Since 2021, Quebecor has been a client of Septeo Legal Suite, utilizing the Matter Management module and the Contract Management module.
Additionally, Quebecor uses our Microsoft Word and Outlook Plug-ins and Advanced Configurator, which allow them to:
“Lega Suite has primarily enabled us to implement a digitized document management system, which is essential in a remote work environment where colleagues work from different locations.Secondly, it has allowed us to fully transition to digital, eliminating the need for printing and paper copies, which saves physical space.
Thirdly, it has enhanced our efficiency by providing instant access to all files with just a click or two, improving productivity by allowing us to identify who is generating the most volume from a contractual perspective. GaLexy has introduced features that didn’t exist in a paper-based environment, such as automatic reminders, tags, more detailed descriptions, and better access to files, available 24/7 to all team members.”
“We save time because we need fewer resources to manage physical files. Digital file management requires fewer resources than paper file management did in the past.”
“About three months. The software implementation itself wasn’t the longest part. The longest part was determining what we wanted to do—the configuration.”
“I think we already knew what we were getting into and what we were purchasing, so there were no surprises. The power of the solution becomes evident when you use it in a real-world context.”
