At Informance we recognise the importance placed on law firms to know exactly how well their business is doing and which departments, branches, lawyers or matter types are performing best.

The significance placed on firms to meet financial key performance indicators (KPI’s) based on present and future results is vital if they want to increase their operational efficiency and profitability and gain competitive advantage. However, exporting and analysing information on accounts, case material, time-recording and fee-earners from a firm’s Practice Management System can be a time-consuming and often daunting task, especially if your firm is using traditional reporting methods.
