A lot of data and documents are collected in every legal matter: correspondence, protocols, resolutions, research results, expert opinions, images, evaluations and invoices. With Matter Management from otris, you can keep track of and ensure a high level of transparency of all relevant information – crucial for the success of your legal department.
Fast and uncomplicated access to all information – always up to date and standardised.
Data and documents are clearly organised and easily accessible.
otris matter automatically monitors terms and reminds you of important tasks in good time.
With the basic elements of the solution, you can establish secure and user-friendly claims management in your company. Extensions and customisations increase the range of functions. The ultimate goal: a solution that precisely meets your requirements.
Digital case file
The digital case file is at the heart of the solution. For each new legal matter, you create a new digital file in which you store all information in a structured way. As in the ‘analogue world’, there is a file cover with metadata and file contents. You can open the documents in the digital file directly in the application without media discontinuity.
Search and Find
The integrated search functions in otris matter enable you to efficiently search the keyword directory. You can quickly find all files on a topic, all files on ‘your cases’ in a defined period or all files that have reached their deletion deadline. If needed, you can also search all document content using the OCR full-text indexing.
Collaboration
With otris matter, you can easily share information and documents in the matter file with colleagues and external parties such as lawyers or experts. The cumbersome copying and distribution of files is no longer necessary. All parties involved have browser-based access to the shared digital files.
Deadline monitoring
With the automated deadline monitoring function in otris matter, you can increase security when processing time-critical operations. The system notifies the responsible employees in a timely manner by e-mail and, if necessary, starts a reminder workflow to ensure that important deadlines such as objection or deletion deadlines are met.
Track changes
otris matter automatically logs all changes to digital files. This means that you can always see when and by whom data, documents or comments were added, changed or deleted. This seamless change tracking ensures complete transparency and traceability of all processes in your legal department.
Security and Space Savings
Paper files require physical storage space and are prone to loss or destruction. Digital files, on the other hand, only require a database – on your company server or in the cloud. With otris matter, you can protect your digital files with automatically generated back-ups on separate servers.
With otris matter, managing legal matters becomes more efficient and productive. Digital file management replaces time-consuming paper files and offers central and clear information storage. Our customised solutions make it easier to switch to digital files and support your usual filing structures.
otris has many years of experience and a deep understanding of the needs of corporate lawyers. Our software supports your usual filing structures and meets the specific requirements of your division.
After implementing otris matter, your legal department will benefit from numerous advantages. Digital file management simplifies operational work, increases the transparency and security of all processes, and ensures a significant increase in efficiency. In addition to its high technical quality, otris matter offers features that go far beyond pure functionality:
Simple usability through a well-thought-out software interface is the top priority in all otris developments. Despite the wide range of functions, working with otris matter is very easy to learn. The excellent usability of the matter management software minimises the learning curve for new users and thus increases user acceptance after implementation.
otris matter is a browser-based application that doesn’t need to be installed on the user’s workstation. The matter management system is platform-independent and can be easily integrated into your IT environment. Standardised interfaces enable seamless communication with existing systems. The web browser makes it easy to work with the system, manage it and customise the programme interface.
In order to adapt the range of software functions to specific requirements, companies choose one of the three software editions and combine extensions as needed. If additional requirements arise that are not covered by the standard range of functions, otris offers customised solutions. From simple data field extensions to complex interfaces to third-party systems – the architecture of otris matter is so flexible that even extensive customisations can be implemented with a manageable amount of effort.
Start at the departmental level and gradually roll out the matter management system across the entire company – with otris matter, this is no problem at all. Not only the range of functions, but also the number of users can be quickly and easily expanded. You can also start with a small, cost-effective cloud solution that can be cancelled at any time. Once you are satisfied with the system’s practicality, it is easy to switch to your company’s own server and expand the system. When you switch from the cloud to your company’s own server, all system settings, configurations, data, documents and processes are transferred.
On-Premises or Cloud – you can freely choose which variant you use. On-Premises means that otris matter is installed on a server in your company. With the Cloud variant, you access the servers of a secure data centre (located in Germany) and use the solution from there. In both cases, you work with the software via a web browser.

A central, digital and structured file storage system – for many legal departments, even the basic functions are a major step forward in terms of digitalisation and collaboration.

With the push of a button, you can generate reports that clearly show expenses and work performance.
The electronic signature makes it possible to legally conclude transactions based on digital documents. The integration of various e-signature solutions in otris matter simplifies the signature process.

If desired, otris matter can integrate a digital archive component. Files that you have created in otris matter can be stored in the digital archive for an unlimited period of time. The archive component that can be integrated into otris matter is certified by KPMG according to IDW PS880 and fulfils the requirements of commercial and tax law (GoB, GoBS, GDPdU).
