Technology Review & Implementation Oversight

Where systems are live but not delivering benefits, Wycane conducts independent reviews to diagnose issues with configuration, adoption, governance, or workflow alignment.

We stabilise delivery, reset priorities, and help firms extract value without re-running entire projects.

Law Firm Use Case

Recovering Value from a Stalled Technology Implementation

Client Overview

A well-established law firm has recently implemented a major operational system as part of a broader transformation initiative. The investment is significant and was intended to improve efficiency, reduce cost, and modernise ways of working across the firm.

The system is live and in use, but leadership is concerned that the expected benefits have not materialised.

Challenge

Despite completing the implementation, the firm is not seeing measurable improvements. Lawyers and staff are frustrated, and confidence in the programme has declined.

Key issues include:

  • No demonstrable improvement in efficiency, time saved, or cost reduction

  • Low and inconsistent adoption across practice groups

  • Lawyers and support staff spending time working around the system rather than benefiting from it

  • Limited post–go-live engagement from the vendor that led the implementation

  • Fatigue following a large change programme that has not delivered visible outcomes

The firm recognises it has a live, heavily invested system that is underperforming and requires independent intervention.

Our Approach

Wycane is engaged to provide independent Technology Review & Implementation Oversight, focused on recovering value rather than restarting the original project.

Our approach includes:

  • Conducting a rapid but thorough review of how the system is configured, used, and supported in practice

  • Assessing alignment between the technology, actual workflows, and the firm’s operating model

  • Identifying gaps between intended benefits and real-world usage

  • Reviewing governance, ownership, and accountability for the system post-implementation

  • Re-establishing priorities focused on business outcomes rather than technical features

Where required, Wycane provides hands-on oversight to stabilise the environment and guide targeted remediation without disrupting ongoing operations.

Expected Outcome

The firm regains clarity and control over its technology investment, with:

  • Clear visibility of why the system is under-delivering

  • A prioritised remediation plan focused on adoption, usability, and workflow alignment

  • Defined ownership and governance for ongoing optimisation

  • Reduced reliance on lawyers to resolve system issues themselves

Probable Impact

The firm benefits from:

  • Improved utilisation of existing technology without further major capital investment

  • Lawyers able to refocus on billable work rather than system workarounds

  • Renewed confidence that technology investments can deliver real business outcomes

  • A repeatable oversight model to prevent future technology initiatives from stalling or under-performing
