Legal Case Management Webinar (Full Webinar)

Alright perfect, Thank You Lauren. So real quickly as an agenda we’ll do a quick introduction of our media and then I will turn it over to some at mania to do a day in the life and the demo of the application.

So a little bit about Armedia, we’ve been in business since 2002 and we started the company garner had a term called narrowcasting which was really you know find something that you can do well and focus on that as a small business and so we focus on the enterprise content management space and so. Enterprise content management really covering document management, business process management, case management, web content management, records management types of applications.

In 2002 we partnered with documentum who was a leader in the market both my mine share and market share Howard Shaw was on our board who was the co-founder of documentum and then in 2005 when the other co-founder John Newton actually left the startup Afresco, we quickly followed and have continued to be Alfresco partners on since then. We are been a neutral from the ECM platform not only do we support Alfresco and documentum but we also support other ECM platforms like SharePoint and and FileNet and etc.

Our media is a CMMI level 3 organization sim my level 2 says you have standardized process for program management. Level 3 is you have not only standardized processes and procedures for program management but also for a software development with the closed-loop process for process improvement.

We do quite a bit of work in the DoD and Intel space which has afforded us some clearances and even if our project are not clear projects who bring that same thought process into into all our projects, which is really more of a need-to-know so people don’t have are not working on your project and they don’t get access to your systems your data as we implement these projects. I think our focus in the ECM space has afforded us opportunity to go deep in a number of different platforms and which is resulted into a number of different awards for the work that we’ve done.

In our content services practice we’ve seen a number of different patterns in the work that we’ve been doing over the last I say five or ten years, case management is one and we think about a case we’re thinking about you know in the most generic sense of the term they’ve got a collection of related information documents, passed notes, people all this associated with with a particular case so whether it be a invoice application or HR application a loan application the docket management system a four year system that collection information has some kind of process and life cycle.

Most of the information that we’re doing that we’re helping our customers with whether it be a case management system IT modernization, most of those documents are official records and need to have some governance around them and so implementing a records management system that would allow them to have their retention schedules and disposition schedules to maintain them as those digital assets. And then lastly as people look to modernize the platform for their own, implementing a migrating them from a legacy ECM platform to more of a modern ECM platform it’s been something that we’ve engaged in and so.

How have we addressed these patterns case management – we developed the ArkCase platform. I’m over the years and matt is going to show you a quick demo of that a little bit later. But again ArkCase allows us to accelerate the implementation of case management based applications again application that have data and tasks and notes and then putting a business process around some of those records management. So at some event within a particular application or case the documents are declared as official records and then they have a retention policy and disposition schedule and so we’ve implemented records management, not only for our case management systems but also as in collaboration with other applications to for a number of different organizations.

And then for platform modernization, we’ve done a number of different migration project from Documentum to SharePoint for superior energy for OPM we migrated over 600 million objects from or for UCM into Alfresco and then lately we just finished the migration with GSA moving them from the document on platform to it to Alfresco.

So we’ve seen some patterns that we’ve been addressing, we’ve also created some solution and neighbors and these solution and neighbors allow us to increase our time to bathe, so how do we get our project into production faster and then also how do we reduce the risk associated with with implementing solutions by having a framework, by having a toolset that we can go to market with and so.

ArkCase I’ve talked about will see a demo of that so I won’t speak much more about that. Caliente is a bulk migration framework it natively understands CCM constructs we built this based on doing our migration, so it understands voters and documents and inversions and renditions and those constructs associated with doing ECM migration and then lastly I’ll just be talk about is the Armedia content cloud and so in collaboration with AWS, we partnered with Alfresco and SS off and ArkCase to build a Content.

That’s out there on the federal marketplace now that provides you document management and image management and records management and business process management, case management all in a platform that that adheres to the over 300 security controls associated with a bedroom.

So with that fit as a quick background I now want to turn it over to Matt main to give us a demo of the the ArkCase legal application.

Perfect, thanks James appreciate it. So what I’d like to do is I’d like to go ahead and set the stage. Before we actually get into the actual demo of the application let’s talk about the story we’re going to show today it makes a little bit more sense to show a really of a day in the life, especially for those that will be utilizing this application. You want to kind of how the story plays out so we’re going to actually show legal management but it’s going to be handling an actual grievous grievance complaint, specifically we’re going to utilize Ethan and Darren.

Ethan is going to be the person that’s been kind of passed up or discriminated as for a promotion and this is kind of a high-level workflow we’re going to use ArkCase obviously utilizes an actual user interface that allows you to create forms and from those forms take those two workflows and obviously to be able to collaborate.

