HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Jul 15, 2014) - Wolters Kluwer Datacert, Inc. , a premier global provider of enterprise legal management solutions, announced today that Coca-Cola Enterprises Limited (CCE), the Great Britain subsidiary of Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc., one of the world's largest independent Coca-Cola bottlers, has selected Datacert Passport ® to enable its legal department to operate at a new level of excellence. CCE will implement Passport Legal Matter Management and the Passport Outlook ® Module to consistently and efficiently manage their legal matters and to help them achieve Lexcel accreditation. Introduced by the Law Society of England and Wales in 1998, Lexcel accreditation indicates quality in relation to a law firm or in-house department's legal practice management standards. Implementing Passport is part of CCE's strategic initiative to achieve this accreditation in 2014.
"We are very focused on providing our legal team with technologies that will enable them to operate in the best and most efficient manner possible and, ultimately, for the department to achieve a level of excellence that will be recognized by Lexcel accreditation," stated Paul van Reesch, Vice President, Legal, CCE. "Passport is a critical component to us reaching this goal because it will allow us to achieve a uniform approach to managing matters across our broader team, as well as increased visibility of key success metrics."
The Passport Outlook Module was a key selection criterion for CCE due to the increased ease of use and efficiency it provides to users. The module simplifies the way employees work by enabling them to perform their day-to-day matter management activities from within the Outlook email interface, where many are most comfortable working.
