Former DocsCorp head Ben Mitchell has started a new role as chief operating officer of UK-based software and services vendor Novaplex, which specialises in template management, document restyling and document metadata cleaning.
Mitchell, who for the past year has worked at SaaS practice and case management vendor Tessaract, was previously vice president of global commercial operations at document production vendor DocsCorp, which was acquired by Litera in July 2021.
Speaking to Legal IT Insider, Mitchell said: “Novaplex provides a comprehensive portfolio of document production tools in areas that have seen a lot of market consolidation in recent years. Novaplex is looking to restore choice to the market.”
Noveplex was founded over 15 years ago by CEO Michelle Langton. Its customers include BDB Pitmans, Browne Jacobson, Irwin Mitchell, Bech Bruun and Al Tamimi.
Mitchell said: “As chief operating officer I will still have a sales role, but they want me to have a big hand in product management, which in the last roles I’ve held has become a big part of what I do.”
