Product Review: DTE Enterprise Time Entry Software
Founded in 1890, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. is one of the largest U.S.-based international law firms with more than 750 attorneys and 26 offices strategically located around the world.
Our timekeepers' time had always been tracked in CMS, our time and billing system. As the firm looked for ways to improve the time entry process, it became clear that an easier and more flexible time entry solution was needed. We felt that if we had a tool where our timekeepers could enter time when they were disconnected (eg, flying or from a hotel), that it would increase utilization. At the time, some of our attorneys were tracking hours in Excel or Word when on the road, and then e-mailing their time to their secretaries to enter into CMS. Others would wait until they returned to the office to enter their time. We thought it would be more effective, and that billable hours would be more accurately captured, if our attorneys could track their time while it was still fresh in their minds.
