ELM solution capabilities typically include matter tracking, legal document management, e-billing, legal spend management and analytics, and workflow / collaboration support. However, there is increasing support for workflow automation and data aggregation through systems such as human capital management, financial management, and document management systems. ELM solution providers automate and facilitate tasks and processes related to legal and compliance duties of in-house counsel, external law firms, legal technology providers, and legal processing outsourcers (LPOs). ELM solutions are a niche product with legal departments as the user and buyer. The goal usually is to improve efficiency and effectiveness by utilizing one or more of the solutions capabilities. However Gartner Form Rev. 03/22/2012 Page 2 Project Rev. 6/24/2016

3 Oakland County Department of Information Technology Project Scope and Approach Project Name: Corp Counsel Assignment Workflow Improvements Project ID: DJ6115CL estimates the adoption rate of ELM technology is at 20%, with many organizations still favoring excel spreadsheets and homegrown solutions. The two things that could drive higher adoption include shifting legal work from law firms to in-house counsel since the 2008 downturn and digital business adding compliance and regulatory complexities. There are three main factors that are causing general counsel to run their legal departments more efficiently. First the scope of in-house legal services is expanding. Second, legal departments have been asking to do more with less. Third, data breaches and the associated risks have been accelerating. Due to rising costs, legal departments are now left with measuring the efficiencies using performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). This is possible through the use of LEDES; a standard format for law firms to generate bills. Much of this legal spend and billing data has been anonymized by vendors and can provide industry benchmarks. More work is being taken on by the by in-house counsel from outside counsel, which is changing the needs of the department from a solution perspective. In a recent Gartner survey one-third said they did not use packaged solutions, 15% used homegrown solutions, one-third said I do not know, and the remainder had either packaged ELM solutions or GRC platforms with ELM capabilities embedded. Not mentioned but equally important is that in-house counsel is also looking into self-serve enabling technologies, which are delivered through software as a service. The following is a list of vendors represents those in this solution space but is not considered an exhaustive list: doelegal s Ascent; Legal Suite s GaLexy; LexisNexis s CounselLink; Mitratech s TeamConnect, ecounsel, Lawtrac, Law Manager, and Collaborati; Onit s Onit Enterprise ELM App Suite; Thomson Reuter s Serengeti Tracker, and Wolters Kluwer ELM Solution s Passport, Tymetrix 360, and Legal View. In-house legal counsel has many different recommendations for the market space of ELM solutions. First, Move away from spreadsheets and homegrown solutions as ELM requirements get more complex. Second, Assess the current ELM process status. Evaluate current legal spend metrics against industry benchmarks. Third, require providers that are tied to in-house counsel to adhere to a set of data and privacy protection standards. Form Rev. 03/22/2012 Page 3 Project Rev. 6/24/2016
