Tiger Eye, the leading iManage partner for knowledge and technical expertise, have on 19th October announced the release of the latest update added to Tiger Eye Blueprint: the Knowledge Management tool for iManage. Building on Blueprint’s administrative functionality, Tiger Eye have incorporated Microsoft Power BI reporting into the system’s capabilities to empower knowledge leaders to better report on knowledge activity.

The update will enable firms to interpret their Blueprint usage and engagement data visually, for example generating comprehensive reports on active users, departmental activity, document engagement and more. With Blueprint integrated directly with iManage, the new reporting capabilities will also demonstrate nomination and submission rates for users nominating knowledge from iManage to Blueprint using the system’s one-click nomination process. Malicious behaviour reports can also be generated using the new functionality, to warn system administrators of potential knowledge leaks, for example if knowledge is extensively downloaded when a leader leaves the firm.

Apperio, a provider of legal spend analytics and matter tracking software, today announced a new spend dashboard that provides law firms with a live view of their work-in-progress (WIP), accruals, and invoice data - similar to the view Apperio already provides their clients. This dashboard now offers law firms a centralized view of legal spend across all their client accounts that are connected to the Apperio platform.

"Many of the legal spend products on the market today weaponize data and play one side against the other, which stokes an adversarial relationship between in-house teams and their law firm partners," said Apperio Founder and CEO Nicholas d'Adhemar. "By contrast, this new dashboard feature puts law firms on the same page as their clients - fostering greater transparency, trust and collaboration between in-house and external counsel."
