LONDON, 10 March 2009: Tikit Group PLC, the leading European provider of consultancy, software and support services to the legal sector has entered into a partnership agreement with Chrome River, which will see it market Chrome River's new online expense reporting and management service throughout the UK and Europe, with exclusivity for the UK legal market.
Chrome River has experienced rapid growth since launching its new SaaS-based expense reporting solution in the middle of 2008. Subscribers include over 20 law firms around the globe including firms from 17 lawyers in size to six of the Global Top 50.
Tikit will market, implement and provide support services for the Chrome River solution, which Tikit CEO David Lumsden says will make an exciting addition to the company's existing portfolio of content management, CRM and financial management solutions.
"Chrome River Expense is a compelling solution that fills a distinct need in the legal sector. I believe it will be greeted with great enthusiasm by law firms," says Lumsden.
"In the current economic environment, law firms are actively looking at ways to cut costs, enforce compliance with policies, and streamline labour intensive business processes. Chrome River Expense can be implemented without the need for any capital expenditure on hardware or software, and it can be rolled out swiftly, helping firms to better control the personnel expense claim and reimbursement process."
Chrome River founder, Alan Rich, says Tikit has established an excellent reputation servicing a wide range of law firms throughout the UK and Europe, and is the perfect organisation to promote and implement the service.
"We have developed this solution specifically for the needs of professional services firms, and this is the space which Tikit is dedicated to. They are well aware of the problems law firms face in controlling personnel expenses, and managing the claim-to-reimbursement process."
"Furthermore, they have a rich depth of consulting and implementation resources which will enable them to introduce this service as quickly as demand requires. We are extremely pleased to have such a quality partner with which to work."
Chrome River's expense reporting solution is designed using the latest rich internet application technologies and is delivered through the SaaS (software as a service) model, providing law firms with the ability to get a rapid return on product investment.
