The “do-more-with-less” formula

One industry report after the other paints the same picture. Legal and Compliance leaders have set clear priorities for 2024 and 2025: automation, digitization and technology.

Introducing technology and driving efficient processes can be fantastic cost control strategies, so these results should not come as a surprise - if there wasn’t the looming shadow of reality:

  • Legal & Compliance Tech/Operations Teams are overburdened: Today’s Legal Tech and Operations teams are continuously gaining further responsibilities. They are to be the jack-of-all-trades: driving digitization initiatives, owning process optimization, knowledge management, information governance & technology support.
  • Strained budgets and resources: Budgets are tight. A majority of companies is expecting stagnant headcount. Many organizations have to make do with what is already in place and available - both from a technology and people perspective.

Legal and Compliance lack a partner for tech projects

Having to make do with internally available resources and knowledge increases risk, it extends time-to-value, stretches thin resources even thinner and eventually jeopardizes leadership’s priorities.

Yet, Legal and Compliance departments have known the solution to this equation since the invention of legal. They are accustomed to utilizing external knowledge and resources to extend capacity, limit risks, meet urgency needs and reduce overhead cost. Their trusted law firms on retainer are serving this purpose exactly.

What most organizations are lacking is a trusted partner for technology projects.

Our clients have found that trusted partner in NodeMasters. We support our clients in driving digitization initiatives without overburdening budget and team.