So we’re going to create a grievance as a complaint we’re going to have Matt the user in ArkCase legal to go through this triage it and then actually open up an investigation. From there the case will be essentially opened and then we’ll collaborate on that case. We’ll spend quite a bit of time going through that at some of the day to day things that can be done on say documents or workflow or tasks or even finding information by searching or looking at reports. And then we’ll actually close this case out and show you how you can automatically or seamlessly buy a status change declare a record. Well then show some of the other bells and whistles like the admin configuration and spend some time there.

Well that being said let’s go ahead and transition to the actual application. So this is going to be your login screen as you can see here we do have login information you do have your forgot password, forgot user name. We’re going to go ahead and login manually, we do also have out-of-the-box single sign-on integration we can utilize sam’l kevro’s we can also support CAC or pip authentication. So if there those are requirements of your actual customer or of your group you can actually utilize that out-of-the-box with ArkCase legal.

As you can see here logging in you land on the home screen this is our dashboard screen. On the top you actually have what’s called your global new this is where you will initiate a new complaint case test whatever it may be and we’ll go through that manual process today. You also have at the top you have your simple search which leads into your advanced search module on the left hand side, you also have your actual internationalization here at the top right if you why’s that or you have requirements around that. On the left-hand side you also have the individual module starting with the dashboard that we’re on this is actually out of the box provides specific widgets to visualize the information that you may use like lists of complaints and being able to hyperlink out to them into the actual module cases.

Maybe you have actually have pie charts or specific widgets that represent your information the way you want to see them and then even tasks being able to jump out to that location, so this is your jumping-off location. Jumping into the complaint module like it needs to click on the complaint module or I could even just go ahead and click on one of the actual complaints in the widget it takes me right to that complaint within the complaint module. the great thing about ArkCase is from a user interface it’s very intuitive it allows you to see really visualize the information and very similar ways across all of the modules.

As you can see here we have a list of individual complaints and within those complaints or that virtual folder you have quite a bit of metadata and content as you can see here. Once again we will go through the complaint module when we talk about the use case but jumping into the case files module all is the same paradigm so you have a list of cases, you have access to and all of the metadata.

Another thing to mention here is that I am logged in as an admin user what that means is I have access to the actual admin role. That role allows for X number of privileges in the application it gives me access to modules, it gives me access to certain cases because that I am a participant in that next specific group I can see this information and it really essentially controls everything in the user interface the role role access and you’ll see that in the security section in the admin configuration a little bit later.

Moving into the tasks module very much follows the same paradigm you can have a concept of an ad-hoc task or even a task that is associated to an actual parent case or a parent complaint and it may be part of a workflow. So as you can see or you can have process diagram and we’ll go through some of those actual tasks and completing the task here in just a few minutes when we go to the use case.

Additionally the people an organization module this is think of this as your people database or your organization database has its own metadata so essentially you may have a specific person associated to one or many cases and you can see that what cases or complaints they actually have associations with and then you can also see from an organization perspective demographics or information about that organization and once again see any complaints or cases or the object that you’re actually associating them to.

Jumping down into the search module we do have a full full search capability as it pertains to not only the metadata that the full text search on all images so we can OCR those images and store those index, you can search across them. As you can see this is a faceted search and if we have time we’ll come back and narrow Denis or show you that export and do a couple of different things here on the search results.

We also had canned reports once again we provide some canned reports but we will show you a little bit later how to not only run the canned reports but will actually create very quickly a one-off report right here in the demo in about 30 seconds and then expose it in the application so we’ll show how to design a report.

Jumping down into the admin section. This is where we’ll spend the last five to seven minutes or so and we’ll talk about how to control your security, how from day one to set up security, how to sub security around the dashboard widgets that you have access to, how to create new reports or change the labels and terminology within the application, all the dropdowns and how you can configure those and change the values, even down to how can you create your own correspondence templates to be leveraged within a case or complaint and we’ll talk quite a bit about that as we go through that.

So without further ado now that you have a kind of a high-level idea of the layout. Let’s actually go into the actual use case. So the use case we had talked about was creating a complaint so this complaint can be created by a manual user today it’s going to be manually created by Matt and let’s just say this is a phone call that comes in or an email that comes in that we need to create a complaint that needs to be triaged, okay. You also have many other ways to create things by maybe integrating with a web portal maybe integrating with fact import or some other tool or other system that would communicate with ArkCase.

ArkCase has exposed Russell API’s where it’s very easy to integrate with ArkCase and integrate not only system importing data but also ArkCase exporting data to other systems.

