Features of Hosting - otherwise known as Cloud Computing or Software as a Service (SaaS)

No Capital Outlay

You can have access to the very best hardware, operating and application software without paying out large amounts of your capital to purchase these and pay for the installation and upkeep of them. You simply pay a monthly charge per user and you can be up and running straight away.

Predictable, Flexible Cost

Your subscription can be modified or cancelled at any time. If you need to add users on a temporary basis, they can be added and removed as required.  If you decide that a hosted solution is no longer right for you, we can move it on to your in-house network.

Software Rental

LawPro integrates with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook to provide comprehensive case management and document creation functionality and the licence costs for the use of these Microsoft applications is included in your monthly subscription. This means that the only application that you need to have on the computer accessing the Internet is a browser but you still have access to all the same application software and documents and files no matter where you are. The computer can be a Windows PC, Mac or Netbook – it just has to have a browser.

Security

Our hosted service runs on servers provided by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud one of the largest providers of hosted servers. We operate these in conjunction with our partners Accesspoint Technologies, specialists in all aspects of cloud computing. The Amazon Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.95% availability. Your data is backed up daily and the backups are stored on separate servers.

Operational Support and Additional Services

The hosted software model means that we effectively become your in-house IT department with access to fault fix and tune all aspects of the network providing your service and all of the software that runs on it. This relieves you of all concerns and un-planned costs associated with using the software. For an additional charge, we can provide book-keeping services or short term help or advice.

Who will this help?

Hosting will not be for everyone. If you have made a big recent investment in network and application software then you need to get a return on that but sole practitioners and start-up firms can be up and running with no capital costs and can work from anywhere. Firms with a branch network who find the cost of servers and network infrastructure prohibitive can benefit from access to top of the range servers with no capital outlay. Firms moving on from outdated hardware and application software can avoid the capital spend associated with a big replacement of their IT infrastructure.

Free Trial

We can arrange for you to have use of the system on a no-obligation trial basis. If you contact us to arrange a demonstration of the software we will then provide you with a time-limited guest log-in.
