What are MI reports?

Management information (MI) reports and reporting systems provide a valuable insight into any business and can even help you to solve problems, identify trends and make forecasts on numerous areas. MI reporting can also help you to make business improvements, such as improving customer experience.

Some examples of MI reports include:

• Customer feedback reports
• Business expenditure reports using data from online banking accounts
• KPI reports
• Sales reports
• Staff performance and target reports

Put simply, if the data can be collected, it can be reported upon. MI reporting usually involves gathering data and placing it into a reporting template, such as a dashboard so that it can be visualised and easily analysed.

MI Reporting for Law Firms

Most case management systems, such as Proclaim, can be developed to allow law firms to create MI reports and KPI dashboards as they hold endless amounts of business data.

In the current competitive fast paced legal market, the ability to predict and react to changing circumstance is paramount to a firm’s success. Furthermore, the ability to do this is substantially improved when in-depth data can be retrieved at any desired time, and a case management system report is a reliable and effective means of achieving this.

Consequently, a key facet of any successful business is the ability to recall and analyse data as and when needed, in a meaningful manner. Whilst some case management systems come with out of the box reports, most businesses soon find they need to develop their own bespoke reports to cover their unique business needs.

Furthermore, KPI reports can be output into dashboards to help your firm easily visualise data.
