GLS Legal Technology Function Efficiency Report™ (Delivered)
A full report on how effectively your legal dept. is utilizing legal technology
The Problem
You are not using legal technology effectively.
Related challenges include:
- your team is looking at technology to help boost productivity
- your existing legal tech use is fragmented across the business
- not everyone really understands what legal tech is or its role
- no one in the legal team understands IT and for sure no one in the IT team understands legal
- core systems impacting legal (e.g CMS, SAP, etc.) are mostly procured by other business units
- understanding whether you can really automate your existing contracts
- knowing what you can and cannot really move to the cloud
- not performing due diligence can lead to continuing solution-related difficulties
- how can your legal technology interact with your existing IT ecosystem
- the need for better knowledge management solutions
- you need better remote working and online collaboration solutions
- starting with a basic document management solution would be a breakthrough
- lack of understanding with your IT solutions is undermining group legal/compliance standards
- to improve you must undertake a “current status” assessment
- you are not sure of what performance audit criteria to use
Wouldn’t it be great if someone could deliver to you a comprehensive report on your use of legal tech that allows you to generate actionable insights?
The GLS Solution
GLS Legal Technology Function Efficiency Report™ (Delivered) is comprehensive report solution delivered by GLS that helps you accurately assess your current use of legal technology, its implications and areas where you can effectively launch legal tech initiatives. Transforming the performance of your legal team will require a proactive legal tech agenda. To prepare this agenda requires a detailed understanding of your current legal tech usage landscape.. This report provides a data-based report of your legal tech usage landscape and benchmarks it against best practice.
With a particular focus on common legal tech pitfall and under-utilisations scenarios, in light of benchmark data, we are able to identify practical productivity optimisation strategies – with an emphasis on what is practical and what is known to work.
Our comprehensive diagnostic modules are deployed to your internal stakeholders via desktop surveys that generate thousands of data points – along with selective 1-hour long key stakeholder interviews.

- a powerful reference model of what your fully optimised legal technology function would look like;
- a detailed view of the critical resources that enable and drive a basic legal tech agenda;

- an assessment of the productivity consequences of your current legal technology usage landscape;
- best practice markers for key function features and basic recommendations on performance initiatives; and
- clearly identified and logical intervention/optimisation scenarios to drive function productivity.
This solution provides you the authority of an expert third party voice on the current performance your existing legal tech agenda in an objective and transparent manner. This makes it easier for you internally to justify the resources your team needs.
Critically, there are no ‘negative’ findings – just blueprint recommendations for your team to achieve better legal tech leveraged performance. Our optimisation recommendations are intentionally pragmatic and backed by performance data that speak to productivity strategies that actually work.
This solution helps prepare you to pro-actively face the future on your own terms and increase the strategic relevance of your team. To do so, you will need an “enabling” legal tech agenda. If you are serious about legal function transformation, this is an essential first step initiative.
