By Rick Georges Typically when a software company upgrades a product, most of the time it simply adds bloated features to a bloated program, merely for the sake of the upgrade business. The integration with Amicus Attorney Pro has been improved, and the program provides every financial function that a law firm might want or need. The new version still keeps track of all time and expenses, handles billing and reporting and has full trust accounting.
Additional modules handle payroll and miscellaneous tasks.
The software was one of the first Windows-based time and billing packages and, as a result, has matured faster than its more expensive counterparts. Many of the changes will only be noticed and appreciated by users, such as the increase in data fields or law office customization. In the past, a purge of a client resulted in a loss of data, while the new version preserves essential client data after all matters for that client have been purged. Almost all data entries can now be corrected through a user-friendly correct function that is keyed to the type of data sought to be changed. Miss a slash, and the date wouldn't be entered.
