CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
Amicus Attorney can probably be deployed very well in a law office that has a manager specifically dedicated to making it run smoothly, and who can keep track of the contacts, etc. In our firm, no one can spend the time to do this, so the information stored by Amicus gets a little disorganized, which has the effect of slowing us down

LexisNexis
Extremely easy to import data. Management system is very easy to use as well. Lexis Nexis Firm Manager is well suited for use by a small firm when they need to organize large amounts of data. It is an easy to use tool that saves time and allows for more efficient use of staff and attorney's time.

Return on Investment
CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
  • Large software investment, if not properly configured and utilized this can be a time and money vacuum.
  • If law firm does not have a consistent personality among employees, buy-in may be difficult as it's a significant workflow change for users.
  • Can greatly benefit law firm if used properly and across board for all employees. Uniform data organization for cases and custom pages add to personalizing software for firm.
