Analysis: Over the years, their e-mail usage has grown from a few dozen messages a day to a few hundred. The amount of spam has also grown by an exponential amount during this same time period. An analysis of their e-mail traffic showed that they were receiving over 20,000 spam messages each and every day.
Solution: We wanted to provide a centralized solution – one that did not require updating every individual workstation on a regular basis. Spammers continuously create new and more aggressive methods to avoid detection so we needed a product that could keep up with automatic updates to keep their detection methods current. After testing numerous products over the years, we were able to implement a solution that effectively filtered over 98% of the spam received – all but eliminating this potentially crippling nuisance.
Additional Benefits: While implementing this solution, we also wanted to address the growing problem with e-mail fraud (phishing) and to provide filtering for viruses as well. By combining these aspects into a single product we were able to provide a complete solution and reduce their annual software maintenance costs.

Problem: Document management
Analysis: Coming from larger firms, the attorneys were accustomed to specialized document management and did not want to sacrifice this efficiency when forming their new firm. With nearly 100,000 documents and forms they needed an effective document management solution that would allow for instant retrieval of their documents using various search methods, including content searching.
Solution: Starting their new firm, they had enough expenses to worry about, so we wanted to provide a cost effective solution without sacrificing on features. We decided on a solution that did not require SQL which greatly reduced costs of implementation and maintenance, but still provided quick and seamless access to all of their documents.
Additional Benefits: By going with a solution that did not require an expensive database application, we were able to increase the longevity of the most expensive aspect of their new network – the server. This saved them money today and years down the road by reducing upgrade costs.
