Sysero: A year in review and a look ahead for legal workflows
As we quickly approach the end of 2022 and the start of a new year, we wanted to take the time to reflect on how Sysero has evolved as a business over the last 12 months. From introducing new low-code/no-code solutions to helping clients make better use of the cloud, we hit some exciting milestones in 2022! With a new year ahead of us, there’s plenty we still have in store to help law firms and legal providers drive efficiency, boost productivity, and deliver exceptional client service.
Here, we take a look back at some of the major milestones we hit in 2022, as well as preview what’s to come in the new year.
The Rise of Low-Code/No-Code
This year ushered in a new era of legal technology with the rise of no-code/low-code platforms. These intuitive, visual–based platforms make it easy for non-technical users to build their own applications, without the need for extensive IT support. With low-code/no-code solutions, law firms and legal service providers can put the task of application development into the hands of their internal IT support staff and lawyers.
To help firms take advantage of the benefits of low-code/no-code platforms, Sysero introduced its Visual Workflow Designer this year, which allows users to automate operational processes by creating custom workflows using powerful flowchart features. The user-friendly interface and drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy for users to quickly and simply build start-to-finish workflows, without the assistance of IT.
Customers were quick to adopt the new technology, with London-based law firm Wedlake Bell proving how no-code workflow solutions can be used to modernise traditional processes, increase efficiency, and provide clients with greater visibility with its no-code supply chain workflow solution. As we head into 2023, we can expect to see more firms tap into low-code/no-code solutions to unlock better business outcomes.
Adapting to the Hybrid Firm
Over the past year, more firms adopted a hybrid working environment, creating the need for more flexible, accessible, and secure technology solutions. An increasing number of firms sought to bring their business-critical workflows to the cloud, without sacrificing data security.
In response to these modern challenges, Sysero launched its Hybrid Workflow solution, which enables firms to work closer with their clients through the public cloud, whilst maintaining client privacy. Using Sysero’s hybrid-cloud solution, firms can publish forms to the public cloud to easily and securely capture information from clients, and then pull that data to be stored behind the safety of the firm’s firewall.
Heading into the year ahead, data security and compliance will continue to be a key concern, and hybrid workflows afford firms the ability to collaborate securely with clients on an array of processes and tasks.
Navigating the Move to iManage Cloud
With the rise of hybrid working, 2022 saw more organisations moving to the cloud to boost agility, increase productivity, and provide a more modern client experience. So, it’s no surprise that as of August 2022, more than 92,000 iManage users had already moved to iManage Cloud.
While iManage cloud offers firms enhanced security features and greater agility, it also creates the need for iManage applications that adhere to strict security standards. To enable firms to more easily use workflow automation technology as part of their iManage Work 10 cloud instances, Sysero announced it became an iManage Universal application.
Sysero’s low-code/no-code workflow system seamlessly integrates with iManage Work 10 on-premise and in the cloud to provide iManage users with enhanced productivity capabilities. As more iManage users make the move to the cloud, we can expect an increasing number of firms to turn to Sysero workflow automation to unlock greater potential from their collective knowledge and more efficiently manage knowledge delivery.
A New Look for Sysero
Last, but not least, Sysero was delighted to unveil a new look in 2022. In June, Sysero launched a new website, featuring a fresh, modern, and mobile-optimised design and also unveiled a new colour-scheme.
The new website was designed to provide visitors with a more streamlined experience, enhanced mobile capabilities, and easy access to essential information to help them make well-informed decisions about their legal technology.
