Experienced guidance, built around trust.
Plunkett Systems LLC is the independent consulting practice of Kelly Plunkett.
For more than two decades, Kelly has helped organizations navigate document management, business systems, and technology transitions, with deep experience in legal and professional services environments. Her work spans implementations, migrations, repository transitions, extractions, training, and post-go-live support.
The difference is understanding how people actually work, how organizations make decisions, and how systems succeed in the real world.
20+ years of legal technology consulting experience, including complex document management implementations, migrations, and repository transitions.
When projects are complex, experience matters.
The experience
Kelly's career began inside law firms, where she worked directly in legal operations before moving into technology consulting. That experience shaped how she approaches every engagement today: practical, hands-on, and grounded in the realities of day-to-day work.
Over the years, she has guided organizations through document management implementations, data and document migrations, business system transitions, training, and change management — helping teams navigate complex transitions with practical, experienced support.
Clients work directly with Kelly from beginning to end. No handoffs. No layers of account management. Just experienced guidance and practical execution.

How Kelly works
Technology should support the way people actually work, not create more friction. The best solutions are often the clearest ones.
Recommendations only matter if they work in the real world. Every engagement is grounded in practicality, adoption, and long-term success.
Complex transitions require partnership. Kelly works closely with clients through planning, implementation, migration, and change.
Plunkett Systems is intentionally small and founder-led, allowing clients to work directly with an experienced advisor throughout the life of a project.

Outside of work
Outside of consulting, Kelly enjoys travel, hiking, cooking, history, food, and wine. If she had taken a different path, she might have become a historian or archaeologist — professions driven by curiosity, context, and understanding how things fit together.
It turns out those instincts are useful in consulting too.
