Rising to New Heights - Challenges:
For almost two decades, allnex relied on an in-house database for document management, facing challenges with scalability. The outdated folder-based system, initially suitable for smaller volumes, became labor-intensive and impractical for handling a larger number of requests.
In the context of allnex's internationalization, the legal department has a presence in four countries, but the current way of working and associated tools no longer meet the requirements to facilitate the global teams.

This significantly hindered the legal department's effectiveness. allnex’ vision for a modern database included enhancing user acceptance, minimizing daily administrative support, and ensuring seamless integration within the organization. Additionally, prioritizing data security and alignment with the IT architecture were deemed essential considerations.
