Keesal, Young & Logan (KYL) and Mitratech announced today the TAP Workflow Automation partnership to help a greater number of legal professionals quickly implement standardization and compliance across a wide range of legal processes, starting with KYL’s own clients.
But it doesn’t stop there. The partnership has resulted in the launch of Keesal Propulsion Labs (KPL) designed to position KYL as an extension of their clients’ teams — helping them to expand and connect their tech stack to solve complex legal and business process challenges.
“The goal of KPL is to break down the walls between solution providers, law firms and clients so they can operate as one unit and transform legal operations into a center of excellence that drives innovation across the entire organization,” said Justin Hectus, CIO/CISO at KYL. “By creating cross-ecosystem collaboration, we are uniting people, processes, and compliance, to help mitigate risk and position the legal department as a process improvement engine for the entire enterprise.”
KPL combines KYL’s legal and business expertise with TAP Workflow Automation to empower legal teams to design and deploy innovative workflows that directly address business needs. As these processes become more complex, KPL will be there to help guide design and implementation so customers can quickly reap the rewards of increased efficiencies, more consistency and greater cost control, while freeing professionals from mundane tasks to focus on work that’s worthy of their expertise.
“This is not just another reseller partnership,” said Jason Parkman, Mitratech CEO. “KYL has launched a new division of their company by exclusively delivering workflow automation solutions that are built on our platform.”
The rise of KPL culminated from a collaboration between several partners and NetApp. In 2017, NetApp found itself in the middle of a document collection process that was disjointed, labor-intensive across the company, and unnecessarily vulnerable to human error. To streamline the process, NetApp partnered with experts from KYL, MoFo, Elevate, and Mitratech’s TAP to implement an automated workflow for document collection, replacing the antiquated manual process. The co-created solution was a success, and a larger story emerged: this collaboration evolved into a powerful model for a joint approach to tackling complex problems that draws from a cross-section of the entire legal ecosystem, saving millions of dollars with over a 5x ROI.
According to Connie Brenton, Chief of Staff /Sr. Director of Legal Operations of NetApp and CEO of CLOC (Corporate Legal Operations Consortium), “KPL is our professional services SWAT team, supporting the 40 use cases throughout the enterprise. We have co-created digital workflow solutions using Mitratech’s TAP Workflow Automation platform and we continue to delight our internal clients, together.”
