Hyperion Research is conducting a benchmarking survey of law firms related to workflow automation practices and technology. Business process management (BPM) - sometimes also referred to as “workflow” - is a powerful tool for law firms to improve operational efficiency, resource utilization and client satisfaction. From a process perspective, firms are working on a wide range of BPM opportunities, including new matter intake (NMI), conflict clearance, alternative fee agreement (AFA) approval, and others. While workflow is not necessarily new, the level of sophistication – both in process and technology—has improved dramatically over the last few years. This survey explores how firms are considering their BPM needs and their solution approaches.
