Frequently Asked Questions

Will Xcential install, configure, and customize LegisPro for us?
Yes! This is the essence of Xcential Services.

However, if you have a local partner or would like Xcential to recommend a local partner, we are happy to do so. We love working through partners.
Is LegisPro a fit for my IT team?
Behind the scenes, LegisPro is built on standard web technologies, with simple plugin options that give legislative IT teams more control over configuration and customization. We know legislative processes are never static – that’s why Xcential provides extensive developer training and support so your team can keep the application in line with changing user needs.
Why use legislative data standards?
The LegisPro legislative drafting and amending platform has been built to support Akoma Ntoso, the XML standardized data model for the world’s legislative documents, as well as the related U.S. federal standard, USLM (United States Legislative Markup). This means vastly improved legislative search and reporting, plus the assurance your legislative documents are maintained in an open, nonproprietary data format.
Why is configuration or customization necessary?
Every jurisdiction has rules about how to pass, manage, and consolidate law. Each with a unique history to support the rule of law.
‍
Configuration is the process of matching your rules, your documents, and your systems to integrate with LegisPro. This allows for efficiency through automation and document sythesys. This allows for correct by contruction. And it enables metadata to support automations, workflow, and historical traceability.
‍
Customization can be new applications to round out your legislative and regulatory solution. It could be add custom modules for multi-language drafting (as an example).
Can we prototype LegisPro before deciding?
We believe that once you begin using LegisPro, you will understand the power to draft with precision while automating manual tasks.
‍
‍Yes! Xcential can build a small system or prototype to help you evaluate need and correctly size projects.
