The Lawyer reported last Friday, in Osborne Clarke’s PEP rises on flat turnover figure , that Integreon middle office outsourcing client Osborne Clarke reported significantly increased profit per equity partner despite almost flat revenue. The article notes one of the reasons: “The firm has also saved money through its continuing relationship with legal process outsourcer Integreon. The £50m deal struck last year saw around 75 support staff transfer to the outsourcing provider ( 2 February 2009 ).” We are certainly pleased – but not surprised – that we are helping our client improve profitability. Back in November 2008, when it was just becoming apparent how bad the downturn was for law firms, I wrote here Controlling Cost to Increase Profits . In that post, I argued that the old adage ‘the only way to improve law firm profit is to grow revenue’ was no longer true. That reducing overhead cost can move the profit dial should not be a surprise. In the US, the median overhead per AmLaw 100 lawyer in 2009 was $206,000. Compare that to almost any other business, including other high end professional services, and it seems clear that savings are not just possible but easy. (See my May 2009 personal blog post Cost Control as Part of AmLaw 200 Turnaround Strategies for my assumptions to calculate median overhead.) Of course, by definition, one-half of firms are above the median. Firms that could bring their overhead down to the median could increase profits by anywhere from a couple percent to over 20%. That conclusion is admittedly weak because it mixes high-cost NYC firms with lower-cost-base Midwestern and Southern firms. Yet the point still stands: reducing overhead can make a big difference

Ich möchte nochmals auf die Einwürfe bzw. Einwände von Robert und Manuel aus der letzten Zeit eingehen. Sie sind nur allzu berechtigt, wenn man objektiv Reichs Konzept der Arbeitsdemokratie betrachtet, das in der frühen Phase wirklich kaum von anarcho-syndikalistischen und räte-kommunistischen Konzepten, wie sie beispielsweise Rudolf Rocker und Anton Pannekoek ausgearbeitet haben, zu unterscheiden war, mal abgesehen davon, daß bei Reich das Proletariat als „revolutionäres Subjekt“ fehlt. Phillip Bennet hat das sehr schön gezeigt: „Wilhelm Reich’s Early Writings on Work Democracy: A Theoretical Basis for Challenging Fascism Then and Now“ im öko-sozialistischen Magazin Capitalism Nature Socialism (Vol. 21, No. 1, March 2010). Aber betrachten wir einmal Reichs „politische“ Entwicklung: 1919-1927: ein linker Sozialdemokrat in der ohnehin sehr linken „austro-marxistischen“ Sozialdemokratischen Partei Österreichs. 1928-1933: Anschluß an die KPÖ, eine linksradikale direkt von Moskau gesteuerte Politsekte, danach an die Massenpartei KPD, die (ebenfalls von Moskau instruiert) gerade ihre linksradikale Phase durchmacht: bereits Sozialdemokraten sind Nazis („Sozialfaschisten“). 1934-1937: im Exil Annäherung an Kräfte, die sowohl zu den Sozialdemokraten als auch zu den Kommunisten (die sich beide in einer „antifaschistischen Einheitsfront“ näherkommen) in kritischer Opposition stehen: Trotzkisten, SAP (Willy Brandt, etc.), Neu Beginnen, Mot Dag, etc.

ZONG has brought to the people of Pakistan (their customers) the first pre-paid reward program which offers instant prizes for just keeping their phone on! The reward program titled “Keep Phone On (KPO)” automatically enlists all ZONG subscribers to win prizes. KPO is designed in a way that it will help ZONG gain the most out of its customers. This is also a very strong move on their part to show that they value their customers. With its KPO reward program, ZONG has broken the curse of sim lagao/jagao offers that other telecom companies are and have been doing for quite long now. This surely makes this one stand out among the rest in convincing/insisting/requesting/forcing/reinforcing customers to keep their SIMs activated.

On 12 June, the transition from a service-based economy to a knowledge-based economy was the focus of this blog . This is the second in a series of articles regarding our competitiveness in the knowledge-based economy and the marketing opportunities associated with this competitiveness. Today’s topic is Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO). It is the one area of outsourcing in which the USA remains competitive (having ceded Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) to India, China and other developing nations). KPO consists of activities such as investment research services, marketing research, analytics and intelligence, engineering research and development, pharma/bio-tech research and development, legal research services, animation, content/publishing and education/e-learning.

Dan’s first after work drinks at KPO saw us with 3 beers for him and 3 glasses of wine for me. Left us buzzy and in an extremely good mood. So much so that we ran like idiots across the road to beat 4 seconds left on the traffic light, twice. Now I understand how working people can have a drink after work so often. Its actually very relaxing. More to come I foresee!

On Tuesday I read with interest Jordan Furlong’s blog post The evolution of outsourcing . He opens by noting that though LPO is “in its relative infancy, legal process outsourcing has already had a huge impact on the legal services marketplace”. Furlong focuses on two effects outsourcing has on the legal market: “The first affects LPOs themselves: they now need to move their value proposition beyond cost savings in a market they helped to make more sophisticated. The second affects everyone: the legal profession’s response to LPO is having an unexpected effect on how legal work is distributed and how legal resources are allocated.” We agree. As a provider, we know that simply offering lower labor cost is not enough. We therefore work hard to improve processes, introduce technology, increase efficiency, reduce cost, and achieve better outcomes for the lawyers whom we support. Personally, “I’ve put my money where my mouth is”: I recently turned over global marketing to colleagues so I could work in Integreon’s legal operations consulting group to help do exactly that. Furlong was perhaps even more prophetic than he realized when he wrote that “a surprising number of law firms are adopting — and adapting — the outsourcing model themselves.” On Thursday, Legal Week published Taylor Wessing set to create arm in Cambridge for standardised work . The article reports that the Anglo-German law firm will set up “an affiliated corporate services business to offer clients standardised work.” Their goal is to offer lower-cost options for routine work such as corporate due diligence. Eventually “it is likely that the firm will offer the service to third parties, including other law firms.” The firm may also partner with an IT outfit to streamline work. “Adopting the outsourcing model” as Furlong suggests is exactly right. From the limited information we have, it sounds like the firm’s Cambridge unit will be a captive LPO. We think this development is good news for the legal market. It further validates that law firms must respond to corporate pressure for (1) options, (2) lower cost, and (3) process improvements. Of course, we also view it as an explicit endorsement of the LPO approach.

The Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) market is relatively new and rapidly evolving, with a multitude of providers. Like many markets, it will probably consolidate over time, which means careful buyers will consider which providers are likely to be around for the long haul. This adds to the usual challenges of evaluating a crowded playing field, especially for buyers with relatively little LPO experience, but analyst reports that evaluate the market and buying process can help. One such report is the recently-released “Sourcing Prism” report, Legal Service Outsourcing Edition, published by the ValueNotes Sourcing Practice (”VN”), which has been tracking the LPO market for several years. The report rates 41 LPOs and helps buyers understand key selection criteria. Integreon is pleased to be highly rated across all key criteria, ranking as 1 of just 3 “Pacesetters” identified. This post summarizes the Sourcing Prism; readers who would like a complimentary copy can register for it here
