Axxia dna to deliver business improvement to Bindmans  

London, 26 November 2008 - LexisNexis, a leading provider of Practice & Productivity Management solutions, announces that Bindmans LLP, a top ranking UK legal firm, has chosen to migrate to Axxia dna, a fully integrated and seamless practice management solution with document management, case management, reporting and business process workflow capabilities.

Bindmans, whose 14 practice areas are nationally recognised for being at the cutting-edge of legal developments, has selected Axxia dna over all other competing products, for its practical functionality, proven technology and ease of use.

Axxia dna will streamline workflow and business processes at Bindmans to deliver operational efficiencies across the firm, and an enhanced service to its clients. The solution encapsulates all the critical components - right from time recording and billing, through to knowledge management and resource planning - required for effective and efficient practice management. It will be used by all 110 staff across the firm's business functions including finance, marketing, human resources and the legal client teams.

Kambiz Jahanshahi, IT Manager at Bindmans LLP, commented, "When we were informed that our existing AIM practice management software was being discontinued, we investigated the market for a single integrated solution. Compared to all the other similar solutions, dna instantly ticked all the boxes - for fee-earners, secretarial staff and the finance team alike. It has been very well designed to enhance productivity in the legal business environment. We will be able to use all of the functionality and features offered by the solution."

Intended users of the solution including fee-earners, personal assistants, administrators and finance teams have been particularly impressed by the statistical and reporting features offered by Axxia dna. For example, fee-earners will be able to map their progress towards business and client targets; and the reporting options will automate and reduce the time it takes fee-earners, personal assistants and finance teams to produce accurate billing.

Tim Cheadle, UK General Manager, LexisNexis Practice & Productivity Management, added, "Axxia dna is a proven solution that we are continuously evolving based on our in-depth understanding of the working practices and requirements of the legal profession. On the one hand, it offers tremendous productivity benefits to individuals including fee-earners and administration staff, and on the other hand it serves as a powerful business management tool.

"We are delighted to be working with such a highly respected law firm and look forward to a long and mutually rewarding partnership."

LexisNexis Axxia dna is a business-centric application that brings together practice management, business process management, business intelligence and resource planning.
