Client need
The Client needed to understand their spend and show the value of the corporate legal department, including how they spent their time and resources internally and with outside counsel. The client also needed to demonstrate how their corporate legal data could be transformed into business intelligence and presented to executive shareholders.
Client solution
By integrating three of the client’s internal systems, Epiq feeds the data into custom Metrics That Matter dashboards that focus on employment practices, spend, litigation, investigations, and compliance. The team takes the data, normalizes it, standardizes it, and converts it into business intelligence, creating interactive dashboards. Utilizing these dashboards allows the General Counsel to quantify and convey the value of the legal department.
Why Epiq
The client relied on Epiq experts to integrate data from multiple technology platforms. Epiq experts evolved the dashboards and helped the client gain visibility and control of their legal department activities. With Epiq’s support, the client’s business and C-suite reporting requirements were met.
