Umbria helps lawyers and other professionals leverage past experience to competitively pitch and price services and set and monitor budgets
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ —
Company news
Prosperoware today announced that it has kicked off its early adopter program for Umbria Pricing & Experience Management. Umbria Pricing & Experience Management is a web-based software platform that helps lawyers and other professionals leverage past experience to competitively pitch and price services and set and monitor budgets.
Umbria systematically captures and consolidates critical information around lawyers, staff, costs, and matter profiles. Firms easily ascertain who is most qualified to take on the work, what similar matters and engagements have cost the firm to deliver, and the appropriate budget for delivering services to new clients.
Umbria will be generally available in October.
Supporting quotes
"Law firms are facing significant downward fee pressures, and many clients are demanding budgets for every matter," Timothy B. Corcoran, Principal, Corcoran Consulting Group, LLC. "Firms must now price their legal services competitively while closely monitoring their margins. They just haven't had the tools to do that."
Product detail
Umbria leverages the data firms already gather in a variety of enterprise systems, such as their time and billing, practice management, document management, customer relationship management, and conflicts systems. Umbria takes this critical data out of the shadows and provides a single location to view all the information these systems gather around clients, vendors, employees, and matters—and how that information interlinks. Umbria starts with a matter opportunity and tracks the matter through its entire lifecycle. Umbria helps firms:
- Set a price and budget for each phase of the matter
- Effectively monitor budgets
- Gain visibility into all invoices—even those the firm doesn't pay
- Leverage prior matters for effective pricing
- More effectively understand the relationship of people and companies to matters
- Empower marketing with the information they need for sales pitches