So we’re going to go ahead and create an initiator, if you remember we actually had talked about Ethan. Ethan is going to be the person that is going to going to enter in his information basically for the initiator so Matt’s taking a phone call from Ethan, we can actually enter in quite a bit of information whether it’s adding in the organization he’s associated to or maybe even the location. Once again we’ve made this very simplistic from a configuration perspective and we only have two minute or fields. Last and first name to get a person in the system. So we’re go ahead and save that person.

Once we do that we can either move to the next tab, we can hit next we’ll go ahead and move to the next tab as you can see here here’s one of our configurable lookup dropdowns and we’re going to go ahead and scroll through this and make sure that we specify this incident or this complaint as a grievance, okay. We’re going to go ahead and we’re going to say this is Ethan Allen vs. we’re going to go ahead and say this is versus Darren construction.

If you want to collect additional information why you’re saying on the phone with Ethan or if this was a web portal Ethan could be entering in his own information, a detail description, may be how often this has happened there’s a lot of other metadata that out of the box comes on this form but this is a configurable form that can be changed to support your business requirements.

Additionally moving to the next tab I don’t have any other mandatory information so I’m going to go ahead and create this due to time but I could enter in as many associated people whether I wanted to add in Darren as the wrongdoer or someone else as a witness I could do so. So I’m going to go ahead and create this what this is doing is going to create a complaint within the complaint module and it’s going to take me there and save obviously the information we’ve collected right here on the form.

So once we’ve actually created that information you’ll notice it refreshes and takes us back to the actual complaint module and it gives me some notifications that this has been updated. So, somebody else is in the system it’s working in the complaint module they would also see those notifications to say hey a new complaint has been filed that your actual group has access to and you can go out and look at it.

So starting with this specific complaint you can see that jumping through this we have some of the information we entered like Ethan. So if I wanted to jump out to Ethan’s a person account I could actually do that I could even then narrow down and start entering in information about Ethan. I could go in and add details about his address, I could go in and enter in his phone numbers or even his email addresses, I could then also maybe put a Organization association they put in the actual construction company that he works for. A lot of things can be injured so essentially out of the box you have access to all these things but you can restrict these tables or sets of metadata if you do not want to leverage them or you can make them optional.

Additionally we know that there’s a complaint that he’s associated to which is this complaint if he had multiple things that he was associated to you would see all of the different complaints or cases. Then we just allows us to jump right back into the complaint we’re working. So the ease-of-use and navigation around our case is really what you know our claim to fame is we really want you to be able to not only enter the information but be able to navigate the application very easily.

So let’s jump into kind of moving this on in the overall workflow. Let’s assume that someone is a participant once again we can assign it out through what we call business rules or configuration rules and we have assigned it automatically to the investigator group. So this is where the participants are you do have the ability to create automatically what groups or what users have access to this and you also have the ability to add additional participants.

Well since I’m part of the actual investigator group and the admin group I have access to assign this to myself or claim it. So I can actually click on claim and assign it to myself or I could ultimately go ahead and just leave it in the bucket and allow somebody else to grab it. So once again there’s a lot of flexibility and how you want to set the application up as a box that has example rules like you see here but once again it’s very easy to change this information.

So let’s just assume that the triage has happened we have done some basic investigation we’ve had conversations maybe with both Darren maybe we’ve had conversations with a witness we could add additional notes on the complaint, we could add additional documents or artifacts on to this complaint and we’ll talk a little bit more about that when we talk about case collaboration.

With that being said let’s go ahead and move this on in the overall workflow. We’ve created the case or the complaint and we’ve triaged it. We then now need to move it on in the overall workflow so out of the box you have the ability to convert this complaint and a couple of different disposition methods. You could additionally add this to a case so maybe there’s a case that already exists, maybe this is an additional complaint from from Ethan, maybe it’s a complaint from another employee from the same company you have the ability to add that to an existing case. You can also say hey no further action maybe this is needs to be stopped here we need to go ahead and close this complaint is nowhere no further action or even refer externally.

For today’s use case so we’re going to go ahead and have it materialize into an actual investigation. Due to time I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to assign this to myself but this could essentially be a review task or an automatic workflow that is assigned to anyone that you want to assign it or has access to actually approve a closure. I could as part of this task enter in details maybe I could say hey Matt review this specific complaint make sure everything is populated that you need to start an open an investigative case.

We also can add uploaded documents to support that. So we’re gonna go ahead and submit this off and basically we’re doing is we’re going ahead and we’re triggering because of the status change due a disposition of open investigation we’re actually triggering a workflow. The way you know that that’s happening couple of reasons you actually see that the status is in approval now, you also then can expand and go into your actual tasks and within your task you’ll see that there is a specific task for Matt to work on this and it’s active so since I’m actually logged in as Matt I can actually go and look at this specific task.

