Togut approached his firm's accounting and MIS consultants about making a switch to the Macintosh environment. This proved to be a groundless declaration that only exasperated him more because he knew better, having used a Mac at home since its introduction in 1984. Togut fired his accounting firm, a brazen thing to do considering it is one of the world's largest international accounting firms and one that prides itself as the foremost authority in the consultation of law firms. Brand new Macs were purchased, installed, and up and running the very next day. And, all of the firm's documents, spreadsheets, and files were converted to the Mac environment without a hitch.
Time means billings.
And, billings mean money in the bank. With the Macintosh in place, Togut's team experienced greater productivity in an easy and creative environment within weeks of its installation. He reports that they are employing a shared calendar program, jointly using a common database of names, keeping time records for billing purposes, creating spreadsheets, and using remote access to work from home. I can't articulate this adequately. Togut credits the intuitive nature of the Macintosh and its ease of use for part of his firm's success.
