WiseTime to join Anaqua to drive continued innovation in legal time and billing

We are thrilled to announce that WiseTime will soon embark on an exciting new journey as part of Anaqua – the leading global innovation and intellectual property (IP) management and legal connectivity technology provider. Together, we will join forces to enhance the efficiency of legal operations.

Over 10 years ago, leveraging our experience as practicing patent attorneys, we founded WiseTime to help drive efficiency within legal operations. Developed by attorneys, for attorneys, we have grown over the years to address the unique challenges attorneys face in operational efficiency, and today we see even greater opportunity ahead with an organization who shares our same vision. Since our initial interactions with Anaqua, it has been clear we share the same passion for leveraging technology to drive efficiency in legal operations.

Anaqua, the leading global innovation and intellectual property (IP) management technology provider has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Practice Insight Pty Ltd, and its intelligent time capture software WiseTime, from IPH Limited.

Our technology is an ideal complement to the breadth and depth of Anaqua’s solutions, and I know you, and our employees, will be well served. Anaqua will continue to enhance our flagship autonomous time capture tool as a standalone offering, in addition to investing in additional features and functionality to complement Anaqua’s two IP management software solutions, AQX® and PATTSY WAVE®.

As a member of IPH, Practice Insight has been at the forefront of developing IP business intelligence software, including its flagship offering WiseTime, a seamless and automated timekeeping solution. In leveraging Practice Insight’s technology for integrated IP time and billing functionality, Anaqua will enhance both AQX® Law Firm and PATTSY WAVE® as IP management platforms for law firms, while adding WiseTime, to its suite of standalone offerings.

We look forward to continuing to offer the levels of support, service, and connectivity to which our clients have grown accustomed, while leveraging Anaqua’s scale to invest in our core WiseTime tool and to develop new solutions that further serve your needs.

The transaction is conditional on regulatory approvals and other usual conditions and is expected to complete early in the third quarter. Read more in the official Press Release from Anaqua.

Our companies share a deep passion for leveraging technology to drive efficiency within IP operations. We have quickly developed a strong rapport with the Anaqua team and look forward to joining the organization, as we execute against our shared vision for an end-to-end IPMS for law firms.

Great tool for independent contractor! Extremely handy while working different projects for few customers. Another use case is to recall what you work on few weeks ago. ☺- automatic time tracking - smart tags assignments - timesheets generation ☹- can't really say anything, it covers all my current needs

WiseTime I was previously at a firm where I did not need to bill my time so this is new to me but I am very thankful that we use WiseTime because all I have to do at the end of the day is to group my time together and post it. It's simple and fast. ☺I enjoy the fact that I do not have to worry about timing myself when allocating a certain amount of time on a project because I know WiseTime will do it for me. I also love the fact that the software is integrated with Clio, our management program, to bill our clients so no extra steps involved. ☹Although you can pause WiseTime and have it start recording your time when you select maybe having a daily time schedule so when you're done with your day and use the computer without having to remember to stop recording non-work items.

WiseTime's Three E's: Easy, Essential, and Earns You Money The three E's come to mind when using WiseTime. It's Easy: Training employees to use WiseTime is quick and painless. It's Essential: I can work all day and not think of billing one time. This frees me up to do more billable work throughout the day. An essential tool in my productivity. It Earns you money: Before WiseTime, our firm was losing thousands of dollars in small daily tasks like sending a quick email or checking the status of a shipment. With WiseTime, we are able to track every single keystroke and mouse click throughout the day for an accurate count of what happened that day. There is no forgetting about a small task that can be billed out. I will never work without WiseTime running again. It is as simple as that. ☺In addition to its automatic time tracking, Wisetime is so easy to deploy and use. Getting new members set up to use WiseTime is a 1 minute process without all of the clunky steps most software makes you do. Training new employees to track their time is a quick 5 minute process that lends itself to earning more money for your business. ☹There is only one thing I do not like about WiseTime. When tracking time, there are too many clicks that are needed to track. While I understand the thought process that goes behind why it is set up the way it is (tracking one item throughout the day all at once), there are those that track by the hour at the end of the day. This causes more clicking and confusion.

Best thing I've come across to clear my head LOVE this software so mujch. ☺I love this software because I can now get on with my day and I have a bunch of different clients, this takes the stress out of chopping and changing which happens ALOT. I may be in the middle of something and a client calls and I chop over to them and it tracks it all without me having to worry or billing wrong. ☹I bill some clients in 10 hour blocks. I would love an option where I can choose for it to alert me when a certain number of hours are up for a particular client. Maybe add a date and say example: From 10 March let me know when 10 hours is up. It to send an alert...so then I know to invoice again wiuthout having to continually check and then sometimes I'm over the hours by the time I check.

Great Priduct ☺WiseTime helps me track the hours worked and the clients I did work for. Thus, it helps me record my time and do my billing. ☹Not the easiest to use. Also, does not track phone calls.

Best Time Tracking Application on the Market WiseTime's passive time tracking feature is what helped me make the decision. I don't have to start or stop a timer. I log in my computer for the day and don't worry about anything. WiseTime does the heavy lifting. ☺I've done the research, WiseTime provides the best passive time tracking on the market. ☹The only issue I've had with WiseTime is a few glitches with the desktop app.

Invaluable to my Busy Practice Wonderful product and I have been very happy. ☺It is very helpful that I can access it online from anywhere so that I can log my time. The integration with Clio is wonderful. ☹The logging of time away from my computer could be better. Would love to have the ability to see it all the time away for the day and lot it all at one time.

Easily Manage Time Tracking I have been using for almost 2 years in my consulting practices and it has really simplified my time tracking ☺It is easy to deploy and set up. Basic reporting meets my needs for the most part ☹I would like to be able to better automate and customize reports. Also - the ability to add more tags
