Cost management tools are among the benefits of the new breed of e-billing, along with the technical benefits you enjoy when you outsource the hassle it takes to get yourself wired-up up to receive invoices electronically. You can certainly “roll your own” system to gather your e-bills. But if you hand it off to a third party, you can reduce support staff time, and reduce your own bean-counting hours.
E-billing services typically offer tools that take the “first cut” at screening your invoices: automatically flagging exceptions, and providing a nice summary report of your legal expenses. If it’s working well, it puts you in a great position to comparison-shop among outside counsel, and scrutinize places on your bill where costs are running up.
