Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. TechnoRelease Most Popular November 24-December 7, 2008

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

THE NEW FUJITSU FI-6130'S "REVERSE ROLLER TECHNOLOGY" WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE NEEDS OF LAW FIRMS IN MIND
By Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.

When shopping for a scanner for your law firm or legal department, comparing the specifications is helpful. But don't buy a scanner based on specifications alone.

While the specifications will tell you how many documents the automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold, how fast the scanner can process them, and whether the scanner has duplex capabilities, the specifications will not tell you how adeptly the scanner can handle your documents.

Nothing will slow you down faster than misfeeds.

FUJITSU fi-6130 CAN HANDLE ALL YOUR SCANNING NEEDS ...

Recognizing that law firms in particular scan a wide array of documents in varying sizes, weights, and condition, our engineers developed "reverse roller technology" and incorporated it into the new Fujitsu fi-6130 workgroup scanner.

Translation — this advanced paper separation technology enables you to reliably scan a wider variety of documents. So go ahead and give the Fujitsu fi-6130 your toughest client files or discovery documents.

The Fujitsu fi-6130 also provides the following benefits:

• Compact: Scanners should be used, not seen. The Fujitsu fi-6130 has a footprint only slightly larger than a letter-sized piece of paper.

• Intelligent MultiFeed Function: Some double feeds such as a taped receipt are intentional. Others such as a staple you forgot to remove are not. The Fujitsu fi-6130 knows the difference.

• Speed + Duplex: The Fujitsu fi-6130 can process 80 images per minute in monochrome or grayscale or 60 per minute in color — all at a razor sharp 300 dpi. And yes, it has duplex capabilities.

• Capacity: The ADF handles 50 sheets.

Software: PDF has just about become a standard for scanned documents. The Fujitsu fi-6130 comes bundled with Adobe® Acrobat Standard as well as Kofax VRS® Professional (which improves the quality of your scans) and ScandAll Pro (which offers batch processing and job management).

SEE THE FUJITSU fi-6130 IN ACTION ...

Please take a moment to take a look at the FUJITSU fi-6130 in action.

Sincerely,

Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.

BILL AS YOU WORK™ WITH ROCKET MATTER. SAVE TIME AND MONEY! ELIMINATE I.T. HEADACHES! SIGN UP NOW TO LOCK IN SAVINGS.
By Larry Port, Rocket Matter, LLC

Rocket Matter is a new web-based practice management and time and billing solution, accessible from anywhere with Internet access, whether you use a Mac, PC, or iPhone.

Here's what one customer had to say:

"Rocket Matter is smart, intuitive and easy-to-use. It has changed the way I practice law and made it easier to keep track of my billing. It has made billing and case management more manageable, and definitely helped make me more profitable."
— Ronald Scott Kaniuk, Esq.

Recently, Rocket Matter rolled out some new features that really boost productivity and margins for your law firm. Read on to find out about Reports and Messages.

HURRY NOW TO LOCK IN SAVINGS!

On January 1, 2009, we will officially release our 1.0 product. Firms that sign up before the end of 2008 can lock in a discounted rate! After January 1st, we will be rolling out our new 1.0 pricing scheme.

SAVE TIME AND MONEY

Rocket Matter is designed to be as simple to use as possible. Your calendar, contact manager, matter manager, and time and billing software is rolled into one integrated product. Generate invoices for all of your billable matters with a single click of the mouse.

Our "Bill as you Work"™ technology captures your billable time as you go about your day. There's no need to total up hours at the end of the billing cycle or to figure out where your time has gone.

Imagine gaining back all of that billable time. How much more money would your firm earn per year?

Other cost savings: You don't have to buy servers. You don't have to pay someone to install Rocket Matter. You don't even have to buy licenses. You never have to upgrade.

You only pay for the number of users you want, and that's it. Pay month to month, and forget the thousands of dollars of upfront costs for a server-based system.

MIGRATE AND CONSOLIDATE YOUR DATA

Online legal software is a wonderful convenience. The good news is that you're not locked in to your existing solution. We'll get you out!

