Further enhancements to Precedent H production

In addition to revealing new Proclaim features, the event was memorable for the unveiling of Eclipse's product vision. Chief Software Architect, Steve Ough, comments:

"Our product vision is focused on accessibility and the provision of multiple entry points. Law firms are increasingly requiring different types and different levels of software access depending on the fee earner or client involved.
