SOS Connect has been selected
by Lodders LLP of Stratford-upon-Avon for its next generation legal system. SOS
Connect will help the firm to attain real-time management information, automate
and standardise business processes and further support the goals to forge
strong client relationships and deliver the first rate services which
distinguish Lodders in the marketplace.
Lodders is an established firm of solicitors based in Stratford-upon-Avon,
Warwickshire with additional offices in Cirencester and Henley-in-Arden,
offering specialist advice to individuals and businesses. Private client work
forms the core of the business and remains the common thread of the other main
areas of work: property, business and agriculture. The goal is to combine
technical ingenuity and thoughtful advice with a pragmatic approach to problem
solving.
In 2008 the firm first decided to replace the existing Axxia system which had
reached the end of its life and was not providing the readily available
information deemed necessary for accurate and timely decision-making. SOS
Connect was selected after a lengthy and in-depth evaluation, interrupted by
software industry consolidation, which was taking place at the time. The selection
process was managed by Lodders’ existing technology consultant Solutions
Squared Ltd. During the process AIM, Mountain and Axxia were subject to
acquisition which reduced the initial short list to SOS, Pilgrim and Axxia
(DNA). Following presentations to department heads and secretarial
employees the final shortlist of SOS and Pilgrim were presented to senior
partners, who opted for SOS Connect.
Commenting on the key anticipated benefits of SOS Connect, Rod Bird, managing
partner of Lodders said: “ With SOS Connect we expect to automate formulaic
processes, freeing up partners’ time for the high end, bespoke work and client
services which are paramount in the business, and equip the firm with modern,
efficient systems to take us forward.”
The roll-out of the new system to 100 users across the three offices is on
schedule for a go live date of July 2010.
