Market-leading solutions provider outlines what drives improved outcomes for legal bill review
May 27, 2021, Houston— The artificial intelligence (AI) that powers legal bill review is rapidly changing how corporate legal departments (CLDs) leverage technology to reach robust compliance and cost-savings expectations. To help them achieve their business goals, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions has outlined how CLDs can identify and differentiate recent AI advancements in its latest electronic book (eBook), “Not all AI is the Same – Understanding What Drives AI Leadership in Legal Bill Review.”
The eBook explores why better legal bill review with AI increases productivity, leads to more efficient workflows and positions businesses to drive better decisions overall. Additionally, ELM Solutions experts provide valuable insight into why AI still needs humans, how it helps companies navigate legal invoice challenges, and outlines key compliance program steps CLDs should make to provide maximum savings.
“CLDs want solutions that help them save capital, operate more efficiently, and deliver better business results. Incorporating AI and big data are two major initiatives these companies have used – with varying levels of success – to help them secure better outcomes, cost savings and compliance improvement,” said Barry Ader, Vice President, Marketing and Product Management, ELM Solutions. “CLDs and their businesses need to be able to leverage innovative technology and expert support to help them reach their goals.”
Companies also need to understand the symbiotic relationship between good data and high-performance AI as they consider the latest legal bill solutions. Ultimately, success is contingent on reliable data and having confidence in its accuracy, completeness, and consistency. Businesses must have clean data that will allow them to best position their business for the future.
“Most companies are sitting on large amounts of data, but a sizeable portion of it is erroneous or incomplete. Overall, there is not enough information to provide meaningful actions,” said Ader. “Our AI-powered solutions, like the award-winning LegalVIEW® BillAnalyzer, address these issues by extracting and leveraging the most important data from our LegalVIEW® database, which includes more than $140 billion in legal spend. Our products, backed by the information that powers them, are simply unmatched.”
With its patented AI technology, LegalVIEW® BillAnalyzer helps clients see up to a 20 percent increase in billing guideline compliance. Last year, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted ELM Solutions patent #: 10,733,675 for the groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology behind the award-winning solution.
AI leaders working at ELM Solutions include more than 100 data scientists, 400 compliance professionals and 50 compliance experts. The company’s expert legal bill review team averages more than 13 years of paralegal and attorney experience and 200 hours of specialized training.
