Transocean chief executive Steve Newman said, on balance, the current six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is unlikely to materially impact near-term cash flows. Activity in other offshore markets won’t mitigate anticipated revenue loss from force majeure declarations in the U.S., however, should the driller cede…

Within the overall current Russian economic pickup, analysts particularly single out Russia’s technology sector and appropriate it one of the leading roles in establishing the favorable business landscape. The latest “Russia Information Technology Report Q2 2010” testifies that the Russian IT market is expected to recover in 2010 from a double-digit contraction in spending on IT products and services suffered in the generically tough 2009. Below we highlight some extracts from the report touching upon Russia’s software and IT services market segments. Software Russia’s domestic software market is projected at around US$3.1bn in 2010.

By, Harry T Selent There is no denying technology from creeping and seeping into our daily lives. Everyday, better and more powerful systems are being put in place to help streamline and automate business processes. Medical practices are no exception. To run a medical practice properly, the right medical billing software has to be installed. Let’s take a closer look at this issue. First, let’s assume that there is no proper billing software in place. What do you think will happen? Of course, there must be some sort of method to help deal with the billing issues. The traditional way, is to do everything manually

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.

As documentation linking oral health and overall health of the human body continues to build, more and more dental practices are recognizing the value of filing medical claims for many of their procedures. While this knowledge leads to more opportunities for filing claims with medical carriers, it also requires dental practices to learn how to do it. Incorporating medical billing in dental practices has turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone.

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
