• Case management system win
Australian national law firm Thomson Playford Cutlers (TPC) has successfully piloted the latest version of the Caseflow Enterprise Product 8.6 for Will Creation in their Melbourne Office. The firm, which has offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, has selected Caseflow’s Enterprise product for a 360 user, firmwide roll out in 2010. The next phase of the rollout – into the Mortgage Recoveries area – has already begun user acceptance testing.
Tim Miller, TPC’s technology director said "The Workers Compensation department in our Melbourne office had been successfully using the Caseflow Desktop Client for several years and it made sense to explore the possible application of other parts of the product line throughout the firm. Caseflow Enterprise had the added advantage of its ability to integrate with our core systems (Aderant Expert, Outlook and Autonomy iManage). The Enterprise product provides us with the ability to automate documents directly from iManage and then seamlessly profiles and saves the resultant document back into the DMS. These factors together with the knowledge that Caseflow’s Enterprise product presented a commercially viable Clause Library were all key factors when making the ultimate decision to go with Caseflow."

• TechShare visitors go away happy
Finally, delegates attending last week's TechShare event in Sydney appear to have gone away happy. Swerdlove created TechShare event after identifying a gap in the market for a highly collaborative technical workshop for law industry staff. “Having been to many law technology conferences in the last few years it became clear that the focus was on showcasing new technology rather than discussing current experiences of technology” said Swerdlove director Derek Giles. Feedback from TechShare’s intensive day of workshops was positive, with all of the delegates gaining an insight from their peers and also from Keynote speakers Tom Jones (Iridium Technology), Luke Kean (Clayton Utz) and Jon Short (Moray & Agnew).

OpenEFT is an application that extends Aderant Expert, Keystone or Elite applications by providing electronic payment of vendor/employee invoices directly into their bank account, thus removing the need to print a cheque to be sent in the mail. Payment processing and notification of payment takes place in a single, rapid process. “We discovered that the continual, incremental cost of paying vendors by cheque was starting to affect our bottom line” said the firm's finance manager Anthony Bill. "The process of paying invoices using manually generated cheques and sending them via mail has been part of our standard processes for years. An extended list of outstanding cheques, combined with the creation and distribution costs made it an administrative encumbrance. When these costs started to affect the bottom line we sought the opinion of our practice management system vendor who suggested OpenEFT as a viable option. What once took hours every month is now only taking a few minutes.” • Finally, DocAuto has published a case study showing how Norton Rose Australia (previously Deacons Australia) has used DocAuto WorkSpace Manager (WSM) to help combine DMS databases from its multiple locations into a single, centralized system on its Autonomy iManage WorkSite platform.
