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.

It is becoming more apparent that technology is a two-edged sword, helping in some ways and hampering productivity in others. Have you ever worked with someone whose desktop looks like they have every application available open multiple times? I am constantly amazed that someone can keep track of what they are doing and don’t get lost with multiple spreadsheets, emails, enterprise applications, and documents open, or do they? Are multitaskers really faster, better, and more productive?
Organizations that are starting their first foray into process automation, retiring an older technology or limited workflow currently in use, can sometimes be overwhelmed by the sheer flexibility and power presented by today’s Business Process Management suites.
I've recently been following several online forum discussions about eBilling and the increased focus on electronic invoicing as a method of cost effectiveness and process efficiency, both direct and indirect. I find these discussions interesting because of the passion expressed by most posters about a topic I frankly considered passé. Essentially, the majority of posters on these threads either lament the failure of eBilling (a 12-year experiment with little relative adoption) or herald the intrinsic business value of standardized electronic invoice transmission formats (and in particular the wealth of data they provide).
