Scout, a business development agent for law firms by 3DH Consulting, is now listed on Microsoft AppSource as a Power Platform application with a 30-day free trial.
Why It Matters
Scout runs inside a law firm's own Microsoft 365 tenant. Every morning it reviews the regulatory and market sources the firm configures, matches what changed to the firm's practice areas and people, and delivers each opportunity into Microsoft Teams with the rationale, a suggested first move, and a draft the partner controls. Nothing is sent on a partner's behalf. The architecture is the point for European firms: a managed Power Platform solution deployed into the customer's tenant, data stored in the customer's SharePoint, no standing vendor access after deployment, processing within the customer's Microsoft 365 environment under Microsoft's EU Data Boundary commitments where applicable.
What To Do About It
If your firm runs on Microsoft 365, the test costs nothing: install the 30-day trial from AppSource into a sandbox environment, point it at the two regulatory sources your partners actually read, and judge a week of morning briefings against what your business development currently catches.
