“We are proud that over 250 companies have chosen Serengeti’s system to manage their legal work, far more than any other system,” said Don Murray, President of Serengeti Law. “While other vendors are trying to achieve profitability, or have been sold to larger companies, Serengeti has been profitable since 2003 and remains entirely owned by our employees. Because of our financial strength and independence, our customers can be confident that we will continue to provide the most advanced, most cost-effective system for managing legal work.”

In addition to significantly increasing its customer base in 2008 (including 106 of the Fortune 1000), Serengeti was the first company to process electronic legal bills from 100% of the world’s largest law firms—those that comprise the AmLaw 200, the NLJ 250, and the AmLaw Global 100. Serengeti also introduced innovative technology not offered by any other vendor, including the new Accruals Module which automates the arduous manual process of collecting unbilled legal work-in-process for accurate accrual-based financial statements. Since the rollout of the Accruals Module this past year, more than 2,300 law firms in 70 countries have submitted accruals to corporate clients through Serengeti.

With more than 43,000 employees in over 100 countries, AECOM is a leader in all of the key markets that it serves. “With projects from San Francisco to Abu Dhabi, our legal department is looking forward to standardizing processes, improving control of our legal spending, and reducing our environmental impacts with e-bills and electronic documents in Serengeti’s online system,” said Eric Chen, AECOM general counsel. “We selected Tracker because of its widespread acceptance in the legal profession, and its ability to meet the specific needs of our worldwide operations, including our sustainability initiatives. We’re happy to represent this milestone in Serengeti’s growth.”
