Author: Rick Lavers, James Sheets, and Rob Thomas
Year: 2006
Description: Once the purview of large law departments and insurance companies, ebilling is entering the mainstream, thanks to inexpensive, web-based systems requiring no installation of hardware or software. Fifteen percent of ACC’s small law department members have adopted ebilling, with an other 15 percent planning to do so soon. What is driving the rapid adoption of ebilling in a profession that is notorious for slow acceptance of new technology? Savings and control. Law departments with ebilling report savings of 5 to 15 percent or more of their outside legal spending which, when compared to system costs of 1 percent or less, make a compelling business case. Law departments gain control by having instant access to what they are spending and where. Find out whether, and how, to make ebilling work for your department.
