Organizations may be exploring the benefits of outsourcing some of their legal needs, but that doesn’t mean that in-house billing teams still aren’t open to receiving a technological assist now and again. To this end, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions announced Tuesday it has launched a new LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer Data Service that pivots AI and data analytics capabilities toward that very demographic.

The solution is a spinoff of the company’s LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer, which launched in 2017 and applies AI, machine learning and a Wolters Kluwer review team toward the problem of invoice management. Per Wolters Kluwer, the amount of legal spend moving through BillAnalyzer’s Expert Service has increased by sixfold since 2018, and the Data Service is an attempt to bridge a potential missing link in the chain: Organizations with their own billing review teams on staff who still want to make use of Wolters Kluwer’s AI technology.
