Berwin Leighton Paisner Raises the Bar on Business Discovery

International law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner uses QlikView Business Discovery to gain instant financial insights.

London - 13 September 2011

QlikTech (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in Business Discovery – user-driven Business Intelligence (BI) – today announces that international law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) is to roll out the QlikView Business Discovery platform to its 1,400 plus employees worldwide. The software will be used to streamline financial decisions, improve internal processes and boost employee productivity and profitability.

BLP delivers clear, pragmatic legal advice to its clients who span more than 20 industry sectors. The firm required a business intelligence solution that would automate and streamline financial reporting. BLP also needed to cater to the firm’s commercial objectives, including providing meaningful, multi-dimensional insight for core financial practices from client billing to time management. As a global organisation, the platform had to facilitate remote access from any web browser on a range of compatible devices, providing staff with up to the minute information regardless of time or location.

Working closely with Elite QlikView Solution Provider, Informance, BLP selected QlikView in recognition of its intuitive user interface and data visualisation capabilities which allow users to quickly access information and facilitate client requests. The appeal of having data in a single in-memory location that was available for a variety of consumer devices also went hand in hand with the organisation’s own roadmap to enable greater mobile working on devices such as tablets.

“We needed a sophisticated and modern software tool that was capable of instantaneously providing real-time information for our global business,” comments Mark Tothill, Financial Director at Berwin Leighton Paisner. “QlikView will enable everyone in the firm to have seamless visibility of their own performance, empowering them to monitor their own productivity and become more efficient. Within the first hours of training, it was clear just how much of an impact this technology could have on the firms development and success.”

Sean Farrington, RVP Northern Europe and MD UK & Ireland at QlikTech adds: “Berwin Leighton Paisner is a multi-award winning firm and we’re delighted to be able to provide it with a solution so uniquely tailored to its needs. We hope its employees will be able to build upon the considerable success achieved so far and that our innovations will continue to support the firm as it embraces mobile working in the future.”
