As the desire for legal operations grows beyond the Fortune 500, the need for legal tech providers to tailor their tools to this new market is following close behind. This rise in mid-size company legal operations has spurred technology provider Mitratech to offer a new version of its TeamConnect legal management platform—one more streamlined for out-of-the-box use.

Dubbed TeamConnect Essentials, the new SaaS solution takes TeamConnect and looks to simplify it. Rather than a tailored implementation, Essentials comes with pre-configured matter types, an invoice review process with rules engine that has billing guidelines, and a suite of analytics dashboards and reports that can help get handle on spend, alongside Microsoft Office plug-ins and other features.
