What the users say about Atlas
Our lawyers need to find information fast, so being able to bring together our knowledge into a 'Google like experience' with Atlas, has been highly valuable for Stradley.
Sarah Hirebet Director of Knowledge Management at STRADLEY RONON
Stradley Ronon aimed to revolutionize knowledge access but faced major challenges with their existing intranet. Only 16% of employees used it for legal work, and almost 75% struggled to find information. Content was outdated, search rarely offered helpful results, and collaboration defaulted to email. Microsoft 365’s built-in tools didn’t provide the structured knowledge management, search, or analytics they needed.
Solution
After an extensive evaluation, Atlas was chosen for its ability to overlay Microsoft 365, offering federated search, intuitive knowledge access, and a dynamic space for collaboration. Branded Stradosphere, the platform transformed knowledge management, integrating multiple content sources.
Results
With Atlas, ‘Gold Standard’ knowledge is easily discoverable. The Stradley team now accesses information quickly, reducing email reliance and improving productivity. Robust analytics provide insights about how users are embracing pages with visual learning graphics and process maps, driving a positive evolution in training.
With Atlas, Stradley Ronon has built a future-proof knowledge platform that supports collaboration, AI-driven enhancements, and firm-wide efficiency, all of which helps Stradley lawyers put their focus on providing excellent client service.
Futures
Looking ahead, the firm plans further AI-driven search improvements, use of Atlas Fuse and deeper Microsoft Teams integration.
