The law firm of the future took a digital leap forward

What are the benefits of rigorously executed projectization and automatization for a law firm?

 "The first benefit is obvious," says Lexia's Chairman of the Board Samuli Koskela. "Many cases requiring the services of lawyers are associated with a lot of routine work where certain steps are repeated every time in a particular order. Automation obviates the simplest routines and frees up the experts' expensive time for more complex tasks."

Lawyers often work on an hourly basis. Forecasting the workload is difficult, and allocating the valuable expert resources is a challenge. This results in expensive idle time or too strenuous workdays. Fortunately, one of the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics 365 PSA is that it enables expert resources to be coordinated highly efficiently in real time.

"PSA's ERP-like functionality supports effective management of our tightly scheduled experts. This enables the allocation of exactly the right kind of expertise in projects, which directly affects the bottom line. Furthermore, the experts themselves are better aware of their workload in the near future. Correctly allocated resources and efficient organization of processes speed up projects and thus improve our customer service."

Lexia recently opened a new office in the City of Turku, in line with their strategy of having a presence in several locations while making the entire expertise of the company available to the customer, independent of location. Communication within a team becomes easier, since all information is easily available for the entire team, not channeled through a single lawyer.

Every year, Microsoft spends 10 billion dollars on product development and serves millions of corporate customers, each using Microsoft product families in their own unique way. This combination results in an unparalleled ecosystem that has something for every customer.
