It can certainly be said that the ultimate value of any information management system lies in its ability to provide the answers needed to support decisions. That's why LAWTRAC gives you so many pre-packaged reports. And that's why we've made it so easy for you to create your own.
Go to your Dashboard
The LAWTRAC Dashboard puts 22 must-have reports right at your fingertips. These are the most common reports—the ones used by legal departments all over the world—and they're designed to get you immediate answers to your most pressing questions.
Which outside law firms are doing the most work for you? Who is putting the most hours into a specific matter? Which of your matters have the largest budgets? Where do you stand this year versus last year? How do things look for next year?
Dashboard reports cover, among other things:
• Financial information—budgets, costs by matter, invoice details, etc.
• Outside Counsel information—law firm lists, matter budgets, etc.
• Fiscal Year comparisons—matters opened, matters closed, matters by type, etc.
• Business units—open matters by product, by line of business, by cost, etc.
Variance reports
Virtually everyone in the legal department, at one time or another, wants to know the difference between what's been budgeted and what's been spent.
LAWTRAC's variance reports can serve up that information by matter, by law firm, by geography, by the department as a whole, or by any other way you can think of.
The report you need, when you need it
Of course, useful reports don't just come from the Dashboard. LAWTRAC makes it easy to generate just about any kind of report to support any kind of decision:
You can filter your open matters by type, by lead attorney, by division, by budget range, or any other way that gives you the view you need.
You can manage your law firm list, seeing which firms do the most work, deciding which ones should get more work and which ones should be dropped.
You can run reports that show you exceptions—what's missing, who isn't current, what matters haven't been reviewed recently.
You can answer specific queries such as: How many employment matters are open right now? What calendar events are coming up on which matters next week? Which firms have the expertise to handle patent defenses in Texas?
Think of LAWTRAC as having a report for any decision you need to make.
