UK law firm Shoosmiths triumphed at the Metalogix Best of Breed Awards this week, taking home the top prize for Agent of Change 2015 at a glitzy event during Microsoft Ignite in Chicago.

The award recognises the contribution of Shane Scott, IS Director at Shoosmiths for bringing forth a game changing technology solution to the business using SharePoint.

As a leading Microsoft UK partner and with over a decade of experience in delivering award-winning Document Management (DM) solutions, ClearPeople was selected by Shoosmiths to implement a best-of-breed DM solution that delivered tight integration with Microsoft Office including document and email management, to improve internal collaboration and efficiency across all of Shoosmiths’ offices.
