Eclipse have announced a range of new features for their popular case management system:

 New Probate module… Proclaim®’s Probate case management module has been re-engineered to provide a wide new range of fee earner tools.  In addition to extended reporting functionality, automated calculations and a ‘3-click’ navigation system, the new module provides automatic completion of the IHT200 and IHT205 forms.

 PCOL (Possession Claim Online)… Proclaim®’s repossession modules can now provide a direct online link to Her Majesty’s Courts Service’s online service for claimants and defendants.  Data can now be validated and uploaded from Proclaim® at a mouse-click, and will serve to further streamline processes for practices involved in volume claims.

 Graphical Workload Monitor… Proclaim®’s ‘Workload Monitor’ tool has been enhanced to provide ‘at-a-glance’ graphical reports.  Workload Monitor provides live fee earner performance statistics for supervisors, enabling analysis of trends, bottlenecks, under-utilised resources, etc.  The new development introduces a range of graphical tools, offering even faster and more user-friendly analysis.

 Dynamic Database… The Dynamic Database (DD) tool provides a ‘bridge’ between Proclaim® and complementary third-party software systems.  Using protocols such as ODBC, the DD enables export of user-defined data and tables from Proclaim®, to be imported into the external system.  Platform-independent, the DD enables this data to be utilised in toolkits such as, for example, Crystal Reports, or in cross-platform instances such as when utilising a Microsoft SQL system.  In addition to this data flexibility, the DD also provides a secure environment and negates the chance of corrupting any live information, making it an ideal toolkit for scenario testing and manipulation.
