Client: National litigation firm with 500+ attorneys across 18 U.S. offices, handling complex commercial litigation and regulatory matters for Fortune 500 clients.

Challenge: The firm's Legal SAP Inventory Management needs were unmet by a legacy system that couldn't track evidence inventory across office locations, resulting in 23% of case materials being misplaced during trial preparation and failed ABA audits due to inadequate chain-of-custody documentation.

Challenge: Legal SAP Inventory Management requirements included HIPAA-compliant tracking of medical evidence, pharmaceutical samples for litigation, and regulatory filing documentation.
