Visionary Information Solutions (VIS), a premier information services management consultancy and comprehensive outsourced library services solution, today announces the deployment of Quatrove technology.  

The Quatrove platform empowers VIS’ leadership to inject high value, actionable metrics, state-of-the-art delivery methods, and powerful productivity in an enhanced, cyber secure research space to directly increase client profitability and insight.

Law firms are leveraging metrics to optimize their competitiveness and precisely allocate resources; utilizing key metrics to optimize law firm investment in legal research is imperative.  Historically, reference requests and workflow in research services were tracked by platforms unamenable to knowledge sharing, efficiency or productivity, serving to exacerbate siloed approaches to research services across a firm’s locations and impede efficiency and decision-making insights.

Quatrove is the game-changing, on-demand application empowering legal research professionals and decision-makers through delivery of potent metrics in a highly secure, knowledge sharing environment.  VIS with Quatrove is perfectly positioned to partner with law firm clients to quickly and efficiently upgrade research services, workflow and intelligence gathering capabilities, knowledge sharing and dissemination, time capture, strategic planning and profitability. 

Specifically, the Quatrove platform’s key features include:   

• Seamless request and productivity tracking, insightful resource management and analysis
• Automatic capture of employee billable time and export to billing system
• Online and hard copy resource management by client/matter, project, work group, cost or metric
• Key purchasing and contract negotiation data
• Elimination of wasted time and increase proficiency with screen prompts
• Innovative, secure intelligence and KM environment 

Other legal research request platforms provided by EOS, Gimlet or Sydney solutions have tackled discrete problems without addressing the new, holistic demands of library professionals and those who manage them. 

President and CEO of VIS, Donna Terjesen, remarks, “I needed a highly secure infrastructure to receive client requests that would additionally provide management capabilities.  Our decision went to Quatrove, hands down because it was conceived from the ground up for legal research professionals and not merely an add-on to an existing system.  Quatrove takes aim at the future of research services, and enables our team to deliver increased value by capturing remarkable efficiencies and knowledge sharing abilities. It is exactly the tool we sought to empower our outsourcing services to all-sized law firms and are so pleased with its success already.”

Sarah Kavanagh, President of Quatrove, remarks, “Working with VIS is a great opportunity to provide the highest levels of security and privacy for their outsourced customers.  I personally look forward to seeing the positive impact Quatrove has on VIS’ clients’ profitability and strategic objectives.”
