Serengeti Tracker Receives Top Ranking For Legal Matter Management and E-Billing - General Counsel Roundtable Survey Measures Overall Satisfaction and Cost/Value

September 11, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
In the first ranking of law department systems by the General Counsel Roundtable (whose members include over 600 of the world's largest corporations), Serengeti Tracker was the highest-rated system for both electronic billing and matter management. The recently released report rated systems on two scales: overall satisfaction and cost vs. value. Serengeti Tracker received the top ratings on both of the scales, for both matter management and electronic billing.

Serengeti Tracker was not only the highest-rated matter management and electronic billing system-100% of the users stated that they would recommend Tracker to their peers at other law departments. "We pay close attention to this survey because it is independent and reflects the impressions of our customers," said Don Murray, President of Serengeti Law. "We will continue to strive to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction."

The purpose of the report, Evaluating Legal Department Technology, is to provide impartial, objective assessments of the primary technologies currently in use by corporate law departments. Law departments will use this data to select systems that have a track record of superior performance and that offer the best value, based upon the actual experiences of other law departments.

Serengeti Tracker is a Web-based matter management and electronic billing system that currently serves more than 4,500 in-house counsel, who are connected through the system to over 7,000 law firms in 125 countries. Tracker helps law departments manage their legal work with electronic bill processing and auditing, budget management, custom reporting, and online project files for sharing documents, calendars, budgets, and other key information necessary to legal teams.
