Technology is a critical enabler of corporate law department operations.  Two foundational systems used by many companies are electronic billing (e-Billing) and matter management.  Historically these two systems have been considered separately, with different vendors and stand alone installations.

The market for these systems, however, has changed significantly in the last five years.  There has been significant convergence, both in terms of how law departments are considering their needs and how solution providers have developed their systems.  These systems are now considered together, with e-Billing and matter management represented as modules in the law department’s broader management system platform.    While this trend is still emerging, we find that law departments are more often seeking integrated capabilities that support their increasingly sophisticated management needs.  Accordingly, vendors have responded to the market by expanding their systems to include both e-Billing and matter management in broader solution offerings.
