Take a look at your practice and ask yourself, "What works? What takes us time? What can we do better?" Then take a look at the existing tools that you use to manage your practice. You'll find that you probably fit into one of the following three categories:

Manual and AdHoc Process

You run your practice on pencil and paper with a loose collection of Excel spreadsheets and a system that has grown over time. This is very common in the smaller law firm and can result in a very well run practice. However, it also can mean disaster if your process isn't clearly documented and you need to bring on new staff; where are notes kept? Which matters are profitable? Where are you spending your most effort and how much return are you getting for it?

Traditionally, small practices have not been able to justify the start up cost of a Practice Management suite; software license and server costs which are geared towards firms of 15 people or more don't make financial sense with the 2 to 10 person firm. For LegalEdge, this is a perfect scenario. Our packages have no purchase cost (and for a limited time, no setup cost). There are no servers to install, no licenses to purchase.

End of Life Practice Management Suite

You run your practice on a Practice Management suite which is either not supported any longer or has an upgrade path which is cost prohibitive to your practice. An example of this would be the CLO platform, where clients are urged to migrate to CMS. You are faced with a serious choice and need to answer some questions to guide you through. Cost of operation, cost of initial aquisition, training, ease of use, staff satisfaction....

A LegalEdge consultant can help you assess whether LegalEdge is the right package for your firm by considering what you're migrating from and what you're requirements are. And as we're experts in data migration, moving your data from your current Practice Management into LegalEdge will be a quanitfiable variable. We'll provide a written quote and timeframe for the process.

Exisitng Practice Management Suite

You run your practice on a Practice Management suite which is current and supported in the market right now. For you, the question is the most difficult: "Is my current Practice Management suite harming my business and would I benefit by migrating to a new platform?" There is no simple answer to the myriad of variables: cost, support, training, ease of use and reliability. We can, however, assist you in assessing your practice and determining if a change is warranted.

The Decision is Key

At LegalEdge,we do not want to bring your practice on as a client if:

1. it will cost your business more than you currently pay
   
2. it will be more difficult for you to use
3. it will not increase your productivity

Call us and let us assist. We may be the perfect fit for your business. Or we may be able to show you how to utilise your existing systems in a better manner without migrating to us. And we're ok with that because sooner or later, you'll need to migrate to a new Practice Management Suite and you'll know that we've got your best interests at heart.
