Burness Paull LLP, a leading Scottish commercial law firm, has had a long history of strong information management and content collaboration practices. For over 10 years they have used iManage Work as their Document Management System (DMS). However, as lawyers and clients demanded ways to access content outside of iManage, they have adapted by implementing HighQ Collaborate.
Success Stories
Burford Capital Leverages SeeUnity’s Velocity Content Migration with Successful Cloud to Cloud Move
The original document management system for Burford was NetDocuments. While NetDocuments had served Burford well in its early years, Burford’s tremendous growth and increased scale required a more robust document management system. Features Burford was seeking included automated workspace creation using standard folder templates, synching of workspace metadata from a Salesforce database, better integration of Office products, more powerful and precise searching in multiple languages, full compatibility with all document types, better performance, integrated OCR capabilities, better file-sharing capabilities, world-class security, and mobile access.
European Court of Human Rights Improves Content Searching
The European Court of Human Rights improves content searching with SeeUnity’s Fusion Search for SharePoint. The Court relies on their eDOCS repository to store and protect valuable legal resources. They had also implemented Microsoft FAST to provide superior searching of public information.
In the end, they envisioned a custom user portal that would run FAST search engine against their eDOCS repository for easy, user-friendly access to content for internal users. SeeUnity’s Fusion Search for SharePoint was used to build a FAST-powered search portal, improving search performance and usability.
Husch Blackwell Uses SeeUnity’s Synchronization to Simplify How They Share Content
Husch Blackwell uses SeeUnity’s Echo Content Synchronization to simplify how they share content between systems. For over a decade, Husch Blackwell has relied on OpenText eDOCS as their standard for ECM. While satisfied with eDOCS, they needed to find a way to share content externally with clients, local counsel, and other third parties without providing them access to their eDOCS repository. The firm implemented SharePoint in addition to their DM, but quickly ran into issues.
The firm needed to address the issue of multiple versions and duplicative documents that spanned across SharePoint and eDOCS. SeeUnity’s Echo Content Synchronization allowed Husch to use publishing to place content in SharePoint from their eDOCS repository. This made providing DM content to SharePoint seamless.
City of London Moves Systems to Better Support Records Management Practices
The City of London moves systems to better support records management practices with SeeUnity’s Velocity Content Migration. The City of London wanted to move 4 terabytes of mission-critical content from OpenText Livelink to SharePoint 2013. Initially, when Livelink was configured and implemented, records management was not a part of the project scope. Once this became an initiative, the City of London looked through a variety of options, ultimately selecting SharePoint as their main repository of record.
The ultimate goal was to migrate existing content from Livelink to SharePoint, utilize Gimmal to track records and transform and reorganize content to better support records management. SeeUnity’s Velocity Content Migration solution was robust enough to migrate the 2.5 million documents, and allow for easy searchability of the documents after everything was said and done.
