Background ADM was using an existing “traditional system” for e-billing/ matter management Implementation was limited to US and parts of Europe Data was only entered when outside counsel was retained Very little meaningful matter information was entered into the system, and what is there was typically inaccurate Data entry is fragmented and is inconstantly across business units (South America, and most of EMEA did not open matters in the system)
9
AS-IS State & Landscape
ADM did not have one system of record to manage its risk and identify its outside counsel spend. ADM did not have an ability to easily identify open matters (projects, circumstances, claims and law suits) company-wide. ADM had no consistent and verifiable process to identify risk on open matters. ADM Reserve/Exposure reporting across the organization for open matters was a fragmented process and done manually. ADM had no automated and auditable process to ensure settlements are strategically evaluated and properly authorized.