Rocket Matter will help you migrate your Outlook, Address Book, PC Law, Amicus, and Time Matters data over to the next generation of legal product.

INTRODUCING MESSAGES

Pink message pads are history! Now, with Messages, you can take phone messages and review them from any computer with Internet access. Take a look at this video to see Messages in action.

A breeze to use, Messages can revolutionize the way your firm handles its inter-office communication. This brand-new, extra functionality is available at no additional charge to our Pilot users. Legal SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) just got a lot more powerful!

INTRODUCING REPORTS

As you use Rocket Matter and bill time across matters and clients, you gather valuable information about the effectiveness of your efforts. Now, with Reports, you can easily get a quick view of the financial status and performance of your firm. This feature is also free of charge to our Pilot users.

We offer web-based reports to view aged accounts receivables, activity across all users and matters, status reports for all matters, and more!

And if you prefer to work with data in Excel, that's fine too, because each of our reports exports to CSV.

WHITE PAPER EXPLORES OUTLOOK'S SHORTCOMINGS — PLUS PRACTICEMASTER VERSION 15 BRINGS INSTANT MESSAGING TO LAW FIRMS
By Dan Berlin, President, Software Technology, Inc.

"Practicing law with Outlook is better than nothing, when it comes to the case management process," said legal technology legend Ross Kodner (24+ years legal technology consulting with MicroLaw and a 5-time TechnoLawyer award recipient) recently.

Hardly a ringing endorsement.

"Outlook organizes and calendars solely by person," observes Kodner. "Legal case managers, such as PracticeMaster, also organize by person — the same as does Outlook. But legal case managers also organize by case or matter. So if a partner, associate and paralegal are all posting docket entries to their Outlook calendars, and there is the need to see a case calendar, good luck. But in a legal case manager, one merely picks the case and sees a case-specific calendar, with all entries for all people involved, with all the other non-case related entries stripped away. This is an enormous functional, practical, and conceptual difference."

Our free white paper, How Practice Management Software Is Different from Outlook, explores this important topic further. Please download your copy now (no registration required).

PUT KODNER'S ADVICE TO THE TEST ...

Released this month, PracticeMaster Version 15 includes a number of enhancements that make this award winning practice management application better than ever.

For example, the new eNote feature in the Client Server Version of PracticeMaster Premier provides your firm with secure instant messaging. Unlike standalone IM applications, eNote enables you to link to records in PracticeMaster.

Also new is Tabs3 Version 15, the accounting and billing counterpart to PracticeMaster. The two applications integrate tightly with each other, eliminating duplication of effort and errors. Plus both PracticeMaster and Tabs3 now sport autofill technology to make data entry even faster.

MORE THAN JUST SOFTWARE ...

Unfortunately, many software companies stop paying attention to you after you purchase their product. The TechnoLawyer Archive is replete with complaints in this regard.

When you purchase PracticeMaster and/or Tabs3, we won't take you for granted. We believe that providing first-rate customer service and technical support is part of the product experience.

Thanks to this philosophy and of course our products, 90% of our customers recommend PracticeMaster and Tabs3 to their peers, and 95% praise the post-sale support they receive.

Thanks to this strong affinity among our customers, Tabs3 won the Law Technology News(R) Award for Timekeeping and Billing System in the small and mid-sized firm category for five consecutive years — a feat unequaled by any other product.

By Fujitsu Computer Products of America

Earlier this year, Robert McNeill, Esq. wrote:

"It's hard to beat Fujitsu's ScanSnap S510 ..., which includes a full version of Adobe Acrobat (not Reader) .... Go figure. You will need Acrobat to edit your PDF files anyway, and free is usually good."

• PDF: With the bundled Acrobat Professional software, you can scan directly into searchable PDF files. Perfect for your mail, discovery documents, and much more.

• Word: With the bundled ABBYY FineReader OCR software, you can scan directly into Microsoft Word and edit the document. Great for repurposing contracts, pleadings and other documents.
