Matter Management System Selection (Request More Info)
Selecting and purchasing a new software system is often a daunting task that leaves many wondering where to begin and how they can be confident they are choosing the right system to meet their needs. This workshop is designed to assist law departments in developing a plan of action for purchasing a Matter Management System. Participants will gain greater knowledge of the Matter Management systems in the marketplace to determine which meet the needs of your department. Learn how to: assess risk, establish project goals, identify requirements, generate an RFP & evaluate vendors and products against critical Matter Management requirements.

Matter Management Tune-Up (Request More Info)
Is your law department unhappy with its Matter Management system?
Too often law departments misinterpret lack of return on investment as a failure of technology. This workshop focuses on teaching techniques that will allow your law department to quickly assess the health of its current matter management system and enable you to improve it by realigning processes, increasing usage, and improving data integrity. Participants of this session will learn the "3 meetings and 30 days" approach to developing a prioritized and actionable list of improvement initiatives.

Data Integrity (Request More Info)
Despite the best intentions, many still feel they can't fully rely on their "central" data without checking it against another source. This workshop is designed to assist law departments in assessing electronic data that is lacking in integrity and developing a plan of action to improve it retroactively and moving forward.

eBilling (Request More Info)
Electronic billing solutions have been gaining popularity in the corporate legal community for the past decade due to the benefits they offer in enforcing compliance with billing guidelines, decreasing the time and expense of processing invoices, and accurately identifying trends in legal spending. Still, selecting and purchasing an electronic billing service is often a daunting task that leaves many wondering where to begin and how they can be confident they are choosing the right system for their needs. This workshop is designed to assist law departments in developing a plan of action for purchasing and implementing an eBilling service, including its impact on participating law firms.
