Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen (Allen & Allen) has long looked to technology to help improve employee productivity and streamline manual processes to better and more quickly serve clients. Having grown to 120 employees (including 25 attorneys), our case and financial management software in particular, was in need of an overhaul.
