How Does AIMS Work?
The diagram below depicts the e-billing and legal spend management solution. Invoices are securely submitted by law firms/vendors/agents and are automatically validated by the audit and compliance engine for adherence to the client's outside counsel guidelines and specific fee arrangements. Invoices are then dynamically routed through invoice review workflows and, once approved, post to the accounts payable, matter management, or other back-end systems. Within AIMS, timekeeper, budget, accruals, and matter narrative collaboration features streamline the exchange of data with outside counsel, while reporting tools facilitate comprehensive analysis of legal spend and outside counsel performance.
DataCert is the premier global provider of legal operations management solutions, including legal and IP spend and matter management solutions that can be purchased and deployed individually or as a fully-integrated suite. Our solutions deliver significant return on investment, support business on a global scale, and have empowered DataCert customers to reduce costs, drive efficiency, enhance collaboration, improve visibility into spend and risk, and, ultimately, make more strategic and proactive business decisions.
DataCert Spend Management
AIMS provides corporate legal departments with the tools and information to cut costs, gain visibility into legal spend, streamline the invoice approval process, and more strategically manage outside counsel relationships and legal department resources. A key feature of the AIMS spend management solution is its audit and compliance engine, which performs an automated audit of invoices to help eliminate time-consuming invoice review activities.
In addition, AIMS offers a highly flexible automated invoice routing and review process that can be tailored to support each customer’s unique business processes. AIMS’ ability to automatically and consistently enforce outside counsel guidelines and streamline processes drives significant ROI while freeing legal personnel to focus on higher-value activities. AIMS also includes a collaboration module that streamlines communication with outside counsel and globalization-related features that support the use of multiple currencies and enable local regulatory compliance (e.g. VAT compliance). And, with Insight reporting, legal spend data becomes actionable information that empowers corporate counsel to make well-informed, strategic business decisions.
