Javelan Brings Large Firm Practice Management Functionality To Small and Mid Sized Firms
For our mid-sized law firm, having a comprehensive and powerful practice management system is critical to day-to-day operations and continued business success. At Hopkins & Carley, a 45-attorney firm located in San Jose, Javelan is the practice management system we put in place for managing client accounts and firm accounting and finance work. Besides managing our financials, the software also allows us to provide our professionals with the information and reporting details they need to manage our firm and client business effectively and efficiently.
Since making the move to Javelan in 1997, we have utilized a combination of core financial modules such as accounts payable and general ledger integrated with essential client management and billing features. By implementing Javelan, we have gained the large firm functionality we were looking for at a reasonable small firm price. Javelan has become our core technology. We use it for everything; check runs, cash receipts, invoicing, collections, general ledger, and reporting. We are currently on Javelan's latest release, 3.13, and use most of the available modules including Client Management, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Collections Interface to ARCS, Task Based Billing, Executive Inquiry System/Data Warehouse, and the Records Management Interface to Accutrac.
We track attorney time and monitor billing and key performance indicators such as realization and profitability. The on-demand availability of attorney and client performance activity, and the speed at which Javelan delivers it to our management team, has improved overall decision-making and allowed our firm to react much quicker to changes and trends.
