Content Agility for Legal Information Services – A perspective and TCS Offerings
Legal Information Service providers, now, are more pressed than ever to process larger data sets and provide timely actionable knowledge through multiple delivery channels. The providers using product-centric content strategy and legacy content management systems are not being able to maximize the value of their content. To cater to the growing needs of knowledge-driven legal professionals, service providers need to move to a content-centric strategy and introduce agility in managing their IT systems. This paper presents an overview of the challenges faced by the Legal Information Service providers and the TCS Content Agility roadmap for transforming their IT systems to meet the current market needs and emerging demands.
Introduction
Prior to the advent of electronic research, for rendering legal advice, the sole source of knowledge was physical documents. Lawyers and their staff used to spend a considerable part of their time in researching physical legal documents to get the relevant references to build cases. Librarians and law students used to spend considerable time in the library to locate the desired information. Since the legal profession is knowledge-driven and the knowledge requires frequent updating with the continuous changes in legislation, rules and verdicts of the courts, locating the right information was time consuming and costly.
The Internet age has certainly made it easier and less time consuming to locate the relevant cases, statutes, references to treatises, law articles and other relevant references. But with an ever-increasing number of data sources, explosive data growth and lack of universal citation standard, the Legal Information Service Providers face a significant challenge in maintaining coverage, depth and relevance of content. It is therefore imperative for Legal Information Service providers to deliver the services across multiple delivery channels with more speed, accuracy and effectiveness. Legal Information Service Providers have to move from traditional product-centric approaches to efficient content-centric approaches to address the challenges that legal professionals face. Content Agility is the change agent for transformation in an expeditious and efficient manner.
