InOutsource

What InOutsource does

InOutsource is a Philadelphia-based, founder-owned consulting and software firm that provides implementation, advisory, and managed support services to law firms, with selected expansion into accounting and consulting firms. The firm specializes in Intapp software deployment (Intake, Conflicts, Terms, Time, Billstream, Flow), information governance and records management, risk management consulting, data and analytics, cost containment, document management systems (NetDocuments, iManage), and Microsoft 365/Purview-based data security. It claims flagship Intapp Power Partner status and has completed over 200 Intapp Risk Projects with a 100% success rate, supported by what it describes as the largest team of Intapp-certified intake and conflicts experts (21 full-time staff including 4 integration specialists and 3 lawyers).

Underlying the consulting practice is a portfolio of proprietary software products: Nectar (a risk e-learning LMS), HiveMind (concierge client support), New Case Filing Intelligence (real-time BD/KM alerts), Intake Intelligence Analytics (intake dashboards), and Audit Letter Workflow Automation. The firm also maintains implementation partnerships with NetDocuments, Microsoft (Solutions Partner for Security as of May 2026), FileTrail, and Boomi for systems integration. Founded in 2000/2002 by Nancy Beauchemin and operating from a remote-friendly Philadelphia headquarters, InOutsource serves more than 100 law firms cumulatively, with disclosed enterprise clients including DLA Piper, Baker Botts, Ballard Spahr, Shearman & Sterling, Fisher Phillips, Shumaker Loop & Kendrick, and Dickinson Wright.

The business model is a professional services mix: custom, multi-year enterprise engagements priced on a quote basis, supplemented by proprietary software and training subscriptions. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting Am Law 200 and large law firms, reinforced by peer referrals (96% re-engagement, 94% responsiveness per 2020-2022 client survey), thought-leadership content marketing (resource library, "The Buzz" newsletter), webinars, lunch-and-learn events, and conference presence at ILTA and ARMA. Distribution is direct; there are no reseller or self-serve channels. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
