You will consult with others throughout the organization to understand how the Software works not only from an ideal perspective but also the practical use perspective gaining best practice insights, technical awareness into our clients’ real-world use, and how the Products solve everyday problems for our customers beyond just the packaged feature bullets. That is, you understand how each product impacts our customers’ lives from system integrations to reporting to real feature use, and back again, where our services help them get the most value, and where other software fails them by not providing the robustness of the CounselLInk and LexisNexis family of software and content richness.
