Roadmap includes a user ‘persona’ approach to drive ease-of-use and new Client Matter Inception module

26 March 2019, sa.global Europe HQ

sa.global today announced an accelerated product roadmap for the LexisOne Practice Management Solution. sa.global Group CEO, Stephen James, said, “We aim to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution across all aspects of modern Practice Management and Enterprise Relationship Management. Today’s announcement is the result of the successful merger and collaboration of LexisOne and sa.global. We have coupled sa.global’s expertise on Microsoft platform capabilities in Mobile, Power Apps and BI, with LexisOne’s deep legal domain knowledge, to dramatically accelerate the creation of a fully integrated and complete solution.”

Commenting on the ease-of-use being an important factor in the user adoption story of enterprise software, Stephen continued to say, “The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance solution is an incredibly powerful finance and billing solution, which is very well-designed and adapted for back office and finance staff. For fee-earning and support staff, our technical strategy is based on a ‘persona’ approach, whereby they can leverage an intuitive modern graphical environment, which is consumable via a variety of means, including mobile, workflow and portal technology. Microsoft terms this as the “Intelligent Edge”.

Ease-of-use, integrated functionality, and the cloud platform continue to be our key differentiators. We are building a solution that fully leverages the finance and billing capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 along with the ease-of-use and productivity of the Microsoft Cloud business platform.

First on the product road map is a module for Client Matter Inception (CMI), which we plan to release early summer 2019. Along with CMI, sa.global will also be releasing an entirely new mobile timesheet solution that is based on the PowerApps platform, available across iOS, Android and browser formats. This solution will be competitive with the best of breed applications from well-known vendors in the space and is fully integrated with the back-office Finance and Business Intelligence suite. The initial version will incorporate core timesheet capabilities, while the later versions will leverage advanced capabilities such as AI, to auto-populate the data.

Finally, we are also working on integrating and adapting our existing BI platform from the ’projects+’ solutions for professional services firms. This work will quickly add a complete range of over 30 operational, financial and KPI reports to LexisOne.”

While sa.global as a company is a newcomer in the legal software arena, the product LexisOne is based on deep legal expertise. We believe our Dynamics 365 pedigree, together with LexisOne’s knowledge in the legal domain will change the perception and position us as a real player in the sector.

sa.global will be hosting a breakfast briefing on Dynamics 365 in the Legal market at Microsoft's Paddington offices, 23rd May, 2019. For further information on the LexisOne product roadmap and the overarching legal offering, please pre-register your attendance here as seats are limited.
