Prevail Case Management System

N/A
Prevail in Orlando offers the Prevail Case Management System, a legal case management system for attorneys wanting to integrate matter management with contact management, a billing system, and other integrated modules.
This product is well suited in the use case that I provided before: when it comes to onboarding employees and providing a clear channel for decision making for human resources, this is an excellent tool to accomplish that. I would say the weak points is when you have back and forth communication with users that it might seem a little redundant to have that back and forth communication in that scenario.

Prevail software is well-suited for tracking all interactions in each client's case. It keeps all information easily at hand. The version we use is cloud-based, so the information can be accessed from anywhere an internet connection is available. The area, where we would really like to see improvement, is if it would work directly with Gmail, as it already does with Outlook.

Document merging, so numerous communications templates (letters and emails) can be merged with the appropriate names and addresses for a particular case and the items are ready to send within seconds.
Prevail tracks a history of interactions on a case, so you can find a record of every letter, email, phone call, notice, hearing, etc. on one page.
Prevail tracks all billing on a client's case, including billing from the firm, from care providers, other service providers, etc.
Tracking, particularly when collecting signatures through connected applications, such as an ATS, is not always clean or easily traceable.
Formatting documents to handle electronic signature types (signatures, initials, etc.) is not always easy, and highly dependent on the partner's technology.
It is not convenient to have to use DocuSign as a stand alone product if the signatures are required for 3rd party applications. It definitely excels on its own, but the scope of that usage, at least for us, is slim.

It would be nice if Prevail worked directly with Gmail instead of just with Outlook.
It would be nice if it was easier to adapt reports or set up new ones.
It would be nice if all attachments to a client's file could be placed in that client's set of directories so the items could be easily found, even if Prevail was not running.
I can't imagine doing business without DocuSign now. I would never want to go back to the way we used to do things. The "new way" is "the way" is "the right way." We can honestly be proud of a "one right way" process and not have to suffer through "5 ways for 5 days."

Generally user-friendly once you have command of the basics, but also has a lot of nuances that can make it difficult to train others on. DocuSign University is a helpful tool, but understandably a lot of content to get through to become a well-versed user. A lot of different functionalities but only a few I use on a weekly basis.

It's great, except for the lack of working directly with Gmail. As I've already mentioned, the document merge feature is excellent and saves countless hours of typing. The cloud-hosted option is liberating in that you don't have to make sure you have, in your briefcase, every document you'll need for a meeting, hearing, deposition, etc. And the statute date warning feature is also important.

I'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours

Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.

Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.
There has never been anything that we could really compare to Docusign. We have tried sending documents in a PDF version, but that was not nearly as efficient. DocuSign saves your signature in the system and uses that as it goes through your documents.

We've had Prevail for over 10 years. We checked into other options and, while some had certain features we were looking that Prevail did not have, we decided that overall, the features we wanted were not worth the time and stress of changing case management systems, so we decided to stick with Prevail.

Moving to a case management system 10 years ago increased efficiency by allowing us to access our information remotely.
Also, the document merge feature saved countless hours of preparing communications, of various types, individually, as now the process is automatic.
The statute notification feature is especially helpful from a peace of mind perspective, knowing there is nothing out there that's about to bite you, procedurally.
