This enables legal teams to measure turnaround times, document completion rates, and matter activity trends across offices or practice groups.

• Provides leadership with matter-level performance reporting
• Helps standardize service delivery across teams
• Supports client reporting and internal SLA tracking

3. Security and Access Audit Dashboards

Data flow: OpenText eDOCS to OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting

Feed eDOCS security logs and access records into Magellan BI & Reporting to analyze who accessed, edited, or shared sensitive legal documents. Compliance and risk teams can monitor unusual access patterns, review permissions by matter, and produce audit-ready reports for internal controls or regulatory reviews.

• Strengthens oversight of confidential legal content
• Supports compliance audits and privilege protection
• Helps detect access anomalies faster

4. Executive Dashboards for Legal Operations and Knowledge Management

Data flow: Bi-directional, with eDOCS providing content metadata and Magellan BI & Reporting publishing insights back to business users

Magellan BI & Reporting can show which templates are used most often, which versions are active, and where deviations from approved templates occur, helping legal teams improve standardization and reduce drafting risk.

• Identifies high-value templates and outdated content
• Reduces reliance on nonstandard document versions
• Supports continuous improvement in legal drafting processes

6. Matter Closeout and Retention Readiness Reporting

Data flow: OpenText eDOCS to OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting

• Accelerates matter closeout activities
• Reduces risk of incomplete archival packages
• Improves retention policy compliance

7. Cross-Office Legal Workload and Repository Activity Analysis

Data flow: OpenText eDOCS to OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting
