Iken is proud to introduce Iken Connect, a new case management solution built to transform the way legal and public sector teams collaborate, communicate, and manage cases. 

Iken Connect is more than just an access point. It is a dedicated collaborative portal—a secure interface that empowers internal teams, external collaborators, public sector partners, and even citizens to interact with live casework, securely and intuitively. 

Whether it’s sharing documents with a legal firm, updating a citizen on the progress of a housing case, or allowing a contractor to upload essential documentation—Iken Connect provides a consistent, structured, and secure experience across the board

The Council aimed to streamline its legal operations to improve productivity and engagement among its legal staff. By adopting Iken Cloud, the Council has significantly reduced the time spent on administrative tasks, allowing fee earners more time to focus on their core responsibilities. The system’s comprehensive reporting suite has enabled the Business Support team to speed up the production of billing data and provide a richer set of management information on demand. 

With Iken Cloud, fee earners have greater autonomy and can manage their own cases more effectively. Iken’s user-friendly interface allows users to open cases, track progress and generate reports independently. This has fostered greater engagement, with fee earners feeling more in control and accountable for their workloads. As one fee earner remarked:

“Iken Connect is the result of deep collaboration with our clients, focused on removing friction from case management. We set out to create a secure, intuitive portal that doesn't just support Iken Cloud users—it empowers every stakeholder in the process. From internal staff to citizens, Iken Connect brings clarity, trust, and productivity to legal operations across the public sector.”

Solving Sector-Specific Challenges 

Designed in consultation with our clients across local authorities, universities, and housing associations, Iken Connect addresses longstanding operational issues: 

Internal teams can now reduce administrative workloads and improve productivity by automating routine updates and task management. 

External partners such as legal firms and contractors benefit from real-time access to relevant documents and case information, cutting out delays and duplicated effort. 

Citizens and clients enjoy a simplified and guided experience—whether uploading files or tracking their case status. 

All of this is powered by secure, role-based access and automated workflows that ensure information remains accessible, but controlled. 

What Makes Iken Connect Unique? 

Efficiency Through Automation

Reduce admin and boost productivity with automated workflows, status updates and reminders.

Seamless, Secure Collaboration

Share documents, assign tasks, and provide real-time updates across teams and organisations. 

Simplicity for Every User

Whether you're a case manager or a citizen, Iken Connect offers a clean, intuitive user experience. 

Built for Integration

Iken Connect will evolve, with future enhancements like API integration and collaborative document editing. 

Transparency That Builds Trust

Every action, task and update is tracked and visible, improving communication and confidence. 

The First Step in New Connections 

Iken Connect launches as a core product under the new Iken Connect brand, which will continue to evolve. We’re already developing future capabilities—including API access, case instruction submission, and integration with SharePoint and Google Drive. 

Our goal is simple: empower organisations with scalable tools that improve case outcomes, collaboration, and client trust.
