That's right, you can teach an old dog new tricks. We just launched on Facebook, making it easier than ever to keep up-to-date on all things BIGfish BI.

Most small and mid-sized firms are just starting to stick their toes in the water with respect to profit analysis. It can be a daunting task to be sure, but BIGfish BI now provides all of the tools you need to streamline this process. From tools to import, enter or derive cost data from the GL to a series of pre-built analysis dashboards, BIGfish offers firms the advantage in evaluating profit across the firm by, partner, department, law type, and even client.

In our most current release, we have enhanced the home page in BIGfish so that administrators can post firm news items as well as publish documents that might be useful to the attorneys and staff.   Also firms can embed their logo to further customize the users first impression of BIGfish.

Imagine the ability to add new fields to your accounting system and have them available in your BI platform. BIGfish now requires the ability to add fields to Clients, Matters and Employee records to round out the reporting capabilities. Want to run reports based on client industry, state of incorporation or or referral source? What to measure legal spends vs exposure on property and casualty matters? Every law firm and in fact each practice area has its own unique requirements for performance measurement. BIGfish BI now provides the ability to store information not normally found in a law firm accounting system to enhance reporting capabilities.

Every administrator knows the pain associated with creating reports needed to support the partner compensation process. BIGfish’ s new Datapool feature provides true mutli-pass reporting capabilities to get you all the data columns needed in a single report. With over 20 columns available out of the box and 10 custom hours and 10 custom fees columns, Datapools can drastically reduce the amount of time spent in data preparation associated with partner compensation.

Since department heads and practice group leaders often manager a number of attorneys, using the single attorney performance analysis can be tedious for these supervisors. Ener the new managers analysis. This dashboard provides visibility across all of the attorneys and support staff the manager is responsible for.

Its one thing to provide a world-class dashboard right out of the box, its quite another to empower users to create their own. We are thrilled to announce a brand-new self-service module that allow users to shape their data, create re-usable visualizations, embed those visualizations in dashboards and reports and provision these dashboards and reports to end users all through our web-based self-service module.
