For most law departments, Serengeti is the most price competitive e-billing and matter management system, particularly when considering other vendors’ hidden costs and charges to law firms.
Our fixed pricing model
- Fixed Monthly Usage Fee
With Serengeti, companies pay one, fixed month fee based upon their annual legal spending. There are no hidden fees for support, adding users or matters, maintenance, or upgrades. - One-time Setup & Training Fee
There is no large, up-front cost to get started. New customers only pay a one-time setup and training fee, equivalent to two months of usage charges - Optional Data Conversion Fee
For a one-time fee, Serengeti can also upload data from your current system or database
No Hidden Costs
- No charges for annual system maintenance
- No charges for new law department users or law firms (i.e. no "per-seat" charges)
- No charges for system upgrades
- No ongoing support or training charges
- No internal IT support costs to install, maintain, or upgrade system hardware or software
- No significant investment of time during setup—training takes only an hour and system configuration takes a couple of hours
No Charges to Law Firms
- No law firm charges that will come back to the client directly or indirectly (in the form of higher legal bills or lower discounts)
- No special firm software, downloads, or invoice configuration that can delay implementation
- No incentive to connect only the largest law firms, leaving law departments with a second system to deal with paper bills from smaller firms and foreign firms—and incomplete spending reports
Preferred Pricing Programs
GENERAL COUNSEL ROUNDTABLE PREFERRED PRICING"We are delighted to begin our new vendor preferred pricing program with Serengeti," said Steven Williams, Managing Director, General Counsel Roundtable (GCR). "We believe that Serengeti will provide a strong start to this program by offering exclusive multi-year discounts to our members for a service that received high ratings in our technology survey of users—ratings consistent with the positive feedback that we've heard from GCR members that use Serengeti's service." |
Traditional matter management systems— consider the hidden costs
When it comes to paying for most matter management systems, law departments can expect large upfront fees, pricing that changes with the amount of users and legal bills, hidden costs for customization and maintenance, and charges to law firms. Then there is the lost time in training staff and law firms, upgrading hardware and software, and changing the ways attorneys currently work. The uncertainty associated with the cost of traditional matter management systems is not acceptable to many law departments.
Serengeti offers a simple alternative
By contrast, Serengeti’s pricing is simple. We charge a fixed monthly fee, which permits law departments to accurately
budget for the system. The fixed fee is determined from your
estimate of system use, with no monthly fluctuations or hidden
costs. Plus, our Web-based software approach allows us to charge a
fraction of the price of other systems.
