ABOUT IXIO LEGAL QSHIFT

Ixio Legal QShift is an innovative method of building your documents. QShift allows you to build the first draft of any document by selecting from your Best Practice clauses. Moreover, each Best Practice clause can identify (1) the author of that clause, (2) the author's commentary on the clause, such as what the clause is, and how it has been used before, and (3) the date the commentary was made. By organizing your Best Practice clauses, QShift saves you time in drafting documents - first drafts can now be created in less than 20% of the time it used to take!

QShift also enables you to control your meta data. With the recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, electronic information, including meta data, is now a required part of evidence. QShift does not include "harmful" meta data that might be included in your documents that were created using the traditional "Open File - Save As" method.

QShift Staged Implementation Program

As part of its comprehensive commitment to law firms and corporate legal departments, Ixio offers its QShift Staged Implementation Program, which is designed to improve the efficiency of your work flow, improve the quality of your work product, and, as a result, improve your bottom line. The Staged Implementation Program is based on a simple eight stage process. The first six stages generally occur over a period of two to four weeks. If you are satisfied with your QShift experience, we then move forward with further implementation and expansion within your law firm or legal department. Here is how it works:

Stage 1: You identify the law firm practice group (e.g., corporate finance, real estate, wealth planning) or corporate department (e.g., legal, finance, employment, sales) and the QShift participants within your law firm or company.

Stage 2: You e-mail us your desired contract or other document that you use most often, or, alternatively, from which you plan to draft further contracts or other documents in the near future (e.g., lease agreement, independent contractor agreement). We ask that you select a contract or other document that will contain transaction-specific information, necessitating manual entry on the part of the drafter (e.g., names, addresses, dates, dollar amounts), commentary, and optional provisions or "clauses." We ask that you e-mail us any commentary or optional provisions that you would like included in the QShift model.

Stage 3: We build a model or "template" from the e-mailed document once you have pre-approved the associated cost. Once the model is built, we provide you complementary one (1) hour training. Then your firm or company uses that model to draft each new document of that type.

Stage 4: You select your desired training method. (Please refer to QShift Training Programs for training alternatives.)

Stage 5: You draft documents using the model in QShift and revise the model as needed or desired.

Stage 6: You assess your satisfaction with, and provide us feedback on, the QShift Staged Implementation Program.

>> QShift Staged Implementation Program™ Deemed Successful <<

Stage 7: We invoice you for the balance of the agreed upon cost for building the model.

Stage 8: We collectively plan further implementation and expansion of QShift within your law firm or company.

To get further details or schedule your firm or company for implementation, simply call us at 1.877.ASK.IXIO or email sales@ixio.com. We look forward to working with you.


ABOUT IXIO LEGAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE CONSULTING top 

Ixio provides professional consulting services for your legal document workflow process, called Legal Business Intelligence Process Design. We have assembled several document-related processes and tools into a Best Practices legal document workflow. This workflow also endorses the movement towards the standardization of corporate legal processes.

Our Legal Business Intelligence Process Design focuses on non-litigation legal document workflow in corporate legal departments. We can provide your organization with a Best Practice workflow for both transaction-based (e.g., sales, procurement, human resources, real estate, operations, and others) and policy-based (e.g., human relations, corporate governance, and government regulations) documents. Through interviews and on-site assessments, we can help you identify your current legal document workflow process. We then will provide you with an analysis of the differences, or gaps, between your current legal document workflow process and best practices, using the following control points:

Our analysis includes recommendations on currently available products and services that can help you "mistake-proof" the control points in your process. Finally, when you implement these recommendations, we can help you integrate these products and services in your department.

ABOUT IXIO LEGAL OEM top 

For our Ixio Legal OEM partner programs, QShift can be customized to fit your needs. We have two options available for you: private labeling and customized adaptations.

Private Label

Corporate legal departments who want more people to build documents now can do so with a custom look and feel! With an OEM version of QShift you can create your own look and feel of QShift to fit your company's image using your own language, color, and schematics. By allowing others to easily draft their needed legal contracts from your customized forms, it will help you and your clients to meet deadlines each time. If you want your contracts administrators or sales executives to build documents, you can have your own customized identity. Or, if you want to create your own storefront to sell your content, you can incorporate your company's existing brands and website designs.

Pricing:

Customization

We can adapt Ixio Legal QShift to your custom legal document work flow styles. In order for us to do so, we first require a Joint Application Development (JAD) session with us. We use the JAD session to identify your current legal document work flow process, and to provide an analysis of how your current work flow process varies from Best Practices. We also make recommendations of how to integrate legal technology tools (not limited solely to Ixio Legal QShift) to improve portions of your current work flow process. For more information, please see our Legal Business Intelligence Process Design services.
