A partnership that helped Magrath Sheldrick future proof its business

Magrath Sheldrick sought a more modular approach to its tech stack as part of its risk management strategy, and the search for a document management system (DMS) led the firm to NetDocuments.

For Magrath Sheldrick LLP, making a digital transformation was a massive shift. The firm had been using an all-in-one practice management suite (PMS) for years, but over time they realised that “it was okay at everything, but it wasn’t particularly outstanding at anything,” explained Magrath’s IT Director, Nick Doughty.

The decision was further accelerated when they learned that the PMS was going to end-of-life at the end of 2020 — not to mention the increased need for flexibility brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“It really forced us down a cul-de-sac where we had no choice but to replace it,” Doughty said.
