"The monthly review of bills is also often the best time to check to see if a project is on track.
As a result, sophisticated ebilling/matter management systems present not only bills, but also key information regarding spending versus budget, the latest status reports from outside counsel, summaries of law firm staffing and the most recent estimates of exposure.
Instead of pulling the file and spreading out documents on your desk as
you review a bill, the latest ebilling systems can save you significant time by putting this information one click away. 'The month before beginning ebilling it took me seven working days to review our paper bills,' said Craig Bohn, chief intellectual property counsel at Semitool, Inc. 'The next month, it took me only two hours to approve the same volume of bills coming through Serengeti.'"
