The Challenges You Face
Common obstacles for law firm operations teams.
Fragmented Data Across Systems
Financial, HR, matter management, and time entry data live in separate systems with no unified view. Building a complete operational picture requires manual data wrangling across Aderant, Elite, or iManage.
Manual Reporting Cycles
Monthly and quarterly reports take days to compile, often arriving too late to drive decisions. By the time leadership sees the numbers, the window for action has passed.
No Real-Time Visibility
Without live dashboards, operational leaders rely on gut feel and lagging indicators. Capacity mismatches, underutilized teams, and budget overruns surface only after the damage is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Basedash from law firm teams.
How does Basedash give law firm operations leaders real-time visibility into utilization and capacity?
Basedash brings data from your financial, HR, matter management, and time entry systems together into a single live operational dashboard, so utilization, revenue, headcount, and capacity by practice group and office update in real time. Instead of waiting days for monthly reports, a COO can ask questions like 'Show me demand vs. capacity by department for next quarter' and get an answer in seconds, then set alerts on any metric that drifts.
Does Basedash integrate with Aderant, Elite 3E, and iManage?
Yes, through the operational databases behind those systems. Basedash does not plug into Aderant, Elite 3E, or iManage directly: it connects to the reporting databases and, where needed, staging tables built from them. Switch Analytics sets up that data layer as part of implementation, maps key metrics like utilization and WIP, and firms go live with dashboards in weeks, with no rip-and-replace project.
Can non-technical operations staff query firm data without SQL or IT tickets?
Yes. Basedash is built around natural language queries, so operations leaders can type questions like 'Compare associate utilization by office for Q1' or 'Which practice groups have the best leverage ratios?' and get instant charts and tables. No SQL, no report requests, no waiting on IT. The AI understands legal metrics like leverage ratios, WIP aging, and time-to-collect out of the box.
How does Basedash handle security and access control for sensitive firm data?
Basedash enforces role-based access control, so each user sees only the practice groups, offices, and metrics they are authorized to view. Connections to the operational databases built from systems like Aderant and Elite 3E are read-only and encrypted in transit and at rest, and every query is logged for auditability. Firm administrators control permissions centrally, which matters when operational dashboards span financial, HR, and matter data.
