Rapid ROI, Easy Integration With Equitrac Print Tracking & Cost Recovery Solution

By Joseph P. Travaglini and Katie J. Craig
December 21, 2007
In law offices of any size, investment in capital improvements is an undertaking that requires considerable deliberation; given the lightning speed at which technology is moving in our world today, that's doubly so when it comes to investment in IT purchases.

Issues of scalability as the firm grows, integration with existing and legacy IT infrastructure, the quality of the end-user experience for attorneys and staff, as well as the perceived and real pass-along benefits to the firm's clients must all be taken into account.

All these considerations take on additional significance for small- to mid-sized law firms, with the impact of the size and timing of investments on the ability to grow the practice and provide service can be immediate and readily apparent. At The Van Winkle Law Firm, with our 36 attorneys and total support staff of 75, our growth projections and supporting investment need to reflect our firm's longstanding commitment to sound and responsible handling of our clients' needs. When it comes to IT, that means solid, well-conceived expenditures in support of both our short-term operational requirements and our mid-term planning projections.

Our decision to upgrade to Equitrac Professional 5 was based on the knowledge that its ability to integrate with our existing infrastructure, plus its relatively rapid return on investment, would not hamstring our operational or budget requirements in the short-term. At the same time, EP5's scalability for adding additional workstations and functionalities in the future fit nicely with our firm's plans for growth and infrastructure expansion.
