The jointly developed solutions will help Quebec legal professionals optimize their practices
Burnaby, BC, September 21, 2016--(T-Net)--TELUS and Juris Concept announced that they are collaborating to offer legal practitioners in Quebec and across Canada a new suite of cloud-based solutions allowing them to more efficiently manage cases and ultimately lower costs for citizens seeking legal aid.
The new technology systems will allow lawyers to manage cases in the cloud, simplifying important processes such as legal follow-ups, communications among the parties involved and the administration and archiving of records.
The two companies will pool their expertise to develop, design and securely host software and communications solutions. Juris Concept's software will integrate various TELUS solutions such as an IP telephony platform, called Business Connect, which allows businesses to have access to a full suite of communications tools to help them stay connected to their customers - in the office or on the go.
Alain Dubois, President of Juris Concept, said “Our new cloud data management solutions and services are reliable and secure thanks to TELUS' infrastructure, and their numerous features enable legal professionals to focus on their core activities while maximizing their practice.”
Danny Serraglio, Vice-President, TELUS SMB Business Solutions for Eastern Canada, added “We recognize the strong potential IT and telephony solutions can play in optimizing business processes at all levels. We are confident that the integration of modern technology within the legal practice will benefit all industry stakeholders, including the provincial department of Justice, the Quebec Bar, courthouses, legal professionals and citizens. Our collaboration with Juris Concept is one step in that direction.”
Juris Concept and TELUS joined forces in the wake of a reform in Québec - the Code of Civil Procedure recently highlighted the need for modernization within the Québec justice system by including a new provision which encourages legal practitioners to make use of available technological means within their practice.
