Friday, 05 February 2010 11:42
MBM Commercial based in Edinburgh’s city centre has selected Pilgrim’s LawSoft SaaS solution to support its expanding business. The firm split from Murray Beith Murray in 2005 and has since focussed on delivering excellent service to corporate clients. In so doing it has established an enviable reputation in a number of fields including Corporate Finance, IP & Technology, Commercial Property, Dispute Resolution and Employment Law.
The firm has opted for Pilgrim’s Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. Users will access the system online, needing nothing more than a PC/laptop and an internet connection. MBM need not concern themselves with managing servers, adding new users, or managing upgrades. By opting for LawSoft SaaS the firm immediately benefits from having a sound disaster recovery solution in place. The firm pays for the service on a per user per month basis thus negating the need for any front loaded capital expenditure.
Pilgrim sees the move towards Cloud Computing as inevitable and is confident that the legal profession will be part of this revolution. LawSoft SaaS is a step along the journey to full Cloud Computing and Pilgrim expects more and more of its clients, both existing and new, to adopt this method of software provision, given the undoubted benefits that this shift delivers to firms.
MBM Commercial’s Managing Partner David Calder stated, “We have been looking for a new practise management system for some time. We knew of LawSoft in 2005 but the price of implementing it was beyond the means of a start-up practice. However, now the SaaS offering allows us to take advantage of advanced enterprise standard software delivered over the Internet paid for via an affordable subscription model. We expect to reap a number of benefits with our new system in areas like document management, slicker billing, capturing more time and real-time KPIs.”
Colin Kennedy Pilgrim’s COO said, “We are delighted to welcome MBM Commercial to our ever swelling customer base. Like David, I expect the take-up of our SaaS solution to increase over the coming months. More and more firms will now be able to exploit the sophisticated tools that LawSoft delivers, whilst avoiding the large upfront cost that is traditionally associated with such a purchase. More and more firms are looking at ways of funding IT investments from revenues as opposed to capital expenditures. LawSoft SaaS supports this trend.”
