A hypothetical morning with a managing partner, a fresh cup of coffee, and the first day of the billing cycle. In seconds, IQ returns revenue, billed and collected totals, and WIP in one view. Each figure carries a numbered citation chip. One click opens the sources drawer and shows the exact Centerbase records behind the number.

Centerbase IQ™ is AI-powered intelligence built directly into the Centerbase platform. It reads your firm's Centerbase data, including matters, clients, attorneys, time, billing, invoices, and payments, and turns it into answers, charts, and tables you can use right away.

AI Is changing how law firms use business data. Law firms don't have a shortage of data. They have a shortage of easy ways to get answers from it. Every day, a midsize firm generates valuable business information through timekeeping, billing, payments, matters and other practice management activities. But answering a specific question can still require finding the right report, working through a dashboard, exporting data or waiting for someone to create an analysis.

A platform built on Microsoft decides your architecture for you, while a platform built to work with Microsoft adapts as your firm changes. A Microsoft 365 integration should stretch the investment your firm has already made, without committing your firm to a stack of licenses or extra consultant fees. Total the cost through year two. Then test whether the AI understands trust accounting or can analyze your firm's financial health, and time how long it takes to produce a report you can make decisions on.

A new integration with Scan Logic brings AI-powered e-billing and OCG compliance into the Centerbase platform.

Running a firm can sometimes feel like your answering a hundred small questions that come up over the course of a day. These questions shouldn't be difficult to answer, but they can slow you down, especially when the answer might mean sending an email or leaving a voicemail and waiting for a reply. That's the gap AI Assist is here to close.

Most firms already use AI. Far fewer can prove how the work got done. That distance between using AI and governing it is where your professional exposure is. This is not simply a technology problem, although the right technology can help. It is, however, a leadership decision about how your firm operates.

The busiest attorneys lose the most time, not because they’re careless, but because reconstructing a day from memory never quite works.
