August 21 2023 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
Today, Aderant releases version 8.2 SP3 of its flagship practice
management software, Expert, used by the majority of the largest
law firms around the world. This latest release brings significant
enhancements to Expert Billing, including new and improved features
for the Paperless Billing module, and integration with Onyx,
Aderant's new Outside Counsel Guidelines (OCG) management solution
powered by its AI, MADDI. This update underscores Aderant's ongoing
commitment to evolving the Expert product line, ensuring it meets
the multifaceted demands of the modern legal sector.
Bolstering Paperless Billing Capabilities
In recent years, the legal industry has experienced a paradigm
shift, with law firms transitioning en masse from traditional
paper-based billing to paperless systems. Aderant's Expert
Paperless Billing is at the heart of this change, aiding law firms
in their digital transformation journey. Moving away from printing
endless paper bills and waiting for partners to manually review and
edit them, firms can now automate the entire bill preparation and
approval process. With the complete elimination of manual data
entry, bills are processed more swiftly and accurately. Hundreds of
law firms worldwide have adopted Aderant’s Expert Paperless Billing
solution.
“Our focus is clear: offering law firms a seamless journey from
paper-based chaos to streamlined digital efficiency,” said
Aderant’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Cartrett. “Central to our
ethos is the belief that law partners should be empowered to work
more efficiently, saving their precious time and expediting the
billing cycle. Our latest enhancements cater precisely to these
needs, focusing on making bill review and editing more intuitive,
fostering better communication between partners and other bill
reviewers, and providing increased visibility and tracking. These
improvements are instrumental in saving partners’ time and effort,
enabling faster payments, and reducing costs.”
Key Enhancements to Expert Paperless Billing as part of the
Expert 8.2 SP3 rollout:
1. Make Bill Review and Editing More Intuitive:
Aderant introduces the new Paperless Billing Inbox, designed to
augment billing partners' productivity. This centralized interface
allows for seamless management of all billing tasks and prebills.
Advanced searching and sorting features enable users to
effortlessly locate prebills based on specific client, matter, or
bill attributes. With multi-column sorting, users can organize
tasks in their desired sequence.
2. Foster Better Communication and Collaboration:
Sharing and communication have been given a significant upgrade.
Partners can now seamlessly share tasks, monitoring reviews, all
the while retaining full ownership of the tasks. Complementing this
is the new Bill Notes feature, designed to facilitate communication
between partners and other bill reviewers. This means faster
approvals, reduced back-and-forth, and a more synchronized billing
team.
3. Provide Increased Visibility and Tracking:
Understanding the nuances of every billing modification is
vital. The new Bill Summary screen, directly accessible from the
Prebill List, presents users with a quick summary of all changes
made to a prebill. This enhances transparency, streamlines
workflows, and reduces potential billing disputes.
Ensuring Compliance with Outside Counsel Billing
Guidelines
Another notable advancement within Expert is its integration
with Aderant's Onyx – the industry's first end-to-end OCG
compliance platform. Powered by Aderant's AI, MADDI, Onyx automates
the entire compliance process from extracting OCG terms to
enforcing time and billing rules across all checkpoints. With this
development, Expert users can now better manage time and billing
rules, utilizing them to validate prebills and bills at the points
of entry, effectively reducing bill rejections and deductions.
Doug Matthews, Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Aderant, noted,
“The release of Onyx has brought about a transformative change in
how law firms manage compliance. We're excited to bring this
capability to Expert users through a tight integration between
Expert and Onyx. By leveraging the combined capabilities of Expert
and Onyx, firms can ensure compliance at a lower cost while
enhancing coordination across multiple functions. Ultimately, this
contributes to simplifying billing processes and expediting
compensation for law firms.”
“We are dedicated to consistently improving the experience of
our Expert users,” said Matthews. “Through attentive listening to
their evolving needs and ongoing innovation, our goal is to always
provide them with state-of-the-art solutions, empowering them to
excel in their daily operations.”
