FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
eCop® Stops Law Firm Billing Errors In Their Tracks
Revolutionary product from Omega automates the billing review process
to catch errors before they are billed.
PHOENIX—April 29, 2009—Omega Legal Systems, Inc. announces the development of eCop®. The
product enhancement is set to launch this August and will be offered as part of the Omega LegalVX
software solution. eCop enables firm administrators to know instantly who is following client’s billing rules
and who is not. Omega’s eCop uses real-time rules validation so that firm timekeepers will know of any
entry errors as soon as they attempt to save the billing entry. eCop will inform the users of the problem
and provide on-screen guidance on how to resolve it.
“The whole idea behind eCop is to catch potential billing issues and fix them at point of entry,” explains
Mary Steele, Omega’s lead product manager. “Billing review and corrections will be done on an ongoing
basis, rather than relying on a protracted once-a-month process.”
The burden of managing clients’ billing requirements has many law firms looking for time and cost saving
solutions. eCop provides a way for firms to protect their time investment and get paid more for what they
bill without delays. Currently in the beta testing phase, eCop has proven to save firms money by
significantly reducing the number of time entries rejected, adjusted, appealed, or written-off after being
billed. In fact, the projected time and billing loss savings may be as high as $100,000 annually.
One thing that sets Omega apart from their competitors is that they really listen to their clients and
develop products with their needs in mind. "I was honored to be directly involved with the development of
this product,” said Debby Johnson with Jones, Skelton & Hochuli, P.L.C. located in Phoenix. “eCop is
truly going to revolutionize law firm billing processes. Not only will eCop automate a manual process, it
will enable our end-users to conduct a real-time review of any errors within the billing entry. Instead of
spending hours reviewing billing drafts to make sure we are complying with our clients’ billing guidelines,
we will be able to automatically screen our billing entries at the touch of a button and correct these entries
before they are billed."
