19DECEMBER 2020budget can be set up the same way as in any e-billing vendor's system and verified in seconds. What's more, ALB 1.0 constantly provides attorneys and the billing team case budget updates, closing the gaps between the law firm's budgets and the e-billing vendors. While ALB 1.0 requires human intervention to a certain degree, the company's recent addition ALB 2.0, a time entry cleansing platform, is completely managed by AI. Introduced early this year, ALB 2.0 allows law firms to connect with various time entry systems and view the compliant and non-compliant entries in prior while preparing and submitting invoices to e-billing vendors' systems. In the event of non-compliance, ALB 2.0 tells the timekeeper or billing team what needs to be done in order to achieve the required compliance. ALB's clients can take advantage of all these features without changing their organizational workflow, culture, existing time entry or billing platform.To enhance the value of its offerings, ALB's platforms can integrate with diverse third-party practice management applications including but not limited to Tabs3, Elite, 3E, Clio, Prolaw, Aderant, and Intapp. Law firms using one or more of these applications can further immensely benefit from ALB. Besides, ALB also provides metrics for the firms' billing managers and managing partners to help them with in-house training for improved organizational efficiency. Highlighting the case of an Am Law 200 firm that benefited tremendously from ALB 2.0, Wouansi says, "One of our New Jersey-based clients, with over 400 in-house attorneys, eliminated over 20 percent reduction on their invoices." ALB 2.0 helped them achieve greater profit margins and improve efficiency and accountability. In another case, a California-based law firm had experienced a reduction of 10.4 percent (close to a million dollars of reduction) in 2018. In 2019 they collaborated with ALB who saved them more than $750,000. Riding on the back of its clients' successes so far, ALB aims to take its value to new clients across regions. The company has plans to enhance the capabilities of its platforms as part of its continuous improvement strategy.
