Our Manilla folders have a serious IQ
We don’t mean to brag but we have built some serious intelligence into our Matters Management system. Imagine if your current dog-eared manilla folders had the power to instantly write customised documents with information that exists elsewhere, or even draft an email to the appropriate person with details located in other external management systems. Now imagine what you could do with this massive increase in productivity? Congratulations… meet FilePro.
Every matter detail at your fingertips
Having instant access to every aspect of a matter is not just crucial to efficient practice management, it’s about being professional and offering memorable customer service, and let’s face it, in the legal industry, impressions count.
Sharing files around the office
The key to FilePro’s rapid growth is its ability to share this intelligence amongst everyone in the office. In other words, everyone with access rights can see every aspect of every file at any point in time. We have even built in a powerful privacy facility meaning that sensitive data can be hidden from unwanted eyes.
Choosing the smart option pays dividends. Literally.
All this talk about productivity actually means something. Freeing up valuable time is the best way a business can generate more income, and FilePro was designed specifically for this task. By using efficient software like FilePro, your fee earners spend less time doing the mundane system work, and more time chasing those leads that you keep meaning to ring. Support staff are not forgotten either, as FilePro was designed for them too.
By developing innovative features such as integrating the Microsoft Office1 suite directly into the heart of FilePro, the demand on your support staff is dramatically less. Almost immediately, most FilePro customers see a productive shift towards a higher fee earning capacity along with a drop in required support, which can directly translate into increased profitability.
Our unique “Pay-per-File” pricing model has been specifically developed to be 100% legally recoverable through client billing (if required) meaning that switching to FilePro really does pay dividends.
Work hard, sleep easy
Running a legal practice can be stressful. Well… it used to be. FilePro has been developed in-conjunction with our team of legal professionals, so that you can run your practice at far higher capacity, without the need for expensive software, hardware, networking or staff. We use industry standard security surrounding our state of the art SQL database core, located on your private network to ensure that your staff have unhindered access to your valuable data. This means that you can relax after a hard day at the office knowing that your client information is safe, and your team did more work than was previously possible.
Sometimes great things start with one small step
It may feel like a big deal to change software and implement new systems into your practice but we have gone to huge efforts to make sure that this process is simple, quick and causes minimal disruption and expense. As an example, a typical 7 user firm will be upgraded to FilePro in 5 days – that includes all preparation, installation, testing, training and finalisation. Instant efficiency gains are reported by almost every customer, and we have many that say it’s the smartest business decision they have ever made. This is why we are very proud of our achievements with FilePro, and as you can see from our testimonials, it really does make a difference.
Your business, supercharged
Naturally we want to see every legal practice benefit from our software but before this can happen, we need to earn our place in your management strategy. This means designing and developing software which truly makes a difference in your business. The key to our success is in FilePro’s ability to boost your business productivity to new levels, through intelligent, integrated functionality and streamlined, natural workflow processes. Over the past 20 years of FilePro development, our designers and developers invested heavily in usability to ensure that they understood how legal practices actually use their software systems. We extensively tested and evaluated FilePro’s performance to ensure that our new (and existing) customers are pleasantly surprised how natural the workflow feels in FilePro. This is no accident.
By making FilePro fit you, rather than the other way round, staff automatically have a natural understanding of how to use the software, even from the very first time they use it. An excellent example is our tight integration with Microsoft Office1, where rather than re-invent the wheel, our developers understood the efficiency benefit of allowing staff to use the de-facto standards in office software (Word and Outlook1) to create documents and manage their communication and time. But this is just one aspect of the efficiency innovations we have built into FilePro. Super fast access to your data using your central server to take all the processing load, along with seamless sharing of data between files and systems, all mean that your staff are never sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for their machine to catch up.
Designed to fit your business
Future proofing your business used to be difficult, not to mention expensive, and businesses are fed-up with being held ransom to price hikes, staff re-training bills, business sell-outs and expensive compulsory upgrades. However, as you can imagine, FilePro is different. That’s because our team of developers and legal professionals who designed the software architecture realised that these factors were big hurdles for most practices. So we chose not to massage our ego’s and create some over-sophisticated proprietary software for core functionality, such as document assembly and time management. Instead we developed FilePro to be the best possible choice for your practice management because we concentrated on making our product seamlessly integrate and synchronise with Microsoft Office1, which all your staff already know and use every day. It’s this smart delegation of core tasks to familiar software that demonstrates our commitment to your business.
FilePro’s user focused approach doesn’t stop there – we are a team of real human beings who actually care about our customers. We would hate it if we were being forced to adopt new systems just because our chosen software provider had just been acquired, or because expensive upgrades were part of their business model. We have an absolute commitment to future development, with a multi-million dollar pledge to an already commenced future re-write of FilePro to accommodate and build on emerging beneficial technology.
But here’s the sweetest part – all our upgrades are FREE to every single one of our customers, and because we are an industry leading product, we are here to stay.
Your own 24hr company news channel
Knowing what is happening in your business is critical for effective management, which is why we have developed a unique customisable reporting facility. Being able to assess performance of not only your practice as a whole but also departments and individuals, means that we give you control not yet seen in your business. The data produced by these reports can be distributed in PDF or Microsoft Excel format for sophisticated graphing, plotting and charts. This visual representation of your business performance is vital is the decision making process within areas such as fees, staffing and workflows. So whether it’s an analysis of fee-earner productivity, or a report on outstanding debtors, FilePro can deliver.