Once again if you’ve seen the complaint case task people organization module you know how the layout is we can actually get into the details of the task by expanding the actual task description. We also can see who it’s assigned to, we also can see what is linked to we can see that this specific task is part of a workflow that’s linked directly to a complaint, okay. That doesn’t always have to be the case if you do not have a link to a parent you will not see the high-level information in the actual ribbon here.

To show you where we are in the overall workflow this is a very simple use case it’s either an approve or a rework task as you can see here we’re in the review process of this process diagram you can see that we can actually go through either a rework or an approval and then it goes back through the process.

For simplicity we’re going to go ahead and just assume that this has been reviewed by Matt he’s comfortable with this being opened into a case and we’re going to go ahead and send it on for approval. This approval is going to do a couple of things it’s not only going to close out the task as a completed task and keep track of that it’s also going to close out the original complaint and it’s going to reference the new as you can see here then update it you’re going to see the brand-new case information associated to that complaint.

So once again a case will be complete come created and ultimately you can have a total different group that is assigned that as a default and let’s go through that process. Let’s go back to the actual complaint all I did was click on the actual hyperlink from the task and you’ll notice if I go into the details I can go into the task table and I can see this task is not only close but the case it’s are complete itself is closed and I also can now see there’s a reference to a brand new case file.

So let’s go ahead and look at that case file. Right there from the table a hyperlink to it as you can see we’re now in the case module and a left-hand navigation. So just to summarize we can wear it created a complaint we triaged it we’ve sent it over to be investigated we did the approval of open in a case for it and now we have a case.

So let’s talk a little bit more about what you could do on a case as it pertains to the collaboration. So collaboration you can do a lot of things of Braun collecting metadata you can add additional details we do carry over details from the complaints once again a configurable value we can carry over details, we can carry over the people associated. But at this point we can still collaborate and add additional information maybe we wanted to go in and add an existing person it’s already in the people database. So maybe I want to grab Kim Jones who happens to be associated to this as maybe the lawyer associated to this specific case. Maybe we want to go in here and add Darren as the wrongdoer or whatever. It may be we can search or even create new people right here on the fly and continue to build ArkCase.

Same thing from an organization perspective, maybe I wanted to go out here and find out if the construction company is already part of the organization so there’s no construction company currently associated. So I can go in and create a new organization if I wanted to. Skipping over the documents section which we’ll come back to you do have the ability also to control the participants associated this can be through the configuration rules or you can actually add a one-off person and put down what type they are, they are owner, they approve or they maybe have no access to this, maybe they’re just a reader that type of thing.

You can put additional notes in you can put in tasks whether they’re ad-hoc pestis associated to this case or not you can see the original reference back to the complaint that has been closed. You also can see things like the history associated so any history associated to this specific case so as we add documents, as we add notes everything is audited and shown here in the history section.

We also can track time which I’ll show a little bit later and you can track the time and cost associated to doing specific work around the actual case so if you have a an analyst or a paralegal or someone that is actually have a specific rate and charges their hours you can track that information. You also have the ability to track tag so categorizing your individual cases, complaints, documents you can add tags which allow you to search and the tags modules here at the bottom left.

So with that being said and giving you an overview of the case let’s to collaborate on a case I already have a case from earlier today that I want to use that I’ve build out a little bit more specifically the document section. So the document section can be set up in many different ways you can have a folder structure that is automatically created through configuration rules or you can have a way of having just a root folder and manually building out your actual folder structure to store, not only your folders, subfolders and documents but also correspondences and let’s go through each and every one of these.

So first off you can actually add a subfolder, so if I wanted to add a demo folder for today and then within that demo folder I wanted to add an additional folder maybe a subfolder to that, so let’s just call it a subfolder. Once you have had information you can then go in on any folder and right-click and add a document, once again another drop-down list it is fully configurable once again out-of-the-box comes out with some samples that you can utilize or you can manipulate and add your own. You also have the ability to add correspondences and we’ll do that here in a second, you also have the ability to control the participants and control on that individual set of documents on document management sections.

With that being said let’s go ahead and let’s open up one of these actual documents. As you can see or I have a lot of documents already in here there is no restriction on format or size or how many documents but you can see the information associated to what the actual format is what type of doctype it is, when it was actually created and then the version because we control all the version control on these individual documents.

So let’s go ahead and let’s just by double clicking we can actually open a document. Well that one is loading you also have the ability not only to add documents in the actual folder but you can do a lot of other things on documents, you can cut and paste them, you can email them out, you can create a new task all for one of many documents, you can edit it online, you can check it off on check it out and work on it offline. There’s a lot of things you can do in document management here and we won’t have time to cover all of that but you can do quite a bit.

