Microsoft + Legal360: Changing the way law firms think about CRM
BACKGROUND
• Artificial Intelligence
• Machine Learning
• Predictive Analytics
• Gamification
• Automated Data Harvesting and Contribution
• Business Development Plans, Pursuits & Pipeline
Even in the legal market!How Times Have Changed in Business Development
CRM is ToughEspecially in legal!
“64% of CRM Implementations don’tmeet the expectations of the business”
(Gartner reports)
45% of Legal360implementations are CRM
“re-starts” or “re-implementations”
Failure64%
Success36%
Net New55%
Re-Starts45%
• Unnatural use case scenario for lawyers (no perceived value)
• Solutions were too complicated (not a very high threshold)
• User adoption was a huge challenge
• Security and privacy were major concerns
• Limited data and concerns over data quality
• Communication challenges in multi-office, multi-practice firms
• Valuable client, matter and contact data was siloed
• Empty CRM database with limited users = (not optimal)
• Decreasing use of Outlook contact card files
Traditional CRM Challenges for Law Firms

client relationship strategies?
Yes, definitely Probably not Not sure
Microsoft + Legal360: Changing the way law firms think about CRM
RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES
Let’s Keep it Real
Lawyers are busy!• Many don’t enter contacts into Outlook, which
is where most CRM systems pick those up• Many don’t enter data into CRM
CRM has been difficult in law firms• Not user friendly• Too cumbersome to enter data
Data has been inconsistent• Garbage in = garbage out!
The Impact of Outlook Auto-Fill
Historically, CRM systems are integrated to Outlook emails via an Outlook contact card file.
The problem:Nobody creates Outlook card files anymore due to Outlook auto-fill!
And therefore contact and relationship data doesn’t make its way to CRM!
The Need for Email Signature Scraping
Q: Where is the most up-to-date contact data actually stored? CRM? Outlook card file?
Answer:An Email Signature
• ERM describes practices and tools that lead to a 360-degree view of interactions with a contact (clients, partners, industry contacts)
Introducing ERM & Relationship Intelligence
• And use algorithms (AI) to score relationship strength and identify weaknesses
• Relationship intelligence turns this data into actionable insights that your team can use to strengthen relationships, adapt pursuit strategies and win more business!
• ERM tools can:– Automatically harvest data from key business systems– From Outlook (emails, meetings, activities)– From Time & Billing software (matters, experience) – Other data sources (bios, eMarketing platforms)– Create connections throughout your firm– Who knows whom?– Who has worked with whom?
