Is it still a dream to be able to log into your PC and get a work surface with all relevant applications tuned according to your personal wishes? Is there an easy way to email, documents, time registration, virtual meetings, billing, and all other applications and services you use as a lawyer? TechTorget also focuses on this area, stay tuned here!

Since almost 80% of legal work is still a document-intensive process, TechTorget will now document how the dashboard or work surface can be organized more efficiently, with a particular focus on document management. We will take a closer look at the entire work process from creating a document, comparing, reviewing, editing, styling, collaborating, etc., until it reaches the customer.

There has been some "status quo" in "standard case management and support systems" in Norway. We are now seeing increasing competition from new suppliers, partly due to a lot of technical opportunities, but also because of changing user needs.
Modernization takes the form via several actors and services, such as hourly capture, expense report and expense apps, dynamic reporting, workflow for outgoing electronic invoices, incorporation of anti-money laundering information, etc. One of the consequences, then, is that the number and diversity of applications in the "financial process" to support lawyers and their clients will increase.
In addition, the legal model slowly moves away from "Time &Material"/traditional timekeeping towards other pricing models such as fixed price or subscription models. The reason for this is that customers have more need for predictability, one does not want to pay "too much" for certain services (some services are in reality a off-the-shelf item) etc.
In this "track", we at TechTorget will discuss the basic needs of case management, but also ask some providers to focus on simple implementable new features. Overall, the question becomes whether one should have one system that supports the whole process or a combination in which the best niche systems also get a natural place.

Accounting has become much "modern" in recent years. Advanced financial technology, for example, interprets inbound and outbound invoices and learns from what is being registered, budgeting and reporting has become much more dynamic (it does not have to do once per year), and there is a growing number of professional players who can take over (part of) the accounting function. TechTorget deals with this topic.

In a world that is becoming more digital and computerized, Compliance is becoming more important to ensure that companies maintain rules and laws. Precisely because there are several rules and requirements and it is not possible to deal with all this manually. Regtech is f.e.ks. a term that relates to this topic.
From a security perspective, there is a focus on products and services that will make lawyers and law firms' everyday processes safer and more compliant that we at TechTorget will now focus on in TechTorget 2021.
