The growing trend for adoption of best-of-breed time recording solutions shows no signs of abating with Michelmores the latest top tier firm to switch away from its legacy system. After an extensive evaluation process it selected Rekoop ahead of IntApp and Carpe as its preferred time recording partner, with the UK vendor set for a full roll-out to over 200 fee earners across Michelmore’s Exeter, London and Bristol offices.

The project will see the deployment of Rekoop Desktop, the primary time recording interface; Rekoop Digital Footprint, which monitors activity in the background and automatically constructs fee earners’ timesheets; Rekoop for mobile, enabling the seamless recording of time on the move across iOS initially; and integration with Avaya Aura telephony, thereby allowing all call times to be captured. Collaborative work is also under way to deliver an innovative native solution for Windows Phone 8. Rekoop will link seamlessly to the firm’s existing LexisNexis Axxia PMS.

Michelmore’s Simon Clarke comments: “Fuelled no doubt in part by the quality of the solutions available, there has been a significant change in the time recording landscape over the past 12 months. As a firm that diligently embraces innovation, we want to support our fee earners by providing them with the best tools for the job – tools that give back time, both in the sense of retrieving ‘lost’ time and minimising the administrative burden of completing accurate records. With Rekoop, regardless of where and how fee earners are working, we have one slick, easy and intuitive interface, plus automatic timesheet creation for those who want it, and that’s helping generate better quality, real-time data – with very much less effort.” 

Rekoop CEO Phil Wedgwood welcomes what is the latest in a string of top tier wins: “I commented a few weeks ago on the tide of change within time recording, and that the movement away from legacy to dedicated solutions was only going to swell, and Michelmores is further evidence of this market shift. A competitive pitch is the ultimate peer review and we’re delighted that Rekoop got the nod again.”