As you can see or here’s a document once it and this is just a viewer that you can expand a full view tab through these. You do have the ability to work on the actual document by putting annotations whether it’s you know a text annotation maybe you want to put in specific highlights or even signatures or rubber stamps if I wanted to put a signature on once again these are all overlays, so you can actually basically change all that information as you do that so you can go through here maybe I put too many stamps on there I can actually change that information, I wanted to delete it I’ll do is right-click and just delete that out says yes you want to delete it. Once again I can do the same thing on each and every one of these and you can really control where you want to put this on the document.

Once again folio overlay does not affect the original version. You also have the ability to redact an area so if you wanted to redact an area you could do so. Once again still an over leg maybe you put it in the wrong location or you need to expand it you can do so and then you can actually save this information what it’s doing is it’s saving as an overlay on that version, okay. If you want to burn it so you can actually email out this copy and protect the data behind it you can actually go in here and you can burn the annotations. What that’s going to do is it’s going to go ahead and refresh to a new version and it’s actually going to burn the information into your actual document okay so as you can see or if I go back out to my document table and I look at that I can see now that that specific budget is now two of the second version of two.

I can roll back to the original version if I have the privilege to do that and see what the original one looks like with the annotations, okay. We also have the ability to not only work on existing documents and view those documents but we can upload new documents. So if you wanted to come in here and upload a motion to compel or whatever the doctype is we can actually go out we can look at a network drive, we can look at a local drive and we essentially can grab any of the information that we want to grasp. Let’s grab a document and upload it we can upload one or many as you can see here now we’ve got the motion to compel who uploaded it version 1. You can upload one or many documents, you also have the ability to right-click in search within the the system to find the documents that you’re looking for maybe it’s actually part of another case or just in the system somewhere and you want to put it on this case. You also have the ability to reference other cases if you decide to do that and then you can jump quickly to that and see the documents associated.

Additionally not only do you have the ability to add new documents, but you also have the ability to add correspondences. As you can see or this motions folder is empty but if I right-click on it and go to correspondences I can actually generate a motion to dismiss. This is pulling from my correspondences that I have as templates and my admin module and we’ll show that a little bit later. I’m going to go ahead and show you that not only can you show it in the viewer see it in the viewer you also have the ability to download it in native format this happens to be a doc or docx format and we’ll go ahead and open this up and show you what it looks like.

So now that I’ve downloaded I can open it up in Word format and you can see that it actually looks like an actual you know to a motion of dismiss of dismiss file and you can still add to it we can actually edit this and that’s what we’ll do next but some of the information that pulled in we pulled in the actual person’s name, we pulled in the actual case number things along those lines. So that’s where the mail merge or the templates are utilized when you add it to a case pulls in the data that you want want to be on that template and then you can edit it further before you send it out for say review or whatever it may be.

So let’s go ahead and right-click on that same document we can edit this online we can actually collaborate with simultaneous editing or we can actually check it off out offline and work on it and then check it back in. I’m going to go ahead and edit online basically what this means is it’s going to try to open up in the native tool which is work and this is not making me save it locally so if I check it out offline I have to save it locally work on it and then check a new version it. This is actually allowing me to to manipulate the existing version by just caching it locally and working on it.

So when I open this up it’s actually going to show you the information that we just saw in the view originally but it’s going to allow you now to enable editing and we can do a couple of different things we can either type right into the actual or what I’m going to do which is actually go over the review and click on track change this. I click on track changes I could come in here and maybe I wanted to put in some information like the company that’s associated with. Maybe I wanted to go in here and add you know a new section whatever it may be, maybe you want to copy and paste things in really the ability to do whatever word allows you to do you can do that.

Once you’re done all you have to do is hit save and close it out and we’ll go right back into ArkCase and save it a new version for you. So I go back into ArkCase we take a look at the motion, if I scroll down you’ll notice that now we can actually see that it is on version 2 of 2. Once again you can do check out what off offline you can also do online editing for PDF. So as long as you have some type of native tool like Acrobat you can edit PDFs also.

Alright with that said let’s move on kind of to the next type of thing you would do from a collaboration perspective. Maybe you have now created this correspondence document and you need someone to review it like and right-click it and create a brand new task, from there I can then send it out to ever want to send it out to so maybe I want to send it out to Sally so I select Sally in the group group she’s associated to I convinced that you know review this document I can set a date for when it’s due I can even send this through its own unique process so maybe all of the correspondence documents have to go through a tier 1 and tier 2 approval, maybe it’s a approval at the paralegal level and maybe then it goes up to Lourdes or whatever it may be you have multiple processes as it pertains to what process you want it to go through. So we’re going to go ahead and pick the doc and workflow which is a very simple workflow which is an approval or we rework.

