May 30, 2015June 9, 2011 by Seth Rowland

Today marks the one year anniversary of my time on the advisory board of FirmManager. I have seen the program evolve from an idea, to a concept, to a private beta and to a public beta, to a public product.

This Work Is BENEATH ME!!!

May 30, 2015June 9, 2011 by Seth Rowland

Just the other day I was making the case for practice management and workflow automation (aka Document Assembly), and I was given a novel reason for investing in such solutions. Novel, of course, is a matter of perspective. The reason offered was that practice management and automation would counter the issue of “this work is beneath me” proffered in a law firm.

New Life for Time Matters – GuestOffice

June 5, 2015June 7, 2011 by Seth Rowland

We recently upgraded our suite of Powerviews (Basha OMS and EPMS) to Time Matters 11. Along the way we have done several implementations of Time Matters mobility service. For the price (included with the AMP), it did supply some useful features, but the navigation and scope of data in it left much to be desired.

XpressDox Server and Salesforce – Bringing Docussembly to the Cloud

Yesterday, I had a long meeting with the developer of XpressDox to review recent additions to XpressDox document assembly platform. In this meeting, we reviewed recent developments to XpressDox’s hosted web-server offering ($29/month) and additions to its desktop development platform.

Credenza – Practice Management Lite

May 30, 2015May 29, 2011 by Seth Rowland

Basha Systems has recently gotten certified for Credenza, a product of Credenzasoft.com, but really a spinoff of Amicus Attorney. Check out our new subdomain for information (amicus-attorney.bashasys.com). The reason is really simple. Credenza is for those who are not ready for full blown legal practice management. It strikes a balance by including those features which most attorneys with practice management ACTUALLY USE.

Random Rant On Bottled Soda

May 30, 2015April 26, 2011 by Seth Rowland

It is with excitement that I entered my local A&P just as the sun was setting on the last day of Passover. At last, I could put the passover rules behind me and reach for the Corn-chips and corn-syrup based soda.

Time Matters 11 – HotDocs Active Integration (Bug Fix)

November 13, 2016April 26, 2011 by Seth Rowland

For 15 years I have been working with HotDocs and Time Matters, working to ensure the smooth data-flow between those 2 programs. We have used several methods, including (1) template registration and field mapping, (2) active integration (lookup from HotDocs), and (3) SQL database integration.

Yes … Keyboards …. Steve Job’s Influence

November 13, 2016March 10, 2011 by Seth Rowland

For the past 2 years I have used a Logitech DiNovo Edge wireless keyboard and mouse (Click here for info)It came with a charge stand, was super slim and light. Moreover, with I combined it with Multiplicity software, I could easily control multiple PC’s, just moving the keyboard to the PC. Yesterday, the battery died and I cried. No time on the charger would resuscitate it. There was no place to replace the battery (it was sealed) While I will be filing a complaint; I needed a new keyboard immediately And so my adventures in keyboard land began.

Time Matters/LNTPA Installer Error – InfoEnt.msi – On Open of Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer

June 5, 2015March 9, 2011 by Seth Rowland

I don’t normally post installer bugs, but this is one that crops up from time to time and is difficult to swat down. And so, for my purposes and anyone who works with Time Matters or LNTPA, here is the solution. This bug happens because the Time Matters installer as well as the update utility makes registry changes that require a reboot.
