Some of the features it entails are risk analysis, text based analytics and wide search for documents spread across geographically and logistically. The decision to opt for HANA comes precisely for this text analytics and to look at global spread of enterprise issues to be dealt by the Solution.

Business value 

Legacy systems and digitalization become increasingly complex when domain is Legal. The common perception of legal issues is conflict. These set of conflicts need to be mitigated and managed well on their trigger points.

Our current solution LawNote™ provide management of Macro and Micro trigger levels for legal issues at Enterprise level. The end to end solution is much desired to address interplay of multiple players, inter-department collaboration, and bringing a centralized overview.

In contrast, today under legacy system many of man hours and efforts are typically wasted. The workforce energy is absorbed in managing the paper work and the movement of countless files. Not to forget the space for storage. The quest for solution in a proactive manner is only filled by the efficiency at individual levels in Enterprise.

Thus an asynchronous approach to Legal and dispute management in paper system and legacy systems very often fail at potentials risks involved. 

  The increasing globalization is a major factor which presses businesses/governments alike, to look for timely analysis and calculation of risks and threats that at enterprise level.
