Webinar Event: Streamlining Your Electronic Billing
September 25, 2007
11:00 a.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Presented by Alan Corcoran

Are you spending a disproportionate amount of time complying with Electronic Billing requirements?  Have you had invoices rejected because they were not submitted in accordance with the time guidelines set by the EDI vendor?  Are you worried about the Electronic Bill files "slipping through the cracks"?  If you'd like to reduce the time involved in submitting electronic bills, increase your visibility into the relative number of outstanding bills, and gain insight into common causes of rejection this tutorial may be of interest. During this 60-minute session we'll be discussing how template functions, Elite's VBA integration and Intranet programming can assist with the EBT compliance.

Issues To Evaluate:

• Control and security of EBI invoices
• Tracking of submissions, rejections and related deadlines
• Tracking of vendor and client compliance
• Efficiency of file generation

Processes To Consider:

• In-line as well as after the fact file generation
• Integrated Electronic Billing Options for Billing Operators
• Integrated logging/tracking software
• Separation of generating responsibility from monitoring responsibility

At The Conference:
Leveraging Business Intelligence Systems To Manage A Partner's Performance, Compensation and Expectations
Wednesday, June 27, 2007 from 10:00 - 11:30 am
Presented by Jeff Suhr

If you ask any financial director/administrator of a law firm, "What is the most challenging part of your role in the firm?" A popular answer might be, "Trying to manage all of my many bosses.the partners." What makes the legal industry so unique is that the "partner" often serves a dual role as both a "key producer" as well as an "equity owner". Therefore, the financial director is essentially tasked with managing, measuring, evaluating and forecasting the financial performance of his/her boss(es). This scenario exists in few industries outside of the Legal Industry.

This situation has existed for many years. However, advances in Business Intelligence technology have helped reduce the strain of these tasks on financial administrators by helping to automate some of these functions. This session will focus on how firms can leverage this technology to help measure partner performance, determine equitable "performance based" compensation while also helping to set future profit expectations. You will also learn how firms are adopting a "self service" strategy that brings this key financial performance information directly to the partner, and increases profitability as a result.
