Save your firm time and money with Google Apps

In our office, we use Google Apps to manage our email and calendar. The great thing about it is you can get a custom domain, for example, yourlawfirm.com, and a custom email address that is all basically a free Gmail account. Google Apps standard is free and lets you manage up to 50 email accounts, each with 7 gigabytes of storage.
A huge benefit to Google managed email is the best spam filter in the business. Tired of junk mail or spam? Google catches 99% of and puts it in a spam folder instead of your email inbox. If your firm uses Outlook or Outlook Express, they can easily be configured to check your Google account, so your staff doesn’t have to learn new software.
Also included in the Google Apps engine is Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Sites. The calendar function is easily shared to multiple users, and easily synced to an iPhone or Blackberry.

Is Apple’s new iPad the tablet lawyers have been waiting for?
Posted by Ron in .PDF, Cloud, Digital Office, Email, Making the Switch on January 27, 2010
While we don’t know everything there is to know about Apple’s iPad yet, I’m very excited about it. Announced today at Apple’s Keynote address, it looks to be a popular product. Mobile email, photos, video, web, digital books, and a nice office suite sure make it a tempting product. Throw in 3G wireless speeds and get a mobile office in your briefcase. Is this the tablet we’ve been waiting for? I sure hope so.
Imagine needing a case from lexis in court. Get it immediately and display it on the iPad’s screen. Read the case like a book, email it, high light text, and save it.
If you can write on the screen with a stylus, I’m sold.
