How Can Online Case Management Save You Over $140 Per Month?

December 11, 2008 By

I’m a big fan of online case management applications.  In particular, I’ve become enamored of RocketMatter, an online case management system that I’ve been calling a “TimeMatters Killer.”

As readers of this blog will note, RocketMatter is also an advertiser here.  But before you jump all over me for shilling for dollars, let me tell you that I’ve been a fan of RocketMatter for far longer than they’ve been here.

More than that, the RocketMatter button on the site is an affiliate link – I get money from them only if someone signs up by clicking the link on the page.

So if you want to check it out and don’t want me to get a dollar out of it, go to the site directly.  I won’t make any money, and you will get a great system.

Anyway, back to the post at hand . . .

Objectively, it may appear that RocketMatter is expensive – way, way expensive.  Until January 1 the system prices out at $60 per lawyer plus $15 per non-lawyer staff member.  For a firm of 5, that comes out to $120 per month.  Annually, that’s $1,440.

Steep, huh?

Not so much, as the RocketMatter blog points out in a recent post.  As they say:

Think of all the costs involved with installations, upgrades, and training, and realize they go away if you use Rocket Matter. The true cost of a traditional legal practice management system, once you approximate the functionality of Rocket Matter, is very high.

For example, if you want to run Amicus Attorney in a multi-user environment, you need licenses, and you have 5 people in your firm.

For new licenses for Small Firm edition, they charge $499 for the first user, and $399 for additional users. There are annual maintenance fees of $295 for the 1st user, and $95 for each additional user. For training, it’s $399 for a bundle for 5 online training webinars. So for an average firm that would be $2,494 for the initial licenses and training, plus you would be paying $675 annually.

Pull out your calculator and add along with me.  By using RocketMatter instead of Amicus, you’d save $1,729 in the year alone – over $144 per month.

Wow.  Really puts it in perspective, huh?

So check out RocketMatter in one of two ways:

Via my affiliate link

OR

Directly to the site without giving me any credit whatsoever

Either way, you win big.  Just remember to let me know how much you love the system.

Introducing a New Web Based Case Management for Solo and Small Law Firms

February 21, 2008 By

Like many of you, I have been frustrated with the lack of law office specific case management software for the solo and small law firm. Oh, sure there is software out there. And some of it is great. And you have to mortgage the house and first born to afford it. Now there is an alternative. And let me tell you this. I have tried this new legal software and it is quite wonderful.

Most solos and small firms have embraced the use of web based technology the last few years. By taking advantage of this trend, Rocket Matter has developed a web-based practice management software. It is accessible from anywhere with Internet access. You can use it on a Mac, PC, iPhone, or even a Linux machine. You can log on and bill time from the office, home, or on the road.

The crew at Rocket Matter designed it to be as simple to use as possible. Your calendar, contact manager, matter manager, and time and billing software is rolled into one integrated, enjoyable product. You can generate invoices for all your billable matters with a single click of the mouse.

Their “Bill as you Work”™ technology captures your billable time as you go about your day. There is no need to total up hours at the end of the billing cycle or to figure out where your time went.

Getting started is easy. You don’t have to buy servers. You don’t have to pay someone to install Rocket Matter. You don’t even have to buy licenses. You only pay for the number of users you want, and that’s it. Best of all, you can save the likely $8000 you’d have to pay for a traditional practice management setup.

With Rocket Matter, you can sleep well, knowing you have daily backups and security managed for you automatically. And since Rocket Matter’s servers are in a redundant, premier data center, you have an instant disaster-recovery plan.

I encourage all of you to explore this great new product further. Sign up for an exclusive invitation and view a preview of the product at RocketMatter. Subscribe to their Product Updates to follow RocketMatter developments.
