The company’s unique approach to legal maturity enables organizations to visualize a 360-degree evaluation of the legal department across four key performance areas: spend analysis and management, data insight and evaluation, best practices gap analysis, and change, collaboration, and culture. Leveraging the assessment outcome, EXTEND works with legal department leaders to optimize performance, improve savings by 5% to 15% beyond technology implementation alone, and design strategic value into the organization.<\/p>\n To help Wolters Kluwer clients generate more efficiency and savings beyond the successful implementation of enterprise legal management tools, EXTEND is customizing its maturity model specifically for ELM Solutions clients. Regularly evaluating and tracking legal operations maturity and technology use can help organizations maintain high performance and ongoing savings, even when markets, industries, and outside counsel resources evolve.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are honored to be selected as members in the premier, global ELM Solutions Partner program,\u201d noted Howard Hoffmann, CEO of EXTEND Resources. \u201cWe look forward to expanding our use of innovative Wolters Kluwer technologies and applying our experience in legal operations, legal technology, and law firm development to help clients generate greater value and optimal results.\u201d<\/p>\n EXTEND is recognized in the legal sector \u2013 and a wide array of other industries \u2013for its holistic approach to problem-solving, enabling teams to identify and enhance opportunities, and delivering transformative\u00a0solutions that catalyze change, optimize results, and increase enterprise value.<\/p>\n \u201cEXTEND Resources brings a distinctive blend of thoughtful strategy, disciplined processes, and data-driven operations to the legal optimization arena,\u201d said Phil Neely, Head of Global Strategic Alliances at Wolters Kluwer\u2019s ELM Solutions. \u201cPaired with Wolters Kluwer technologies, they can help clients \u2018level up\u2019 their legal ops ecosystem, driving\u00a0operational\u00a0efficiency, mitigating risk, reducing costs, and sustaining a\u00a0culture of\u00a0compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n About EXTEND Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n EXTEND Resources helps legal departments operate at peak efficiency by designing and implementing strategic value-enhancing strategies for both the department and the broader organization.
