Client Intelligence: IT, Marketing and Library Services Unite
As a futurist to what law firms need to be thinking about, I am always excited about “out of the box” methodologies that can impact the marriage of technology, research and marketing. Over the last few years, as IT and marketing departments have played a more prominent role in law firms, IT departments have rolled out software programs to assist marketing with the capturing of basic client relationship information for mailings, law alerts, programs and the like while at the same time working in tandem with the library to upgrade their legal research tools. Happily, with the advent of solution-based client intelligence/relationship management products, a new method of delivering all of this information can now be aggregated in one interface. These products and services are specifically designed to provide better and clear intelligence on how to add value to existing client and new business relationships.
Picture if you will a software system that provides information solutions to law firms based on how they need and use information rather than the one-size-fits-all approach currently employed by most information providers ' a system that provides lawyers with client oriented information specifically tailored to the way individual lawyers work, and takes the “flood” of available Web-based information and leverages this multi-sourced data. Information needs to be pulled together from various resources within a firm. Most requests for existing client or new business information begins with the marketing department, whose assignment goes something like this: “We want to know more about our client X. We want to have an edge on getting to pitch for new business from client X. Client X will not think of us for this business unless we demonstrate that we have specialized knowledge about its business in this area so gather all the information you can including who our competition will be.”
