It is a well documented fact that the primary cost involved in implementing an enterprise package system (ERP, CMS, etc) is not what companies spend on the software but what they spend on the services. At Quantilus we believe that there is tremendous scope for improving efficiencies in package system implementation and for getting better value from the service. These increased efficiencies can be traced to our overall software development and implementation mantra - 'It’s not about building the software; it’s about defining the system'.

Quantilus' ERP practice is SAP and Oracle focused and we have teams for ERP Implementation, Post Implementation Support Services, Integration Services and Development Services on Onsite, Offshore and Hybrid engagement models.

At Quantilus, we have a proprietary Data Warehouse Methodology for creating large-scale, multi-terabyte data warehouse systems that we've developed and matured over several years of formal practice. Our methodology consists of a flexible component-based approach to the design of the data warehouse, which is always solidly built to meet our customer's business requirements.
Key to our approach is developing an insightful understanding of our customer's needs; then translating that into an architecture that provides optimal performance and flexibility.
Quantilus has more than 25 data warehouse professionals dedicated to this practice, who support commercial and public sector organizations which need enterprise-wide data warehouse systems. We have perfected data mining techniques to deliver the exact information these organizations need to make business decisions and save money.

Technology Issues

• Law firms have to deal with large sets of documents – in the millions for certain lawsuits. Managing, analyzing and retrieving useful information from this huge corpus is a manual-intensive task.
• A large percentage of a law firm’s resources are diverted towards the task of manually reviewing documents and emails to identify trends, discrepancies and establish relationships (if any) between different sets of documents and/or emails.
• Documents are obtained in multiple formats – tiff files, backup tapes, hard copies, email records, etc. This makes it very difficult to automate search and retrieval processes.
• There is no automated system to scan through documents and emails to extract meaningful patterns, as well as provide search and retrieval facilities.

Process Issues

Law firms invest huge amounts of money investing in law firm associates, who are typically recent law school graduates or lawyers with minimal experience (1-2 years out of law school). Between salaries and fringe benefits, each one of these associates is costing the law firm in excess of $250,000 a year.
Law firms also invest huge amounts of money in IT technology, including in individualized computers, Internet access, law research sites (such as Lexis and Westlaw), and many other types of applications depending on area of specialization. For example, litigation associates may work with Summation, Ringtail, Lextranet or other software programs.
What law firms have failed to do is ensure that their associates know how to access and preserve their work product in a way that increases their associate's productivity. If an associate is taught and incorporates "best practices" for document management/document storage/document retrieval early in their legal career, the law firm will reap enormous benefits.
For whatever reason, law firms are not bridging the gap between their two investments described above and ensuring that each associate is not wasting countless hours on maintaining paper files (where a preferable electronic source exists) or duplicating document retention efforts that detracts from that associate's ability to perform more valuable work functions.

Quantilus process consultants provide expertise in diverse areas, including:

• Eliminating non-value-added process steps
• Automating manual processes
• Improving productivity
• Creating new project implementation strategies
• Process Diagnostics
• Software implementation and training and best practices

Quantilus process experts guide clients through methodology implementations and act as tool mentors and trainers to smoothen the learning curve. Our qualified and certified team of professionals will customize standard frameworks to best suit your requirements and enable your technology group to own the process and capitalize on their knowledge.
Moreover, the reason that mentoring is important is our belief in the need for individualized, hands on instruction that will make the entire exercise personal and real for the associate. Only if it's real and personal will it be applied by the associates on a daily and ongoing basis.
