Before RainMaker Legal Software

After RainMaker Legal Software

The firm’s enterprise accounting software did not have flexible, efficient reporting capabilities; particularly when they had ad-hoc report requests from partners. Ad-hoc information requests were virtually impossible to produce. Using the former legal accounting software system, basic reporting capabilities were inflexible, difficult and cumbersome. The accounting department was responsible for manually extracting information for their monthly ad-hoc reports, and then transferring that information into an application such as Microsoft® Excel. On average, the accounting department spent 12 hours a month re-keying information from report type to spreadsheet. The transfer of data from report type to spreadsheet often resulted in inaccurate reports.

RainMaker’s accounting and billing software streamlined a once complex and cumbersome reporting process. Through the use of the custom report builder, the accounting department is now more responsive to partner ad-hoc requests. To satisfy all partner ad-hoc requests, the department now runs 15 reports from RainMaker’s software and then consolidates them into three reports. Also, RainMaker’s solution eliminates possible errors due to transferring data from report type to Excel spreadsheets, since all of the functions are automatically condensed by the system.

At the end of the day, the law firm wanted to document measurable savings after the implementation of RainMaker Platinum legal accounting and billing software.

Save time and improve performance with RainMaker Legal Accounting Software for Law Firms.

Due to RainMaker legal accounting software’s flexibility with advanced reporting and editing capabilities, the firm’s accounting department, who utilized the accounting and billing software most, reduced the time they spent on manually editing and re-keying monthly and ad-hoc reports. Brenda Barton explains, “On average, the accounting department reduced their time manually re-keying of data by one full month per year.” Also, because RainMaker’s software consolidates multiple applications into one function; information is entered into the system correctly the first time.

The custom reporting options offered by RainMaker’s legal accounting solution reduced the time spent on ad-hoc reporting, on average, by one half day per week. And, in addition to the numerous reporting capabilities now available, the department is able to use the advanced and flexible reporting to identify budgetary issues, assist with professional liability applications and year-end tax audits.

As a direct result of implementing RainMaker legal accounting solution, the accounting department runs more efficiently. "With RainMaker, my firm has become more efficient and accurate in terms of reporting capabilities," states Brenda Barton, "as a result, we have saved the cost of one full-time employee who, instead of re-keying information, can be deployed onto other more meaningful tasks."
