Case Study: Wilson Allen achieves actionable insights from unstructured legal data with Microsoft Power BI

Wilson Allen unlocks insight, transforms legal industry with Azure AI solution in containers

Wilson Allen, a consulting and analytics provider to more than 700 law and professional services firms, faced locked-up insight in paper-based, siloed, and unstructured data that limited business development and client relationship analysis. To solve this, Wilson Allen built a containerized AI solution using Azure Cognitive Services (Form Recognizer, Text Analytics, Computer Vision) and integrated analytics with Microsoft Power BI.

By delivering Cognitive Services in containers, Wilson Allen can run prebuilt AI models across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments to convert thousands of historical PDFs into live, structured databases and apply sentiment/topic analysis to client feedback. Early deployments with a leading international law firm and ClearlyRated have produced live, navigable records, automated manual document processing, and the ability to correlate qualitative sentiment with quantitative metrics—insights presented through Microsoft Power BI that are driving faster adoption and measurable efficiency gains.