Once again you can create your own workflows in our case and then tie those directly to these actions so you can actually customize it to meet your needs. Now that that’s being been done we keep track of all the tasks. So all I got to do is jump over to the task and you can see we actually have two tasks that are active for Sally right now, ones that review the document the other one was something we did a little bit earlier.

So jumping back into the actual document section there’s a couple of things that I wanted to show you. We have integration with AWS transcription service which means that we can allow you to upload rich media so there’s no restrictions on the format we allow you to upload audio, video, different types of rich media and then automatically send it out to the transcription service that AWS offers and we can transcribe that information. So this may not be something you use on a day-to-day basis, but it allows you to transcribe audio video and then generate a transcription document that can be used as an artifact in court or can be used as supporting information.

So let’s go ahead and open up one of our actual rich media files this happens to be a video file and it’s going to open up in the viewer we allow you to see the actual video in streaming which means that you can actually see the video and the actual transcribed text on the video itself. Not only that but you can also see the transcription associated. So we can see that this has been sent off and transcribed and you can see here in the transcription section that you actually have an actual control around confidence that’s controlled their configuration and admin and you can see that most of these sections have come back it’s pretty confident. If it’s not confident it will actually flag it if it’s under your threshold and then you can go in and you can actually click on correct it and you can correct this information, you can even jump to the 26 second in the video and actually type as you actually listen to the video.

So once again it’ll it’ll at least gives you to a point where it’s transcribed and automatically but allows you to still make corrections. If you make corrections and save that you can then compile that information and all it’s doing is it is creating a version one of that compiled information and it is putting it in your actual document section of that case, as you can see here here’s my transcription. So it’s just a word document it combines all the transcription of that video.

Alright that being said there’s one other thing that I wanted to show you specifically on this case and that is tracking time. We talked a little bit earlier about the time module and being able to track information against a case. As you can see here we have actually two timesheets one was entered by myself, one was entered by another user and we can see how many hours that they’ve actually burned and the cost for their actual hours per hour. If you jump out to the actual timesheet takes you right into the time module and then you can see the details of what that means.

As you can see here we’ve got multiple hours and we’ve got a charged role of analysts we’ve got the actual total cost and once again you have to link back to the original. So Matt can actually create this timesheet for this time period 6:24 to 6:30 and he can charge to one or many cases. I can charge multiple days in multiple hours for you know case 101 allows you could charge two other cases. I also have the ability to tie back directly to that original case by just clicking on that hyperlink and then I can see the high-level information associated at that time and any other time charge this case from any other user.

Let’s jump now kind of from the overall workflow before we show some of the other modules here on the left-hand side and show you how we can actually add, thanks to the document management section from other avenues. We talked about being able to email out of the system or upload a document or search a document. You also have the ability to use your email through the alfresco outlook connector to place a document within the actual document section.

Let me show you how that works. So let’s go back to the case we created today which has minimal documents and I’ll show you that there’s only one folder in here so let’s go ahead and create a new folder, so let’s just say demo. Now that we have a demo folder in here and there’s no document let’s jump out to my email and let me show you what that looks like. So any of you that ever used alfresco the out-breath scope connector is a very nice tool to allow you to expose the folder structure within the Outlook frame. So if I go in here you can see that we have obviously the site, we have the individual folders once again this would be your specific setup for your folder in your content, but as you can see here we have the case that we created today and we actually have a folder called demo. Within that folder there’s nothing in there but I very easily can take an email that maybe I got from Ethan or Daren and make it as a document or artifact within the actual art case application.

So as you can see there I went ahead and uploaded it you can see that there’s an actual email and an actual attachment. By doing that immediately I can go right back into the application and I can see that within that actual demo folder as soon as it syncs with it you will actually see that individual test demo or excuse me that test email within the actual demo folder which you can see there. I can then utilize this to send a task around that maybe review this email. I could also download it and pull it down in native format, so now this is an artifact on the actual case itself and you can see here’s the email. So once again you don’t have to be in our case to upload documents so it gives you the freedom to drag-and-drop to move things around just gives you another option of getting documents into the system. You also have the ability to right-click and maybe send this email directly into our case if you wanted to do that or just do the drag-and-drop. Once again there’s a lot of bells and whistles that we may not be able to cover today but there are a lot of things you can do just alone in the actual document management section.

So let’s go ahead and change gears and talk a little bit about the end of this overall use case. So just to summarize you’ve completed a complaint for Ethan he’s called in or emailed you triaged it you’ve actually opened it up into an open case you’ve collaborated on it for days maybe you’ve added tasks, documents maybe you’ve work through some collaboration with other folks on this case. Now we’re going to close it out as it being a closed case and the reason that we’re going to do that is we want to show you the records management side of the house where all of the documents associated get declared as records seamlessly.

