KnowAll Matrix

Enterprise solution for legal and corporate sector  information centres with high level requirements

Which legal library software package will suit your requirements?

Legal libraries vary greatly in their scope, operations, and needs. Some legal librarians simply need to accurately audit and efficiently organise their collections. Others need to monitor loans, and many are also required to create distribution lists, monitor subscriptions to periodicals and journals, and track finances.

While if it’s an enterprise solution you are looking for, we offer our powerful KnowAll Matrix to help you manage library and information resources, whether print or digital.

SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR 2022​

At the BIALL annual conference 2022 Bailey Solutions was presented with BIALL Supplier of the Year Award.
“This year’s winner has been quoted as “an extremely proactive supplier who are a joy to work with”. They have spent the last year moving all their customers onto new versions of their library management software products, a process which has been completed with minimal cost implications for those customers. They have provided a high-quality customer service both in the lead up to and during the data transfer, and when responding to queries as people got used to their new systems. Their great communication and willingness to provide ongoing training support was commended in several nominations this year. It has also been noted that they resolve any issue in a quick and efficient manner.”

Three good reasons to choose our legal library software
Under resourced?
We save your time with automated cataloguing from legal sources

You can use AutoCat to download bibliographic details like title, author, edition and publisher for books straight into your catalogue. Our sources include Google Books, Wildy’s and Library Hub Discover (formerly Copac).

AutoCat automatically creates one copy located in your usual library space. It also adds the front book cover image so lawyers can recognise your resources readily. Think of the time you can save!
Budgets under pressure?

We know that budgets are always under pressure, so we provide affordable legal library software that doesn’t compromise on quality


Buy only what you need. We don’t tie you into lengthy contracts: pay monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually. After the first 12 months you can give one’month’s notice before the end of your next payment term.

Lawyers in a hurry?
Give lawyers one search for print & electronic resources AND knowledge

It’s not just about print and published resources. We offer a single system for print and electronic, published and unpublished resources, external and internal knowledge. This means lawyers don’t have to think about which application to search. A unified search allows users to quickly find resources and improve their productivity. Give your firm the competitive edge.

Data Protection: How We Keep Your Client Information Safe​​

At our company, we take data protection seriously. We understand that protecting our clients’ personal data is of the utmost importance. That’s why we have a number of measures in place to ensure that our software and operational practices provide a secure environment for client information.
