The honour for "Supplier of the Year" recognises Integreon's exceptional contract management and review services for Microsoft Corporation. This ongoing engagement involves Integreon teams in the US, UK and India working in close collaboration with the Microsoft in-house legal department for the legal review of almost 20,000 contracts per year in 15 languages across 160 countries. To support Microsoft's growing language requirements, Integreon created the LPO industry's first multi-lingual delivery centre in Bristol, UK. Today the Bristol team supports more than 50 languages for a range of legal process outsourcing services offered by the firm.
The honour for "Best Use of Technology" recognises Integreon's innovative use of Microsoft Lync among the firm's expanding global workforce of over 2,200 Associates. Since adopting Lync, Integreon Associates have been able to interact seamlessly across borders and time zones in support of the firm's global clientele. Integreon has the further distinction of utilising Lync for one of its corporate social responsibility initiatives - Project Edu-Lync, an acclaimed educational effort which has overcome great distances to bring together hearing and speech impaired students with vocational instructors from around the world.
"Our recognition as a finalist in the British Legal Awards reflects the creativity of our many Associates who are dedicated to delighting our clients with value-focused solutions to real world business problems," said Bob Gogel, CEO at Integreon. "We pride ourselves in continually striving to work smarter and more efficiently for our clients, as well as in support of our local communities."
Thomas Jaycox, Chief Information Officer at Integreon added, "From different parts of the world, we're able to work together in a direct, face-to-face manner in order to address challenges and make decisions faster. Microsoft Lync has been the right investment for us because it has given our firm the ability to increase efficiency while also providing us the flexibility to use the technology in new and innovative ways, such as we have done with Project Edu-Lync."