So ArkCase is seamlessly integrated with Alfresco czar ma and i’m going to go ahead and show you without closing the case. I’m gonna go ahead and show you when I closed a little bit earlier today refresh this page it may ask me to log back in but this is the actual Alfresco share site and this site is only going to be for your records manager. So this is not something that every user will actually go and log in on a day to day basis, but your records management side of the house would basically manage all of their actual file and retention plans here in ArkCase.

As you can see here we’ve got quite a few documents that automatically got moved over to the file management plan, as you can see here in the folder here because it hit a status of closed case. So if i went in here and looked at this specific record it will actually show me some of the information or metadata around the the status you know how it was closed, what type of file management plan that it is actually a record that type of thing. So as you can see here we’ve got a lot of information it’s got its own viewer it can tell you you know that this has actually been moved over to a records management planet is being retained you can even put a retention schedule or rules around that and that it is DoD 5015 records management with the artifacts here.

Additionally to that you’ll notice that within the actual ArkCase application. If I actually go into the into this section, you’ll actually see and let me jump into the one we just looked at you’ll notice when I go into the document management section that some of this information has been declared. So whenever an actual individual case has been declared the actual documents will also be declared.

Let me jump back into the complaints module we also can declare the complaints even if they’re closed out and not made into an actual official record and let me just show you real quickly actually let me go in and sort my list as closed and investigation here’s the one we did earlier I can go into the document section and when I go in the document section you’ll notice that some of that information has been updated. So once again we keep track of everything not only on the ArkCase side but also on the alfresco side. This is what I was trying to show you here is that we have actually declared this one as a record so now you cannot manipulate these documents within our case because they’ve been moved over to the records management plan.

Alright, let’s move on to some of the other bells and whistles. We talked about creating complaints, managing cases, working on tasks, associated people an organization of those cases or complaints, but how do you find the information. So maybe we want to go out and look for maybe Ethan, I can look for Ethan this is going to search for any metadata or even any information within documents and then can narrow down that information maybe I’m looking for just the cases associated to him. Maybe I want to go out and look for say AT&T; maybe it’s the organization that I’m looking for. I can actually see that I can narrow down to the information that I’m looking for maybe the organization, organization Association as you can see this one organization and you have hyperlinks so you can actually go out and see the details of that organization by just doing one click.

Take you out to that place in the application if I uncheck the the actual facet or the categorizing of the individual information or search goes back to the original search. Also have the ability to sort each and every column so if I wanted to sort by a senior just descending order with a primary or secondary search. I also have the ability to hide columns so maybe I don’t care who the assignee is I’m go ahead and hide gives you a little more real estate. You also have the ability to export so export in the CSV so you can can manipulate in the information there in your actual excel sheet.

A lot of things you can do once again fully configurable to the facets that you have also allows you to dictate what information you want to reflect on the actual result set in the columns and that can be done per your requirements.

From a canned reports perspective I’ll run a quick couple of reports so you can see what those look like let’s go run for the last week and show you some of the information. These reports can be tabular reports they can be bar charts, pie charts whatever you want to or how you want to visualize your information as you can see here this happens to be a complaint disposition, how many were opened into a case versus that referred externally so on and so forth. Same thing with the and tabular reports, once again these are fully configurable these are just sample reports that come out of the box to show you the versatility of how you can do things. You also have the ability to export these or view these in different formats, so if you want an export in Excel and then and manipulate that data you could do that do that.

In just a minute we’ll go ahead and create a new report and show you how that works. We already talked a little bit about the time tracking so we won’t talk about that but before we get into admin the last one I want to show you is the tags module.

The tags module is what we talked about earlier where you can actually tag individual documents or cases or complaints with specific tags or categorizations that allow you to narrow down your information. So if you wanted the same thing that was tagged with criminal law you can see that in the results and then actually quickly jump out to that location.

Once again that’s a little bit different search than a search in the search module. Search module is going to cover the whole gamut all the metadata all the indexed information so this is a more refined search.

Alright now that you’ve seen the overall workflow and the bells and whistles kind of around search and reporting, how does the actual application really work, how do I get up to up and running the first day essentially. Once you’ve actually installed the legal management application you can go in and not only sync your Active Directory you also have the ability then to control those Active Directory groups who has access to those individual groups, you also then can tie those individual groups to what we call ArkCase role access or functional access control. This is what really controls the actual interaction in the application not the groups but the roles that are associated to the groups. We have out-of-the-box groups that are available or roles that are available to you and those roles already have privileges, but right away day one you can go ahead and remove all those and edit or create your own new role and then assign privileges. Specifically we use the administrator and the investigator as you can see certain privileges are authorized some are not.

