Case Study: Howell Jones Solicitors achieves better billable time and smarter decisions with Microsoft Corporation Power BI

Howell Jones Solicitors - Customer Case Study

Howell Jones Solicitors, a UK professional services firm, struggled with the legal sector’s heavy internal data load and the time-consuming task of turning it into useful reporting. The firm needed a cost-effective way to surface complex metrics for decision-making and to avoid the expense, IT requirements, and complexity they associated with traditional BI tools. Microsoft Corporation’s Power BI, delivered with support from AspiraCloud, was introduced as the analytics service used to address this challenge.

Microsoft Corporation’s Power BI enabled Howell Jones Solicitors to build real-time dashboards and visual reports that could be used across the business without heavy IT involvement. The solution helped management track KPIs, improve workload balancing, and identify low-value work that was reducing capacity; in one example, the firm capped subsidised wills work and released billable time for higher-value services, resulting in increased turnover per lawyer and stronger overall profitability.
