Managed Services

Processes and strategies to optimize information produced through M&A, divestures and integration.

Balancing Control and Efficiency

Legal, HR and Finance processes are often seen as cost centers, but they can deliver significant efficiencies if properly staffed and equipped. Well-oiled internal firm services can help avoid regulatory actions, enable more resources toward talent acquisition, provide faster onboarding, reduce invoicing delays and much more. But should you seek those benefits by hiring and training more in-house talent, or outsource to seasoned experts that can hit the ground running?

Kroll can help you answer those questions and more – and provide you with options you might not have otherwise considered.

Focus on Critical, Strategic and Innovative Initiatives

Legal outsourcing is the best way for companies to manage their complex and time-consuming matters. It is an important factor that affects the legal industry immensely. Outsourcing of legal services is done for the advantage of significantly lower costs.

Improved Financial Performance

More resilient infrastructure leads to less downtime which leads in turn to greater productivity, that is, higher revenue. On the cost side, managed services yield savings related to hardware, software, labor and facilities. Beyond that, these lower costs become much more predictable via a subscription to a managed service provider such as Kroll rather than as a convoluted IT budgeting exercise.

Modernize and Manage Risk Protocols

Data security has – rightfully – garnered the attention of government and media as well as corporate decision-makers. While Kroll Managed Services can help insulate your enterprise against this risk, the service can also reduce exposure to regulatory compliance actions.

Improve Service Delivery to Both Internal and External Clients

Confidential documents and sensitive data must simultaneously be protected from prying eyes and available immediately to those who need them for legitimate purposes. Private cloud-based storage is even more of an advantage if it’s accessible from approved devices.

Load-balance High-demand Skill Sets and Expertise

All internal service providers – Legal, HR, Finance and IT – require a set of skills that can be exceedingly difficult to procure. Getting all these subject matter experts on the same bridge line at the same time can seem next to impossible. As a managed services ecosystem takes root, though, the frequency of these calls will be greatly reduced.

Conventional Outsourcing	Kroll Managed Services Advantage
Quality, though satisfactory overall, might be inconsistent	Quantitative metrics inform contractual KPIs, resulting in unambiguous service level agreements
One-size-fits-all solution	Client is the provider’s partner in solution design
Black-box solution	Transparent view of the provider’s process, including the technology and lean management systems that enable it
Cursory project oversight	Governance is a key, well-defined element of the service, as is consistent project management to ensure adherence to time and expense schedules
Unpredictable pricing	Fixed subscription rate supplemented by variable – yet predictable – pay-by-the-drink pricing during surge periods

Proven Track Record

Processes that are necessary to perform, but which are not critical to your enterprise’s mission can often be routinized. And what can be routinized might even be automated. The Kroll Managed Services practice can provide the benefits inherent in that lower level of friction almost immediately.

But rarely does one of our clients wake up with a sudden urge to engage a managed service provider. More likely, this interest comes as a result of other changes within the organization. Whether it’s a merger, an acquisition or a divestiture, change begets change. That’s the juncture at which Kroll’s seasoned transaction support team offers processes and strategies to help you make decisions more quickly and execute deals more efficiently.

While the interest may be born out of a due diligence requirement, in short order you might find that the advantages of the managed services approach can be readily applied across functions.
