Blue Screen secures specialised legal-tech offer
The LMS – Legal Management System is focused on credit recovery and legal case management from pre-litigation to litigation and is developed using Agile methodology and OutSystems technology.
With more than two decades of experience in the international information technology market, Blue Screen IT Solutions is a software development and systems maintenance company. The offer is supported by the LMS – Legal Management System, a legal case management and administration software, “designed to manage and monitor debt processes, making it possible to centralise all the information from pre-litigation to monitoring insolvency or recovery, including litigation,” explains Frederico Faria de Oliveira, founder and managing partner of Blue Screen IT Solutions.
Currently in its third version, the LMS – Legal Management System takes advantage of Blue Screen’s accumulated know-how, which allows the company to assert itself “as a specialist in the supply of legal-tech solutions for organisations that have a significant volume of legal cases being processed in their departments and/or that wish to outsource their handling to external partners,” he adds.
“It’s no longer just companies in the financial sector that need to digitise and transform their legal and credit recovery departments in order to achieve more effective recoveries.”
Handling credit portfolios
The LMS – Legal Management System is the solution provided by Blue Screen to handle credit portfolios in a segmented and large-scale manner through a configurable workflow engine, suited to size and needs, to streamline and facilitate the assignment of tasks between internal or external users and which can be scaled to groups of users when necessary.
Frederico Faria de Oliveira explains that this offer is available as SaaS (software-as-a-service), “in a subscription model per user, hosted on premises, in its own cloud or shared”. In its current version, the LMS uses technology “that revolutionises the credit recovery process: first, in the internal management of pre-litigation processes, and then, in the phase when it passes into the hands of the lawyers, allowing them to act together with the creditor, more closely, implementing automatic processes that involve all those involved in the process”.
The solution is currently implemented “in one of the main national banks as the main system for its credit recovery, legal process management and litigation areas”, and is used by various internal departments and more than 20 external law firms at the same bank. A reality that “has given it even greater robustness and suitability for this area of activity”, assures Frederico Faria de Oliveira.
In 2009, Blue Screen IT Solutions began developing the LMS – Legal Management System solution, together with a partner law firm, in order to streamline the collection of its fees and commissions relating to credit recovery. At the time, and in the years that followed, “this was a field typical of organisations whose area of activity lay between banking and finance”.
Currently, the company believes it has “very extensive knowledge of credit recovery operations in the banking, property, insurance, services (particularly water and sanitation services), distribution and retail sectors”. The head of Blue Screen argues that “it is no longer just companies in the financial sector that need to digitise and transform their legal and credit recovery departments with a view to more effective recoveries“. In fact, “many other companies, from a wide variety of sectors, feel the same need to keep up with the current economic context”.
Ensuring a differentiating factor
The founder and managing partner of Blue Screen IT Solutions knows that the driving force behind the LMS – Legal Management System “is internal user satisfaction”. In other words, “the focus on the client is always there, since the SaaS solution can be customised to meet the needs of the business”. But also because, on the other hand, “any needs can be met with customised developments, ensured by two great ‘heavyweights’ of the technological world, the Agile methodology and the OutSystems application development platform”, he added.
These two axes distinguish the LMS – Legal Management System, “not only the application itself, due to its robustness, but also the process of (eventual) additional application development and implementation”. It is an “extremely robust solution, perfect for large companies with a high level of complexity in terms of integrating data from various internal solutions“. The LMS also has the capacity to “centralise information from various internal departments and external service providers, guaranteeing unbeatable security and availability”.
