CRM Software & Law Firms

Here’s an interesting article I found about how Contact Resource Managment (CRM) software can increase a firm’s continuity and lead to greater profits.  Not registering a “10″ on your interest scale?  Okay, fair enough.  But if you’re not using some kind of CRM software at your firm it’s probably worth reading. The author makes a number of good points on how CRM software can be a boon to profitability for law firms and that’s probably of interest to many.  The ironic thing I found about this article is that for all the good points the author makes in relating CRM software to profitability, almost every practice managment program today contains A LOT more than CRM functionality.  So if you find the article compelling, take a look at some of the practice management programs today. The case for those is even more compelling…

Shadow Copy in Vista

Okay, I have to admit shadow copy is my friend.  As an IT professional I always urge people to save as they go along and for the most part I’m pretty good at taking my own advice.  But I think everyone has gotten deep into a document at some time or another and forgot to hit the save button.  Of course that’s the time something happens and you lose the last 2 hours of work.  Yeah, I hate that Murphy guy, too.  Anyhow, newer Vista users may want to take a peek at an article I found that shows you how to configure the service in Vista.  Keep in mind, however, that shadow copy may have a place within your firm’s backup strategy, but it isn’t a substitution for a good backup/disaster recovery policy.
