Karlsruhe, October 22, 2024 – The latest Vendor Selection Matrix™ from Research in Action has identified stp.one as the winner with its Enterprise Legal Management solution, Knowliah.

Additionally, stp.one received the highest scores for customer satisfaction and the best value for money. Both the company and its products were compelling from both strategic and implementation perspectives.
Oliver Bendig, CEO of stp.one, stated: “Our vision is to simplify legal workflows and eliminate their complexity.

This empowers legal departments to transform their previously reactive approach into proactive business enablement. Those who embrace Knowliah shift from being a bottleneck to a business booster, opening up new perspectives for themselves and their organizations.”
