Key findings include: Has Elite peaked – are Aderant and Peppermint Technology now the ones to watch? + HP WorkSite now has a 63% market share but if you want a Microsoft alternative you need to be looking at Peppermint (yes, them again) + We have a new market leader in the timekeeping sector as Rekoop overtakes Tikit Carpe Diem and Intapp.

All this month’s wins, deals, swapouts & rollouts in the UK, North American, EMEA and APAC sectors including: another win for Rekoop + BT swaps out Lexis Visualfiles in favour of Tikit P4W + two Scottish law firms go with Sysero for knowledge management + Unisys adopts eCopunsel from Bridgeway for legal matter & spend management + Alston & Bird select Bellefield iTimeKeep for mobile timekeeping + Evershed go for Wax Digital web3 cloud-based contract management system in rollout to 27 countries.
Twelve Years After: Law firms were using what ?!?
We go back to the first ever Insider 200 chart in 2003 to remind ourselves of some of the IT systems law firms were still using back then. Computron, TMA and JHC for practice management anyone? And Meticulist for document management? Oh yes, and Hummingbird was the DMS market leader and iManage a mere upstart.
