for legal texts. This core is supplemented by two optional modules for Web and paper
publication.

The consolidation tool
The Progilex consolidation tool is used to structure a body of legal texts. At the end
of the consolidation process, you have the substantive law of any given legislation
(national, special, etc.) and earlier versions of the texts as well as hyperlinks between
the documents.
The 4 steps of structuring Key productivity factors
Legitech has defined a standardised consolidation Progilex��s technology and simplicity make

3. The documentalists insert markers that will
produce hyperlinks. At Legitech this task is also
performed by experienced data entry operators.
4. The legal specialists carry out quality checks
before approving the document. They add any
relevant key words, a summary or comments.
Some of these tasks are also performed
by experienced documentalists.


Workspaces
The workspace in which you wish to work can be selected from
a drop-down menu. Progilex can manage an unlimited number
of dedicated workspaces and, if necessary, a single text can
be shared by several workspaces.

Document status
When a document has been extracted
by one user it cannot be edited by another
user. This function guarantees the integrity
of each document and makes it possible
to trace any changes made back to the user.

and to choose between open access and subscription formulas.

The Legitech point of view
A tool that can be tailored to any strategy
The Luxembourg legal sector is made up of a limited number of highly
specialised players. In a limited, segmented market of this type, our Web
strategy has consisted in building up the number of websites accessible
by subscription. In response to the specific features of the national
market, we focused our development on commercial law with three
websites, Legitax, Legiwork and Legicorp specialising in tax,
,
labour law and company law respectively.
Progilex is a comprehensive tool that can be implemented as part
of radically different strategies: single or multiple websites,
free or subscription-only access. It also offers the option of starting with
a general site and subsequently dividing it easily into specialised sites.
To determine the use most suitable to your situation,
your objectives and your market, do not hesitate to seek
our advice. You can benefit from the experience
we have acquired in our home market and
by analysing strategies developed
in other countries.


The Code tool
With the Code tool you can publish books automatically based on content structured
using the consolidation tool. Once the database has been created, all you need to do
is update it regularly so that you can publish a new, up-to-date version at any time.

and the generation of updated works on request.
