In 2002 the State of Massachusetts deployed LexisNexis Time Matters for Legal Time and Billing to support the Department of Labor Relations case management environment. During the audit period DLR used LexisNexis Time Matters as its case management system for managing all nine of its case types and their related workflows, positioning the application as the primary source for case records and operational reporting.
LexisNexis Time Matters was configured to support core case management capabilities including intake, workflow orchestration across multiple case types, and ad hoc query execution. The system’s query and reporting capabilities were used to run ad hoc, monthly, and year to date queries to obtain case management metrics and generate operational reports, integrating case lifecycle tracking with time and billing functional terminology consistent with the Legal Time and Billing category.
Operational integration included collaboration with MassDOT and MBTA database administration teams to generate current data files from multiple applications, explicitly extracting files from InsLaw for MBTA claims and from Time Matters for MassDOT labor relation records. Governance during the audit period emphasized coordinated data extracts and DBA led file generation to feed DLR reporting and metrics, and the implementation covered DLR operational functions for case intake, adjudication, and reporting across the agency.
