  BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE - Partnership with Redwood Analytics
Press Release
7 February 2007


FMRC Legal and Redwood Analytics take business intelligence to the Australian and New Zealand legal markets.
FMRC Legal, the specialist legal management consultancy, today announced a partnership with Redwood Analytics, the leading provider of applied business intelligence applications to the legal industry. FMRC Legal will re-sell and implement Redwood Analytics' Business Intelligence Suite in Australia and New Zealand as part of its legal practice management services.

Through the partnership, Redwood will leverage FMRC Legal's expertise and understanding of the Australian and New Zealand legal landscape. The two companies will deliver valuable content, comprehensive reporting, key performance information, and knowledge services, right from the outset of the partnership.

Redwood's Business Intelligence suite is used by 30% of the U.S. AmLaw 100 and firms as small as 18 lawyers alike and is already being adopted by some of Australia and New Zealand’s leading firms. These firms rely on the applications to analyse, manage, and report upon firm performance.

Redwood Analytics develops business intelligence applications that help law firms access the information they need to make key business decisions regarding pricing, staffing, budgeting and forecasting. Its tools are designed with a focus on helping firms forecast profitability and shorten the budget planning cycle.

Redwood’s software enables legal and business staff to quickly turn data into actionable information without an ongoing need for custom programming and complex calculations and can be applied to all areas of a law firm's business, with special modules dedicated to billing & collections, profitability, business development, productivity, budgeting, reporting, benchmarking, merger analytics and matter planning. Redwood's latest product, Lawyer Dashboard, is a software application that allows front-line lawyers to access the power of business intelligence.

"Redwood is without question the leading software when it comes to business intelligence in the legal sector so they were the obvious strategic partnership choice," said Sam Coupland, Director of FMRC Legal.

“Redwood is a proven solution with a solid market leadership position in the North American legal market and we know that collectively we can deliver valuable content and a comprehensive suite of analyses and information from day one."

"FMRC Legal is Australia and New Zealand's largest specialist legal management consultancy and are the clear partner of choice in the legal business world," said Norm Mullock, Chief Development Officer, Redwood Analytics.

“Both companies pride themselves in delivering the highest level of client service and support. It is this collective commitment to client service that made the choice to partner with FMRC Legal an easy one. Most importantly it offers clients integrated and powerful answers to their business intelligence challenges and the level of service that Redwood customers have come to expect."
