Learn how UK Top 25 chartered accountancy firm HW Fisher used our custom development services to create a bespoke tool for their data deletion processes.

The Challenge

Top 25 UK chartered accountancy firm H W Fisher pride themselves on the personal touch with which they deliver their range of accountancy and financial advisory services. With clients ranging from high-profile entrepreneurial SMEs, to large corporates and high net-worth individuals, H W Fisher’s team process, manage, store and work with large quantities of client data. Therefore, as part of their ongoing digital transformation strategy, the firm aimed to streamline their iManage database management, searching for a solution to digitally replicate their paper-based records deletion process.

The firm sought to make it easier for their team to work compliantly, whilst reducing admin overheads and time spent on low-value tasks. H W Fisher found that existing solutions were unsuited to their budget and their needs, lacking the simplicity they envisioned for their solution. They began searching for an iManage Partner who could work with them to make their vision a reality.

“I really appreciated Tiger Eye’s collaborative approach.”
IT Director, HW Fisher

The Solution

The firm selected Tiger Eye for the project given their extensive iManage expertise, trusted team and partnership approach, all of which gave H W Fisher confidence in the project’s success. Using Tiger Eye’s continuous development process, the two organisations worked collaboratively to design an intuitive, powerful solution, developed around a data set exported from H W Fisher’s previous PMS. Unlike other deletion solutions, the tool was designed to delete Clients and their Workspaces, Matters and any related content selectively, or in bulk. All this is then run from defined criteria set by the user (in accordance with retention policies) from an accessible and simple interface.

As well as producing activity logs for deletion history, the user-friendly tool offers restoration functionality, mitigating the risk of accidental deletion. Will Baylis, IT Manager at H W Fisher, added “manually restoring documents from iManage is very time-consuming and difficult. The deletion tool’s restoration functionality makes the process much, much simpler, carrying out a very complex and difficult job easily and quickly, which is a real benefit for my team.”

Results

With testing completed, H W Fisher were able to delete over 11,000 clients from their iManage database in bulk within minutes. With confidence in the services provided, the firm have made plans to work with Tiger Eye on a number of future projects.
