Use Your Data To Control How You Spend
You can’t manage what you can’t measure. Counself Insight combines decades of outside counsel management expertise with trained machine learning algorithms for faster, more actionable, and more consistent spend visibility. Our proprietary technology studies patterns, connects dots, discovers opportunities, and recommends Alternatives Fee Arrangements (AFA) and other creative cost-saving options with clear visibility into projected savings.
Here's How Counself Insight Works
STEP 1. INGEST AND CLEAN DATA
You can’t make good decisions with bad data, so we engineered Counself to scrub and polish your data warehouse for you. Integrate Counself with your Matter Management System or feed your billing data from Excel/flat files. Counself will clean the data, analyzing and classifying your spend - down to the most detailed invoice line items.
STEP 2. EXTRACT INSIGHT FROM DATA
Counself will perform an extensive series of algorithms and comparisons of your matters, vendors, timekeepers, rates, roles, and activities. Instead of just generating hundreds of charts and KPIs, Counself will take your priorities into account to give you recommendations in simple English with supporting facts and numbers. Get the big picture of your total spend in unique visualizations and generate detailed PDF reports for each of your firms, timekeepers, and more.
STEP 3. TAKE CONFIDENT ACTIONS
With Counself Insight, you will get access to the stories your data has been trying to tell you. Whether you want to ask existing firms to increase efficiencies by optimizing staffing or to search for opportunities with new firms, you can use its recommendations to build data-driven business cases.
As a bonus, easily begin your next step processes with ease. Pick a request template, attach, and edit Insight’s recommendations, send your request to the selected firm(s), and let the system collect and filter proposals. Counself Insight is a great complement to Counself RFP™, which streamlines the proposal process so you have offers in front of you but in days.
