Firm Automation
Is the use of technology increasing your costs?
Regardless of your firms’ size or specialty all
law firms need to account for their time, manage clients
and cases, produce documents and monitor finances at
the lowest possible cost. Yet, the improper use of technology
can quickly raise the costs for a firm to conduct its
business. The proper use of technology and evolving
development of your firms’ workflow is key to
operating in a more efficient and profitable manner.
How can the use of technology eliminate the
benefit? There are many reasons as to why law
firms unnecessarily increase their operating costs due
to the use of technology that was supposed to solve
a problem or application need. This is particularly
true when staff members and attorneys are not aware
of the tools and approaches that everyone is using to
complete their work. For example, by giving each person
a choice as to how to record their time, prepare bills,
track deadlines, assemble routine documents, create
reports, etc., opportunities are created for unnecessary
redundancy that can reduce a firms’ profitability
by tens of thousands of dollars each year.
Would you pay the same bill twice?
Yet many firms re-input the same information from one
software application to another many more times than
that without a second thought. It is a cost that can
be amplified by a factor of ten or more when information
used in the billing system, is recreated again and again
in many systems and functions including, accounting,
case management, document production, email, spreadsheets,
databases; the list goes on and on at a tremendous and
unnecessary cost.
Do you want to end the cycle that is robbing
your firm of revenue and resources? By choosing
and properly using integrated time, billing, accounting,
and practice management software from the same company
you can end the re-input cycle once and for all. This
simple concept will give you instant access to a seamless
information gateway that moves vital case information
from one person and function to another in a mouse click
or two, in seconds or minutes rather than hours or days.
What is it worth to have the kind of functionality
in your systems that you were promised months or years
ago? You have spent enough of your billable
time and staff salaries trying to figure out how to
make just one program work for yourself let alone the
expertise necessary to tailor a system and the workflow
to fit the information and application needs for every
member of your firm or practice.
The missing link in the promise of technology
has always been how to make a suite of software applications
work around the unique needs of your firm – right
now. At Resource Advisors our clients realize
the enormous value of professional training and having
their software programs and workflow custom tailored
to fit their practice areas and unique culture. This
is far more than can ever be obtained from a user manual,
technical support department or even from someone “who
knows software”.
