Hear what our customers have to say
By having one platform to perform everything is a game changer- helping to improve efficiency, productivity and spend more time on what’s important. From one place colleagues can carry out day-to-day tasks, better manage cases and clients, monitor compliance, complete e-learning courses right through to managing their own performance using the Access HR software.
We implemented Access Legal’s online document delivery and acceptance tool, which has proven vital in enhancing our client onboarding process - it’s all done with the click of a button.
Overall, we are thrilled with our Access Legal case management solution and the complete service offering from Access Legal.
When we saw the integration with the Access Legal Case Management System and the IT Support, it was a no-brainer.
Access Legal really underpins the entire operation. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to even sustain the level of business that we were achieving, let alone grow it.
We decided to invest in something that would make this simple, save us time and reduce spend on IT resources and Access Legal Hosting has achieved this.
Access Legal software forms the core of what we’re going to be doing going forward and we’re really happy with the way it works and the potential it offers.
With the cloud-hosted service and Access Legal support taking over more of the infrastructure side of our IT, I believe it will save approximately four hours’ worth of IT resource a week for me which I can then use to focus on strategic development projects.
