Press Release: Web Access for LEAP Customers

Web Collaborator allows LEAP Office users to provide their clients with access to defined matter information and associated documents via the Internet. Clients can also send instructions and notes via Web Collaborator that are seamlessly loaded into the LEAP database, with the practitioner involved automatically notified by email.

The software is the first application in Australia to be built for the legal profession using the Microsoft Azure platform for delivery via the cloud. The client simply installs the Web Collaborator service on their LEAP server and data is published via the software to a secure, robust and scalable environment that ensures optimal performance for the firm’s clients. No additional investment in infrastructure is required.

 “Web Collaborator allows LEAP customers to provide the same type of web access capability that Australia’s largest law firms provide their clients. In today’s demanding market, the software provides a competitive advantage to the firm by giving the client immediate access to documents, status and the information about their matters without the firm needing capital investment or changes to their business processes” stated Stephen Butler, a Director of Red Rain. “Not only is customer service improved but costly interruptions from telephone calls can be avoided” he added.

The software is completely integrated with LEAP Office and the Red Rain development team have been working closely with LEAP software engineers over the past 12 months to ensure that a robust, complete and seamlessly integrated utility is available to meet customer needs.

“We are delighted to have been working with Red Rain on the creation of this new module for the publishing of LEAP data to the web. We believe that Web Collaborator is an important add on to our offering to the market place and adds further value with to our overall solution for our customers” said Richard Hugo-Hamman, Managing Director of LEAP Legal Software.

Red Rain’s plans are to further enhance the product based on initial feedback from first customers and interested parties and then extend the technology to create new modules for lawyer access.

“Now that we have built the fundamental architecture for publishing to the web with the Azure platform we have many ideas for the access of information for lawyers and are currently investigating what is possible with tablets and other mobile platforms” added Butler.
