OutSec the UK’s online leading transcription company looks at an innovative way that one firm, Taborns, is looking to address the future of legal procurement. So has legal service procurement changed? Has your days of search, source and procure over – and how do you ensure you get value?
Business Leading Change
It was the global financial crisis of 2008 that saw businesses demand change to the legal services sector, especially in terms of legal procurement. Businesses wanted to see the sector adopt new strategies to:
- Reduce cost;
- Implement and use technology to improve efficiencies;
- Improve customer service and to receive faster response times; and
- Regulatory changes to open up the legal services market to competition.
The uptake of technology was one which took place with almost immediate effect. However, in time businesses in all sectors wanted a more nuanced approach, and this response to client needs from the legal sector plateaued somewhat in the proceeding years.
The Pandemic
As the Covid pandemic changed businesses’ working practices, with companies being thrown into the deep end, in terms of home working and virtual meetings, firms have also been forced to look at different ways of working in a “new normality”. Therefore businesses are looking at:
- Evaluating outsourcing options, and how those can be used to aid business continuity planning;
- Looking at efficiency and cost savings of internal processes versus outsourcing;
- The role of the traditional office and the need for such space in the “new normality”.
As the second wave of the Covid pandemic hits countries across the globe and the likely financial impact this creates, we look at an innovative way that one firm, Taborns, is looking to address the future of legal procurement.

Why is Dictation More Efficient than Typing?
Well, the simple fact is that we can all speak considerably faster than we can physically type:
“The average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute”.
A “good rate of speech ranges between 140 -160 words per minute.”
In other words, dictation is up to four times faster than we can type. Therefore, simply dictating a document is more cost-efficient, giving you more time to dedicate your efforts elsewhere in your business.
Therefore why not add OutSec as a business continuity option for your business? Accounts are free, you pay on a per-minute basis (rounded to the nearest minute) on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no contracts or minimum spend. What do you have to lose? Why not open an account today!
