Legal software company Aderant unveiled the next generation of business intelligence software, Aderant Spotlight Analytics. Spotlight represents a dramatic departure from prior BI products by enabling far greater adoption, deeper analysis and, most importantly, immediate action via Impact Technology™. Earlier this year at ILTACON, Aderant EVP Product & Strategy Mike Barry discussed Aderant’s belief that business intelligence technology is a critical tool for firms to continuously improve operations and boost profitability.
The 2015 ILTA Technology Industry Survey reported that 51% of law firms have invested in business intelligence, putting the legal industry ahead of the general business community. However, law firms have struggled to successfully adopt and fully utilize BI technology. The reasons include: complexity of the software, difficulty in data integration and the inability to take direct action. Firms tell of BI delivering interesting information but failing to trigger actions that result in business improvements. Aderant designed Spotlight to address these challenges.
