TyMetrix Legal Analytics Puts Big Data to Work to Manage Legal Spend
(firmenpresse) - HARTFORD, CT -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/12 -- The bottom line matters in business -- and in the legal business, an increased focus on its importance is changing the industry. Today, corporations expect legal departments to operate with an eye toward cost-efficiency, while law firms are searching for new ways to deliver value and maintain their profitability. There is now a solution available to help legal professionals use "big data" to drive efficiency and profitability. TyMetrix, the global leader in intelligent solutions to better manage the business of law and a part of Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services (CLS), has unveiled a new business called .
TyMetrix Legal Analytics aggregates tens of billions of dollars in global legal spend and performance data in LegalVIEW™, the world's largest permission-based contributory data warehouse of legal performance data. Combining these data with unparalleled analytical and legal domain expertise, TyMetrix provides benchmarks, models and insights to law firms, legal departments, and all professionals involved in managing the business of law.
"Other industries like healthcare and engineering are already using big data to inform business decisions -- an approach that is equally viable for the legal industry," said Dr. Silvia Hodges, principal, . "It's all part of a systemic change in the business of law. The buyers and sellers of legal services need greater control over the bottom line and an understanding of what drives it. The only way to get that is by creating an information advantage through data mining and analysis."
When mined and leveraged, a company's data can drive intelligence that can improve performance throughout the organization.
For Corporate Law Departments, Legal Analytics provides:
Better, more actionable intelligence to aid in rate negotiation and outside counsel relationship management
Industry insights into matter costs, durations, staffing profiles, and other data to help budget and design successful AFAs
The framework for managing key matters, tracking spend and analyzing performance against plans
The tools needed to predict expenses and resource requirements
For Law Firms, Legal Analytics provides:
Insights into what law departments are willing to pay, before negotiating rates
Clear understanding of a firm's competitive positioning with regard to rates and better insight into what is driving expenses and profitability
A framework to position a firm's value from the competition
The tools needed to make informed decisions regarding rate structure and service delivery model in a rapidly changing environment
Companies generate more data than ever before and the capacity to store it continues to increase, which means more internal and external data is available for analysis. It's what you do with this data and how you leverage it that creates opportunities and can ultimately change the landscape of a business, according to Richard Flynn, group president and CEO of Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services.
