Why use Soutron for Information Resource Management at your Legal Library?

There are numerous reasons legal libraries and law firms find it beneficial to use Soutron’s legal library management system to classify their legal resource materials: 

Efficient Organisation of Both Physical and Digital Resources

Legal libraries and law firms deal with extensive collections of legal resource materials, including statutes, case law, legal treatises, title deeds, contracts, research papers, videos and legal opinions. This information is effectively categorised and organised in Soutron’s legal library software, making it simpler to find and recover when needed. The end result? Soutron reduces the time and effort required to find relevant information needed for competitive advantage in the legal sector.

Enhanced User Experience

Branded and customised legal Search Portals that direct users to particular offices, departments, practice areas or knowledge service areas, complete with personalised user accounts with features such as saved searches, reading history, and personalised recommendations.

Standardised Metadata Classification Enhances Search

Effective search capabilities are essential for knowledge discovery given the enormous volume of research data and associated project artefacts produced in the legal sector. Fast access to precise information is required. With the help of Soutron’s metadata classification tagging, poly-hierarchical thesaurus and advanced search capabilities designed specifically for legal research, material may be retrieved quickly and accurately.

Knowledge Capture, Sharing and Enhanced Collaboration

Collaboration and knowledge sharing are crucial for firm-wide success in the knowledge-intensive legal sector. By offering a centralised platform where legal scholars and lawyers may publish, share with peer review, store and retrieve legal information, Soutron supports efficient knowledge capture, sharing and collaboration.

Training and Onboarding

To get even more value from your case law management software, Soutron can serve as a repository for training materials, e-learning modules, audio and video recordings and documentation of standard firm-wide legal procedures. This quickens the onboarding procedure and guarantees uniform training throughout the entire organisation.

Seamless Application Integrations and Workflow Efficienc

Soutron’s poly-hierarchical thesaurus, now available with API access, permits library teams to share and integrate taxonomies with other applications used across the firm to expand the library, pushing live feeds into branded search portals for your firm. It is also possible to integrate with the likes of iManage, SharePoint, Legal Search Connect and others, providing a great way to remove individual silos to information and allow your teams to work more efficiently.

Asset Tracking and Management

Soutron facilitates the tracking and management of legal materials, enabling the firm to keep records of borrowed items, monitor circulation and maintain an inventory of its holdings. This helps prevent loss or misplacement of valuable resources and ensures that materials are available when needed.

Regulatory Compliance and Information Governance

Legal firms are required to uphold client confidentiality and follow ethical standards. To protect sensitive information and guarantee regulatory compliance, Soutron offers security features including granular access controls and permissions.

Flexibility to Meet Global and Local Needs

To facilitate firm-wide classification management and maintain uniformity while addressing local practice demands, Soutron can manage various classification schemes to satisfy both global and local office requirements through our legal library management software. Shelf reference numbers for materials and books held at individual offices can all be stored and presented within Soutron. Since Soutron is Unicode compliant, multicurrency and multilingual support are provided, including support for languages read right to left.

Scalability of your Legal Library Archive

A combined library and archive information resource solution creates a Total Resource Information Management (TRIM) solution that can scale to handle the growing volume of resources as law firms expand and produce more information. It can meet increased data storage requirements, handle new document types, manage other digitised resources such as videos, provide historical documentation and support a growing user base without experiencing major disruptions.

Tailored Subscription Management

Primary law is published in multiple formats with irregular publishing schedules. Soutron’s subscription and serials management records can be fully customised to address these issues, lowering expenses and errors in acquisitions.

Whether you oversee a small or global team of engineers, Soutron is simple for everyone to use, allows room for growth, and can be accessed securely from any device at any time.
