Technology Consultations
Planning and technical expertise are essential to successfully implementing technology change to meet your firm's long-term needs. The law firm that takes full advantage of information technology will ensure it is in a better position to compete profitably in the future.
Equipment and software obsolescence is not a short-term problem. It’s easy for you to understand you need to update or add to your firm’s technology. It’s not so easy to understand how to accomplish the change. Finding a skilled technology advisor, knowledgeable in the unique requirements of law firms, is essential if the firm's technology dollars are to be spent wisely. This is a good time to call the Law Office Management Assistance Service (LOMAS) at The Florida Bar.
For example, perhaps you are contemplating a firm-wide technology upgrade. A LOMAS practice management advisor can conduct an on-site audit of your firm’s existing technology, identify problems, analyze and provide an impartial evaluation of your firm’s needs. A LOMAS Technology Audit and the resulting plain-English report can help you prepare an effective technology plan for the future.
Or, perhaps you already have a technology proposal from your local vendor, but you’re uncomfortable with it, and are wondering, “Do I really need that file server?” LOMAS can review the proposal and provide an impartial evaluation.
In addition to his seven years experience as a law firm administrator, PMA Jerry Sullenberger has more than ten years as an IT consultant and trainer, and is both a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) and a Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) among other IT certifications.