So essentially everything is controlled through this role based access and the functional access control that you can essentially manipulate right here from the admin section. You also have the ability to control what modules you have access to as you can see here all the modules that you see may not have make most folks may not have access. So for instance going into the audit module you can see only some folks have it going into the administration module only the admin admin has it so if anybody else logged in that’s part of any of these other groups you wouldn’t even see the module on the left hand side.

You can control your dashboard configurations we talked about once again similar paradigm what roles have access to the individual widgets, any widgets that you create specifically to meet your requirements also would be exposed here and you can regulate them there. You also have the ability to create reports and load the report designer by clicking that it will open up a new tab and will allow you to create your own new reports and let’s just do that really quickly just so you can see how quickly you can actually spin up your own reports. We won’t go into great detail of building that report out but I want to show what the designer looks like because it’s extremely user friendly and and how you can do the different things associated.

So I want to create this time an interactive report but you can create analysis reports or trend analysis or – for words I’m going to go ahead and create an interactive report and you can actually create these reports off of many different data sources. So if the data sources were the our case database or even other systems that are out there you can still utilize this tool and create the connection to those individual data sources whether it’s a sequel query or whether it’s an actual ODBC whatever it may be to connect.

So once again this is more of a super user someone that would have to understand how to drag-and-drop and utilize the actual data source, this happens to be a specific table and as you can see it lists all the actual columns I have access to. So I could go in here and I could say well I want the actual actual case number in this report. I want that then to be maybe a group or maybe I want it just to be a column, then I can add additional information maybe I want to see the actual case creator as a column. So once again you can continue to add the information you can double click and in turn Nations let’s just call it you know legal.

Once we’ve got everything set up the way we want we could change the formatting we can change the look and feel we’re good to go we can actually save this as the report name we want it to be and actually save it right in to our file folder, as you can see there’s a couple of reports already in there we’ll go ahead and save that one and jump right back into our case you’ll notice there’s only four here but as soon as you synchronize legal is now available to you you’re gonna sign it out and that easily you can go right back into the reports module and run that.

So a lot a lot of things can be done around reporting creating canned reports or trend analysis or even dashboard reports. You even can schedule reports, you can change the timesheet configuration about the charge rolls, you can control your workflow which could we could spend a whole hour on just kind of showing you how you can control your workflow and workflows being triggered by specific forms or actions. You also have the ability to control your your labels or your look-up tables, we talked a little bit about your actual dock types your case types as you can see here this is just one of the many dropdowns, you can edit this by deleting or editing or adding you can even drag and drop the order you want things to be in in the drop-down.

So there’s a lot of control in the actual individual users hands. This is one of the things that is really important to one of our current customers the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as you have been utilizing this for a couple of months from for the ODC office and one of their biggest things that they love about and I keep hearing them emailing me about is how nice it is to be able to go in and make the changes they want to, not only dropdowns about labels. So we put the power back in their hands so when things change or come down from the top as it pertains to terminology or forms changes or drop-down changes they can do that on their own right here in the admin section.

Not only that they can change logos or even CSS at any one time right here in the application without having to call Armedia to make those changes. Additionally they can maintain all of their correspondence templates so email templates that they send out, document templates they use to generate for their actual cases and you can see here one of the actual templates we didn’t get a chance to use but I’ve built for this demo is an approval letter. So just an approval letter you can see that this is the template and you’ll notice it’s a template because it actually has the mail merge terms within the template and you can see it would have pulled in the date, it would have pulled in the first and last name and then once again you can still edit this, you can manipulate this add more merge terms you can see some of the static text. Once again you can have as many templates as you want we’ve shipped with quite a few samples so you can see the different variations, but you do have the ability to create your own templates and utilize the vast amount of merge terms to populate the actual mail merge within those templates so it populates as much data as possible to make your job much easier when you’re generating these documents.

The last thing that I have before I’m going to turn it back over to the question-and-answer time is the transcription. Transcription is an extra value add which means that you don’t have to use it you can actually turn it off completely by disabling it or you actually can have it enabled and set it so it’s not automatically sent off the AWS. Maybe it’s a manual action you want someone to be able to right-click and send a transcribe maybe it’s every once in a while you have an audio file or video file you need for the transcription you need to present in court you have the ability to control that also.

So we didn’t cover everything in admin or everything in the application but hopefully this was beneficial to you to show you not only what ArkCase can do but what you can do specifically in the legal management application.

Now with that being said I’m going to turn it back over to Lauren for question answers.
