Access Group Recent Developments
To help estate agents reduce the average time it takes for a property transaction to complete, and reduce fall through rates, in March 2023, Legal Bricks has launched its new portal - LB Property, which will speed up the time between buyers agreeing a purchase and conveyancers being instructed, as well as improving communication throughout the property sales journey.
In April 2021 Access launched its new legal software division, Access Legal, promising to help the UK’s most ambitious law firms achieve their potential through a powerful suite of technology. The launch follows the acquisitions of case and practice management providers Eclipse Legal Systems and DPS Software in 2020, as well as The Access Group’s previous acquisitions of legal online training, compliance, and risk management solution providers Riliance and Socrates.
In 2020, Access Group has responded to the Covid-19 pandemic with the launch of a new cloud-based CRM to help smaller charities function remotely. Access NFP CRM is designed to help charities manage service delivery, fundraising, and communications as they navigate the challenges presented by Covid-19. The Access Group‘s Access NFP CRM can be up and running within days, and, like a CRM, the system removes the need for spreadsheets and time spent on emailing and admin tasks. Being cloud-based, teams can securely and remotely access the information they need at any time, making collaboration easier, and freeing up time for charities to focus on their key objectives.

Access Group Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
It's impressive to see how Access has seized the APAC market opportunity and rapidly expanded its operations in less than three years. Achieving over A$200 million pro forma revenue in such a short time frame is a testament to effective strategic planning and execution. The key acquisitions of Definitive, FastTrack, and Vincere in FY22 have evidently played a significant role in bolstering Access's presence and capabilities in the region. With over 1000 employees now dedicated to executing expansion plans in APAC, Access is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory in the region. Such rapid growth and establishment of a strong workforce underline the company's commitment to capitalizing on opportunities and delivering value to its customers in the APAC market. This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about Access's agility, adaptability, and strategic foresight. Eight months since The Access Group opened its new Global Operations (GO) Centre in Timişoara, the business has seen huge progress in the skills development of its teams and created more than 430 jobs in Romania. The opening of the new office in May ‘23 marked the next phase of global expansion for The Access Group. The Access Group began its Romania journey in 2018 when it aligned with Intelligent Software Systems (ISS), with 106 employees at that time. Since then, the team has continued to grow, developing ground-breaking solutions such as Access EarlyPay and Access Workspace from its vibrant offices in both Timişoara and Arad.
