Considering what Lawyers are being asked to pay for pre-packaged paperless solutions for their offices.
Most law firms these days have a small office network in place to handle the operations of the business. Rather, it is almost impractical for them to be operating without some kind of a computer network in their offices. Unbeknownst to them, lawyers have over 90% of what they need to go paperless, at least on the hardware and the software side.
Lawyers have almost all the hardware and software needed, in their office, to convert their practice into a paperless practice.
However, they need to build up another asset to be able to go paperless in a very short time. The asset they need is CasesTracker. First, law firms first need to recognize the extreme importance of the need to go paperless and then develop a strong determination to do so within a short time and limited budget.
Recognition of the importance of going paperless is the major hurdle facing the law industry at this time. Many small law firms are still waiting on the sidelines to watch how this trend evolves.
Generally, that is not a very bad strategy. Not all trends become permanent in any industry and so a lot of times it is good to wait a little before getting on the bandwagon. However, paperless movement has been building momentum over a long period of time. In fact, it probably has been in discussions for over a decade. There have been some early adopters who benefited from it.
It is during the last few years that the capacity of the technology, that is being used in law firms, like other businesses, has increased tremendously at very affordable prices. Until a few years ago, going paperless in an law firm was a major undertaking as it would require upgrading of hardware and software in a significant way. With CasesTracker there is no software to download on your computer. All updates are done on the website. Now, there is no need to upgrade.
In that case, a typical small law firm just needs to add a couple of scanners at $300 each and a PDF converter software that can be purchased for about a $100 or less. A strong commitment to go paperless and a determination to get it done within a given time.
It is a very strange phenomenon. The technology is available and the need is there and yet most small law firms are not paperless, and one would hope that they are at least thinking about going paperless sometime soon. Why shouldn’t your law firm go paperless if you could do it within a reasonable budget? GotaCase is offering CasesTracker to you at no cost until 2016 and then it will only be less then $50 a month.
