Foundation Firm Intelligence Platform for Law Firms

Foundation Firm Intelligence Platform

Knowledge: The Foundation of Your Firm

No Silos with Foundation Firm Intelligence Platform

Law firms have an enormous amount of data that could be used to grow their business. But, it’s scattered among a number of data silos and business systems, including time and billing, HR, and generic CRM systems, and lacks the contextual information to make it meaningful.

➤ The Foundation data platform is the first and only solution on the market to aggregate, synthesize, and transform this information into usable and actionable Firm Intelligence.

The collective intelligence in your data platform can be leveraged by integrated Foundation applications, and is easily accessible to other firm systems and analytics tools.

Automated Knowledge Discovery

An extensible platform, Foundation passively collects information from your most relevant internal and external systems, so data is always up to date.

Transform and Normalize

Use mapping tools to synthesize disparate data sources and standardize nomenclature to create a clean, normalized data set.

Enrich with Valuable Details

Enrich your intelligence with AI enhanced matter profiling, triggered workflow collections, and defined approval processes to collect important details throughout the matter lifecycle.

Easily Configured

Authorized users can easily update Foundation to meet specific firm requirements. Add/edit fields, types, and profiles. No coding or technical resources required.

Flexible Taxonomies

Present data using firm-defined data hierarchies and taxonomies for matter types, industries, skills, and practice groups structured independently of legacy source systems.

Deep Data Indexing

Sophisticated indexing enables easy construction of complex searches across client, matter, timekeepers, and third party criteria, so you can quickly find what you’re looking for.

Enterprise Search

Improve effectiveness of your existing enterprise search tool by exposing Foundation’s rich meta data about matters, clients, timekeepers, and related third parties.

Intranet Portal Integration

Make Foundation data available to those who typically spend their time on the firm intranet. Publish matter, lawyer, and client details to your portal for firm-wide accessibility.

Ethical Walls

Confidential matters are protected by the firm’s policies found in common ethical wall systems.

Intelligent “Hub” Sync

Hub sync technology removes the challenges of managing data flow between Foundation and other internal and external systems, including backflow and monitoring tools.

Export Database

Scheduled exports to a simplified and normalized SQL database make it easy to include Foundation information in your firm’s intranet, SharePoint portals, or other firm applications.

Rest API

Use Foundation’s application programming interfaces and webhooks to integrate with other firm systems.

A Complement to Data Warehouses and Data Lakes

Foundation adds meaningful details and meta data to its cleaned, normalized data set that can be shared with other firm resources including your data warehouse and data lake.
