ROI: Ever Wondered What the Return
on Investment is for Legal Specialty
Software? |
|
Many law firms struggle with taking
the plunge and investing
in specialty software such as
document management, case management
or document assembly software. They
see the initial price tag associated
with software, installation,
customization and training, and
often they get a little bit of
sticker shock.
What they don't realize is the
cost of NOT implementing
software that will increase
productivity and efficiency.
What if the firm could recoup
their investment in 1-2 months?
Would it be worth it then?
 Some
malpractice carriers actually
discount premiums if firms use
certain types of software, which
is an added incentive to make
the investment. Would your
carrier cringe if the firm's
current procedures were known?
What if your paper data was lost
or destroyed? How would you
recreate it? All of these
questions are reasons to look at
legal specialty software, in
addition to the positive effect
it may have on your bottom line.
We have created several Return
on Investment (ROI) documents
that offer real life examples of
how certain types of software
can affect your pocketbook. For
a sample Document Management ROI,
click
here. For a sample Case
Management ROI, click
here.
And make sure you understand
that the key to a proper
implementation is not just
software costs. Any
software package is only as
good as the data being
entered by the people using
it. If staff is not
properly trained and if they
do not have a say in the
implementation, they will
not buy into the process.
Be sure to factor that into
the equation, with training
and customization costs, as
we did in our sample
documents.
