SOS Connect’s ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated one stop solution for case and practice management has led mfg Solicitors LLP of Kidderminster to place an order with Solicitors Own Software (SOS) for a 140 user system.
mfg Solicitors provides a balanced portfolio of commercial, agricultural and private client services from five offices in the Worcester, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Halesowen and Telford and has grown to be a regional force through a number of mergers and acquisitions over the years.
ICT partner Peter Simner, who headed up the IT systems evaluation said: “ A firm of our size, that is experiencing considerable growth, needs to ensure that IT keeps up with the competitive pressures in the market as well as the quantity of work which we now need to process. We pride ourselves on providing exemplary service to clients and believe that SOS Connect will help us to continue to improve the quality of service for which we are known.”
mfg looked at several possible replacements for the incumbent Osprey system which could no longer meet the demands of the firm. SOS Connect was selected from a final shortlist of two.
“We preferred SOS Connect because we could see how to standardise and centralise on a single system which would deliver efficiency benefits to all areas of the firm whether for conveyancing case management, probate work or financial accounting,” continued Mr Simner. “The ease of use of SOS is a practical advantage giving us the confidence that the system will be widely used by partners, fee earners and staff alike. We want to work closely with SOS to ensure that we use the system to the full.”
The plan is to fully implement SOS Connect in 2011, using the interim period to clean up data from several databases and prepare for the deployment across five offices.
David McNamara, managing director of SOS said: “mfg Solicitors is taking the steps they need to standardise and implement a system which is flexible and adaptable to all areas of their business and which will keep their systems up to date allowing them to ensure the quality of the services they deliver. Through centralisation and standardisation of business processes, I am confident they will make the efficiency gains they desire but also dramatically improve the accessibility and quality of management information.”
