Kirby Simcox selects SOS Connect
Solicitors Own Software (SOS) has announced that Bristol-based law firm Kirby Simcox has chosen to implement SOS Connect following a detailed review of the legal software market.
Kirby Simcox is a 7 partner firm employing some 70 staff across 3 offices in and around Bristol. The firm provides a comprehensive range of legal services to both private clients and businesses across the South West region. The firm has also been a franchised Legal Aid supplier since 1994 and now holds a Legal Services Commission Civil Contract.
SOS Connect is the latest software to be developed by SOS. This dynamic and integrated, practice and case management software is designed to support the entire legal practice by providing an excellent level of functionality that will manage legal workflow, time recording and billing as well as providing ‘real time’ management information. It also uses the latest .NET capability which means the system can be easily accessed via an internet connection.
The new SOS Connect system will replace the firm’s current Mountain software from supplier IRIS and will include a comprehensive electronic data conversion ensuring a smooth transition between the two systems.
SOS Commercial Director Elaine Galvin explains: “Of particular importance to Kirby Simcox was the ability of the new system to fully support all the recent changes introduced by the LSC to their Civil contract procedures which SOS was able to demonstrate and also the need to be able to provide a highly effective but simple to operate case workflow system to every member of staff which will deliver real commercial benefits to the practice by way of improved productivity and efficiency.”
“We look forward to working closely with Kirby Simcox on which we know will prove a very successful project" concluded Elaine.
