AbacusNext Wins UK’s Highest Award for Business

SAN DIEGO, May 08, 2018 -- AbacusNext®, the largest Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) provider for legal and accounting professionals, today announced that its document automation platform, HotDocs, has been named a winner of the 2018 Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, the UK’s highest accolade for business success. HotDocs received the award for achievement in International Trade in recognition of thriving overseas growth, accounting for an over seventy percent increase in revenue in the last three years.

Since 1965, the Queen’s Awards have recognised exceptional UK businesses who excel at international trade, innovations, or sustainable development—they are the highest official UK awards for enterprise excellence. AbacusNext and HotDocs representatives will be attending a reception at Buckingham Palace where Prince Charles will present the award on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. This is HotDoc’s second Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the first was in 2013, also for excellence in International Trade.

“It is a great honour for AbacusNext to have HotDocs earn Royal recognition and the prestigious Queen’s Award,” said Alessandra Lezama, CEO of AbacusNext. “This award is an extraordinary accomplishment that recognises the excellence of AbacusNext’s pioneering products and the tireless work of our amazing team on both sides of the Atlantic.”

“We are proud to have been named a Queen’s Award winner for the second time in five years. This achievement is a testament to the passion and dedication of our entire organisation and the success our sales team has had growing our business overseas,” said Gary Eunson, Global Sales Director for HotDocs. “The international appetite for HotDocs is undeniable, and we plan to continue our aggressive growth strategy in 2018 and beyond.”

The AbacusNext customer base includes representatives from virtually every type of professional industry, including legal, banking, insurance, finance, and the public sector. In all, AbacusNext products are used in over 60 countries by over one and half million end users belonging to tens of thousands of client organisations, including four of the top five US banks, 20% of the Fortune 500, and enterprises and agencies of all sizes.

HotDocs is the global leader in the document automation software industry and serves many of the largest companies in the world including RBS, CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang LLP, Thomson Reuters and the US Department of Justice.

AbacusNext is planning to build on recent successes and has an ambitious growth strategy for both domestic and international markets. Success to date stems from the fact that AbacusNext offers clients technology solutions that lead to better governance of complex document-generation processes, a corresponding mitigation of risk, greater compliance with existing rules and regulations, and a substantial decrease in operating costs.
