Law Office Specific Software?
I've ranted about how attorneys are such slow adopters of technology. I've also mentioned once they do adopt technology they tend to use law office specific applications that are ... well let's say they make the average Microsoft program look lean and efficiently written. As result, I've not used a law office specific product for anything in years.
I'm not the only one. Grant Griffiths, the Home Office Warrior shares a lot of my concerns, and from what I can tell, uses technology very efficiently. He's also become aware of a law office specific program that might just break the mold, it's called Rocket Matters.
I've been using QuickBase (highly modified by little ol' me, because it's highly modifiable by non-programmers) and loving it for tracking first tasks, and now calendar and contacts. Rocket Matters purports to do this PLUS timing (which I would love, if it integrates with QuickBook, which I use for billing)
I'm getting a demo today, and we shall see. If it works, I'll be sorry about all the time I spent customizing QuickBase, but I've learned a lot, and I know I don't use many of QBase's capabilities. But unlike made for law firms software, if you don't use something, it's not still built in and slowing down the works.
But I am skeptical based on what I've seen marketed to attorneys in the past.
