Introduction

Epoq delivers legal document solutions using Rapidocs®, our proprietary document and form automation technology, developed in-house exclusively for this purpose.

Rapidocs has now reached version 4, which brings advanced cross-platform browser support and allows live updating of text documents and PDFs directly in the browser with no plugins. It is fully CSS stylable and offers 'try before you buy' technology for organisations that are intending to sell document-based services online.

Rapidocs V4 guides users through 'intelligent' question-and-answer sessions, transforming their answers into tailor-made legal documents ready for immediate use, or for routing to a lawyer for review and approval.

The underlying technology is so sophisticated, and the Q&A process is so simple that anyone can produce complex documents and contracts using Rapidocs® V4 without any professional training. Guidance and advice is provided throughout the interview process so that the vast majority of queries that a user may have are dealt with immediately without recourse to an expert.

With Rapidocs you get the rare benefits of a highly innovative solution together with the stability of a tried and tested application (first developed in 1996). It is used by thousands of customers every month and over a million people since it was first launched, with an unequalled track record in the self-help legal document market.

To see for yourself how simple it is to create legal documents, you can watch an example of an Employment Agreement being prepared online through this simple Q&A process.

Workflow management

As part of our portfolio, we have also developed sophisticated content and workflow management, contact centre systems and customer relationship applications to complement our Rapidocs® technology. Together, these systems provide us with an unparalleled platform through which we can deliver a range of legal services over a number of channels.

For example, Rapidocs documents and forms are designed to be deployed on the web, CD-ROM or through Rapidocs-enabled call centres. In the latter case, Rapidocs facilitates call-centre operators in undertaking an 'interview' of a customer via the telephone, and creating a legal document without the customer even needing to access their computer.

Market leader

Due to its ease of use, security and versatility, Rapidocs® is fast becoming an industry standard, having been adopted by major law firms, corporate legal departments, leading financial institutions and international legal publishers. It is virtually unique in being targeted specifically at end-users rather than those with existing legal experience, and it is this which has enabled Epoq to become the UK's leading provider of self-help and assisted legal services.
