The Benefits of a Next Generation Database Platform
The effective use of new technology in litigation and practice support departments can be a source of substantial cost savings for law firms and their clients. At Thompson & Knight (“TK”), we have aggressively engaged in deploying these applications. Many law firms, including ours, have well-established software tools, such as Concordance, Summation, CaseMap and LiveNote, which have adequately met attorney needs. However, a new generation of applications that offer Web-based connectivity and extensive customization continues to make dramatic improvements and can now effectively replace a wide variety of existing software tools. Data processing tools have also evolved and are now well suited for use in law firms to prepare electronic data for use with these Web applications. Law firms that implement these new applications are well positioned to significantly improve efficiency, better serve their clients and dramatically reduce costs.
