legal conference in New York later this month

Belfast, January 11th, 2019 – Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, has announced two new strategic appointments in the US to capitalise on high demand for its legal sector solution, custodian for Legal™, in the Americas.

Repstor has expanded its sales team in the region with two established names in legal content management software, Robert Swan and Robert Scroggs. Robert Swan, who joined Repstor as VP Sales, Legal Solutions for the Americas in late 2018, and is based in the Greater Atlanta area, will focus on building the company’s legal market penetration in the region. He is assisted by Robert Scroggs as pre-sales technical consultant, who is based between Tampa, Florida and St Petersburg.

Robert Swan was previously VP of Legal Technology at IST Management Services, and his career to date has spanned a range of content management and legal technology roles with major industry players. Robert Scroggs is an experienced business analyst, who has also amassed enviable experience at document management and workflow technology companies, including iManage.

Repstor’s latest strategic recruitment drive follows the appointment of Dr. Petri I. Salonen as General Manager for the Americas, a year ago. Over the last 12 months he has been building a channel for Repstor in the Americas region and growing enterprise sales. Robert Swan and Robert Scroggs will extend that effort specifically to the legal sector in the region.

Custodian for Legal, Repstor’s Office 365-based matter and knowledge management system, has struck a chord with legal teams on both sides of the Atlantic. Its collaboration and document management capabilities, optimised for legal users, harness the powerful and familiar interface of Microsoft Outlook and other Office applications, reflecting the way people instinctively interact and share information and documents with clients and colleagues.

The software is used worldwide by law firms and internal corporate legal teams, and by 5 of the top 10 global management consultancies. Recent new wins include law firm McAllister Olivarius, and the legal department of medical device manufacturer Terumo Europe.

Repstor’s legal matter management business is growing globally too. Last summer the company appointed a new Principal Consultant for its Legal & Professional Services division in Europe. Leigh Smith joined from global law firm Eversheds Sutherland.

To capitalise on Repstor’s growing profile in the Americas, the company will be exhibiting at the LegalTech Show in New York later this month. Repstor will join 9,000 industry associates and 400 exhibitors from January 29-31 at the US’s largest and longest-standing legal technology event. Repstor will host booth #119 at the event at the New York Hilton in the centre of the city.

The announcements are the latest in a run of achievements for Repstor which made the top 10 listings in the 2018 Deloitte Technology Fast 50. The annual awards celebrate indigenous Irish technology companies that have demonstrated exceptional growth.

Commenting on Repstor’s continued plans for international expansion, especially in the legal sector, Alan McMillen, the company’s CEO, said: “We’ve optimised solutions for this market, which we know well. It has been clear for some time now that, by harnessing legal teams’ existing software platforms rather than expecting them to implement completely new systems, we have met a previously untapped need. With a focused team in place, we foresee enormous potential.”

There’s No Stopping Repstor – Now in the Deloitte Top 10 for Rapid Growth Tech Firms

Belfast, November 12th, 2018 – Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, has seen its meteoric rise celebrated for the second consecutive year – this time with a top-10 ranking in the 2018 Deloitte Technology Fast 50. It entered the list for the first time last year, in 11th place.

The Deloitte Fast 50 awards, now in their 19th year, celebrate indigenous Irish technology companies that have demonstrated exceptional growth in turnover in the last four years. After doubling its turnover last year Belfast-based Repstor relocated to the iconic Scottish Provident Building to accommodate its rapidly-expanding team. In 2018 the business has continued to see its fortunes soar – in the UK and overseas.

Repstor’s intuitive and affordable software tools, affinity, assist and custodian, transform productivity and efficiency for knowledge workers. They make it easy and routine to manage case-related emails and content using Office 365 and popular file repositories like SharePoint, M-Files and OpenText. Its products have attracted particular interest from legal teams, project management organisations, HR departments and other organisations which need to keep track of complex cases, contracts and legal matters.

Congratulating this year’s winners, Peter Allen, a partner at Deloitte (NI) Ltd, commented: “These awards recognise Irish technology companies at the cutting edge – companies that are operating in an uncertain international marketplace. And yet they are prospering, and it was particularly evident this year that the vast majority of revenues for the ranking companies are coming from exports. This demonstrates the impact Irish indigenous tech companies are having in global markets.”

Commenting on Repstor’s no 10 ranking this year, Alan McMillen, Repstor’s CEO, said: “This is fantastic news, building on last year’s success and emphasising our continued growth in our chosen markets. We’ve had another phenomenal year, our recruitment initiatives are drawing some enviable talent, and we’re confident given the momentum we are seeing that we will be back again next year.”
