LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer can now be used with an expanded portfolio of spend management solutions

HOUSTON, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global diversified manufacturer Flex has become the latest enterprise to engage Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions' newly expanded LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer service. Clients can now use BillAnalyzer's award-winning AI algorithm and invoice review team to grow cost savings and improve compliance across both Wolters Kluwer's platforms and an expanded portfolio of spend management systems.

"Wolters Kluwer places the needs of clients at the forefront of every innovation," said Jeffrey Solomon, VP & General Manager of LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer at Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions. "BillAnalyzer has helped corporate legal departments across a multitude of industries generate rapid cost savings and improve relationships with outside counsel."

Boasting an operational footprint spanning more than 30 countries, Flex approached ELM Solutions with the ambition of gaining broader visibility and control over its outside counsel legal spend. BillAnalyzer's highly sophisticated AI-algorithm – which analyzes each line of a law firm invoice for compliance with outside counsel billing guidelines – has been honed by exposure to billing patterns traversing 225 practice areas and 20 different industries.

"LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer complements Flex's existing legal workflows while also providing new insights into our outside counsel spend," said Melissa Zujkowski, Vice President, Corporate Legal, Flex. "We're excited about utilizing the power of AI in addition to ELM Solutions' team of expert bill reviewers to further enhance our legal spend management program."

BillAnalyzer is currently reviewing more than $4 billion in client annual spend, helping them to achieve their goals around savings and billing guideline compliance. The solution's unparalleled degree of nuance and insight benefits from access to the more than $160 billion in real legal invoice data contained in ELM Solutions' LegalVIEW database.
