High-Value Business Case Reporting Powers Business Intelligence Performance for Strategic Operations

HOUSTON, Dec. 5, 2008 - Datacert, Inc., the leading provider of legal operations management solutions, today released Insight, a powerful business intelligence solution for corporate legal departments. Using Insight, legal departments can analyze financial and operational data with a business-relevant discipline that transcends traditional historical reporting.

"Insight is a unique solution that empowers corporate legal departments to realize the full potential of their Datacert legal and IP spend and matter management solutions," stated Jim Tallman, president and chief executive officer, Datacert. "Finally, our customers are able to go beyond just answering the 'What have we done?' questions that traditional historical reporting enables and also answer the more difficult 'What should we do?' questions."

High-Value Business Cases
Insight provides a library of high-value business cases that are designed to address the unique, day-to-day challenges faced by corporate legal departments. Developed with Datacert's extensive domain expertise and industry best practices, each high-value business case leads users through a series of pre-configured, workflow-driven reports that provides a comprehensive, multi-faceted view of the historical data. This enables users to make much more informed decisions about future actions and manage their departments and resources more strategically and proactively. The resulting benefit is the information general counsel, legal executives and corporate counsel need to control spend, mitigate corporate risk and elevate the department's value within the company.

Insight Features
Insight, powered by industry-leading IBM Cognos, is a comprehensive solution that remedies typical report production "pain points" by including features such as self-service report creation, easy-to-customize report output and format and a library of out-of-the-box performance reports. Fueled by real-time data, these reports are presented in a familiar file folder interface that allows users of all experience levels to easily run, customize, schedule and share reports.

Dashboards provide visually-rich graphical reports that clearly communicate business patterns and relationships, allowing general counsel and legal executives to make qualified business decisions based on timely, accurate and relevant data.

Additional features include:

• Scheduled reports that can run automatically based on time or event triggers
• Role-based reporting
• Ability to publish reports across different workgroups
• Web services architecture with no footprint on existing in-house technology
