<b>Product Review:</b> Equitrac Professional Enterprise Edition v4.63
In an ideal world, lawyers practice law and all else just … automatically happens. In the real world, however, it takes some real creativity, planning and top-notch IT tools and talent to free up attorneys and their support staff from manual processes, allowing them to focus on the core competencies and specializations that will benefit the firm and all its clients.
At a firm the size of Becker & Poliakoff, with more than 110 attorneys dispersed among 15 different offices throughout Florida, plus international and affiliate offices in Europe, the Middle East and China, the willingness to embrace technology and technological innovations has been a proven key to our ability to provide cost effective, high quality legal services to our clients. That's why we were very pleased when Equitrac introduced the latest version (v4.63) of its Equitrac Professional Enterprise Edition. Its ability to automatically synchronize Equitrac's cost-recovery solution with our time-and-billing software made integration seamless and has dramatically improved cost recovery at our firm.
