LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions, the specialist software solutions division of LexisNexis® UK, today announced the latest release of its market-leading case management system, Lexis® Visualfiles™. Visualfiles 6 introduces continued functionality improvements, alongside flexible deployment options, whilst assuring strong levels of security. This evolution also offers a certified pathway to Lexis® Everyfile, enabling law firms to seamlessly meet their global requirements and further exploit the capabilities of cloud operations via Microsoft Azure.
With thousands of daily users across the Top 200 law firms, public sector bodies, and corporate legal teams, the improvements in this new release of Visualfiles are driven by customer business requirements and the wider industry challenge of cloud accessibility. Working alongside Lexis Everyfile, Visualfiles’ latest version offers flexibility for both high volume and high value users, with integration improvements for more finance systems and forms packages. Furthermore, the powerful ability to create customised data capture solutions has been upgraded, delivering enhancements that underpin essential data and AI strategies. Under the hood, Lexis® Core has also been optimised for the latest version of Microsoft SQL.
Speaking of LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions’ drive to evolve Visualfiles and embrace Microsoft Azure, Nigel Williams, Product Director at LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions, elaborates, “We continue to invest significantly in our technology development to ensure that the workflow and database engine that sits at the heart of Visualfiles, Lexis Core, delivers our customers’ business needs, underpinning our cloud evolution. Customers now benefit from an even more customisable, and functionally rich, Visualfiles solution. Our strategy is to ensure it works cohesively with Lexis Everyfile. Crucially, this gives customers the ultimate choice to work in the way that suits them best.”
Widening the choice of finance systems
This release allows customers to more easily integrate Visualfiles with their preferred finance and accounting system – beyond the existing options. Flexible ‘triggers’ enable a more granular integration, removing the need for manual updates. An enhanced out-of-the-box finance integration solution layer, built with the new ‘triggers’, enables clients to be up and running as quickly as possible.
Cloud-based legal forms
While Visualfiles has always provided legal forms integration, this new version delivers online forms via One Advanced Cloud Forms. A positive addition to Visualfiles, this integration provides an enhanced user experience through a modern, accessible, web application interface.
Capture the data that you, your clients, and your lawyers need
Visualfiles has always offered unrivalled data capture capabilities and version 6 delivers further benefits. For instance, User-Defined screens can now accommodate up to 99 bespoke data fields, improving the user experience and data flexibility.
Powering data and AI strategies
With the explosion of Generative AI, Visualfiles offers unparalleled benefits to firms wishing to exploit this exciting technology. The improvements to Lexis Core and User-Defined screens are reflected in adjustments to Pro2SQL, the powerful, real-time, data warehouse tool. Working as the perfect foundation for any business’ data and AI strategies, Pro2SQL is the platform that powers the exploitation of Generative AI. With the clear links to Lexis Everyfile, organisations can go that one step further, making informed, ‘real-time’ business decisions more clearly, via access to legal project management tools, transparent reporting, and low-code management tools.
