Appurity Connect, the cross-platform mobility specialist, today announces the global launch of Re:Work for Rubus for iOS - a feature-rich email client with iManage integration that enables law firms to increase billable hours and fee earner productivity.

Available on Android for several years and now iOS, Rubus is designed for fee earners and partners that work in a number of different ways - static, remotely or mobile. Within seconds, fee earners and partners have access to email, important documents and assignments - all accessed securely from their smartphones.

With fee earners and partners able to work from anywhere - in the office, from home or on the way to court to meet clients - Rubus is actively reducing downtime and increasing the amount of billable hours per week, per month and per year. For a law firm charging £200 per hour across 150 fee earners, billing just 30 minutes extra over the course of a 21-day working month delivers an additional billing total of £3,780,000.

The features of Re:Work for Rubus include:

• SEND AND FILE – file correspondence from an enterprise email client.
• FILE FROM INBOX – highlight multiple emails and files to manage.
• INBOX ACCESS - ability to file on the move even if offline (Android only).
• TASK MANAGEMENT - manage and organise tasks in-app.
• iMANAGE SEARCH - search and view key documents, assignments, emails and workspaces.
• DOCUMENTS - check and make amendments to documents securely.
• OFFLINE MODE - work as usual in offline mode (Android only)

“We’re incredibly excited to announce the global availability of Re:Work for Rubus on iOS. The app has been available on Android for several years with positive feedback from users. We’ve been working closely with a number of leading law firms, listening to their feedback on the iOS product and integrating the features they believe will make a significant difference to the way they operate,” said Steve Whiter, director, Appurity Connect.

“The response from law firms once they start to realise the benefits of Rubus has been overwhelmingly positive. Fee earners are working more productively remotely or when they’re on the move, their clients are getting the level of service they expect and firms are billing more hours each month. We believe this is a gamechanger for the legal sector.”

“Our lawyers have reacted positively to Rubus, as it allows them to work more productively remotely or when they’re on the move. Being able to respond quickly to client queries without needing a full desktop is important to us, and Rubus helps us achieve this,” commented Damian Behan, IT Director, Brodies LLP.
