> **Pros**: Shakespeare software is daily used in our work for managing legal cases. It helps the users to have better overview of their tasks and status of legal cases. Software is also integrated with our courts, so it saves a lot of time and reduces operational risk, as it automatically tracks the development and status of certain legal cases. Additional integration with our core system is also possible, to even further automatize the manual work and focus really only on content of legal cases, instead of a lot of administrative tasks.
