When it comes to selecting risk management software for your firm, the stakes are high: The wrong choice can directly impact your efficiency and profitability. Although some firms invest in custom-built risk management software, they often discover the returns on this investment are far from optimal. Here are the top six reasons your firm should stick to purchasing a proven, best-in-class risk management software rather than building from scratch. 1) Cost Making the Most of Your Money Having business intake software custom-built for your firm’s risk management process is likely going to cost more than off-the-shelf risk management software, but…

From Humble Beginnings When Thad Jampol, Dan Harsell, and Vera Newman co-founded Intapp — then known as Tsunami Software — in December 2000, they recognized the risk they were taking. The dot-com bubble had burst, and many people were now skeptical about investing in tech companies. Nevertheless, the three colleagues knew they could bring something unique to the industry: software that allowed firms to easily consolidate data from different sources. “Within about 6 months of starting up, we had our first customer,” remembers Harsell, who now holds the joint title of co-founder and senior vice president of technology at Intapp.…

A few years ago, Intapp Risk Consulting was assessing an international law firm’s new-business inception program. When consultants asked a billing partner representing a U.S. bank how he handled his client’s outside counsel guidelines (OCGs), he said, “I sign them and throw them into my bottom desk drawer.” Seeing the consulting team’s incredulous looks, he continued, “I guess that’s not the right answer.” The need to manage a growing quantity of client commitments — including those presented in requests for proposals, OCGs, engagement letters, and waivers — has created an administrative tsunami. Nevertheless, recent research shows that a growing number…

Intapp recommends the following approach. Prioritize processing what’s in the backfile. For example: Commitments made to active (not inactive) clients Commitments that are in an accessible format (some materials might be so old as to require…

It’ll help you build more credibility with our clients,” quipped Richard to Karin, failing to recognize her repeated attempts to seek out such opportunities only to have managers overlook her in favor of her counterparts. It felt all too familiar to her: An offhand comment that reflected a culture of how things were actually said and done, far removed from the marketing campaigns that promoted the firm’s diversity and inclusion (D&I) efforts. Although this may be a fictitious scene, it reflects the realities of individuals from underrepresented communities that are typically…
