LexisNexis has introduced a completely new workflow system within the Lexis® Affinity framework. The workflow tools integrate electronic mail, document production, diary and accounting functions to allow clients to map their caseflows and administrative processes into standard diary and workflow templates.
The workflow templates can describe complex tasks containing decision points, recurring tasks, management reports, email notifications, diary entries and documents. Each step in the workflow templates can be set up to prompt staff to enter fees or cause a fee entry to be generated automatially as each task is completed. This ensures all costs and revenus are captured and accounted for. The workflow templates can also be used to automate document production, data capture, billing, management reporting, and to guide staff through the key steps in a range of legal service areas.
