HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jeffrey Solomon, Head of Managed Services and Analytics at Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions, is featured on Bob Ambrogi’s widely followed LawNext podcast to discuss how corporate legal departments are using the power of data analytics to drive a more strategic approach to managing legal budgets and spend.
Much of the nearly 40-minute conversation is dedicated to the transformational insights being generated by ELM Solutions’ LegalVIEW database – the world’s most comprehensive legal spend database, which includes information from more than $150 billion in invoices. Solomon explains how that legal spend data is leveraged by ELM Solutions products such as LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer and Predictive Insights to help law departments derive greater visibility around outside counsel spend, promote stronger adherence to billing guidelines, and select the best law firms for a given matter.
“Analyzing legal spend can transform the way that corporate legal departments approach the daily practice of law,” Solomon says. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to share with Bob Ambrogi and the LawNext podcast how Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ LegalVIEW database is supporting that evolution by enabling more strategic decision-making and greater transparency around legal spend.”
Solomon has spent more than two decades consulting within the legal technology sector. His current role includes overseeing a team that leads innovation initiatives through ideation, market research, development, and go-to market for a portfolio of AI-powered products and managed services.
