DataCert Webinar to Focus on Reducing Corporate Legal Spend with Advanced Rules Engines

August 20^th Webinar to Discuss How Technology Can Automate Legal Billing Guideline Compliance

HOUSTON, Aug. 15, 2008 - Fortune^® 500 corporate legal departments often face the tricky task of ensuring that the hundreds of law firms they work with are following the correct billing guidelines when submitting invoices.

Since these guidelines can vary from law firm to law firm and thousands of bills are often submitted to large legal departments each month, manually examining each invoice for compliance demands an extraordinary time and resource commitment.

On Wednesday, Aug. 20, DataCert, the leading provider of legal operations management solutions, will host a webinar that discusses how technology can automate the enforcement of outside counsel billing guidelines and increase savings for corporate legal departments.

The webinar, titled "Using an Advanced Rules Engine to Maximize Savings and Streamline Legal Operations," will focus on how a rules engine can enhance spend management initiatives by applying a proven set of business rules to legal invoices.

The live, interactive event will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. CT, 12 p.m. PT.) General counsel, legal executives, corporate counsel and legal department directors are invited to participate. To register, visit www.datacert.com/learningseries.

Discussion points will include:

• An overview of how an advanced rules engine operates
• How to successfully implement a rules engine

• Understanding potential savings with a rules engine analysis

Speakers include Don Schad, DataCert's general manager of corporate legal solutions and Jared Lane, DataCert's director of relationship management. Their supervision has led to successful implementations in many of the world's largest legal departments, including 72 Fortune^® 500 corporations.
