Business Partners
Partnerships
and strategic alliances play a key role
in Rippe & Kingston's delivery of Law Firm
Software solutions that drive results
and create value for our clients. Next to
our law firm clients, partnerships and alliances
are the most important relationships we
build. To complement our law firm
management applications, services and solutions,
we have partnered with technology firms
to deliver the best in law firm management
software.
Premier partners include AVNET, IBM, Microsoft, Open Source Technology, CiBTS and help/systems. Rippe & Kingston's identification of the right partner involves much more than just deciding who has the best "laundry list" of services, features or functions. It also means making the right long-term relationship decision, because our business partnerships have a direct impact on our clients' future success.

for law firms, corporate legal departments

- The company's business model
is built to support two principal goals:
helping clients succeed in delivering business
value by becoming more innovative, efficient
and competitive through the use of business
insight and information technology (IT)
solutions; and, providing long-term value
to shareholders.
Microsoft
- Rippe & Kingston
has developed a strong relationship with
the Microsoft Corporation. Our customers

Open
Source - Although not
a vendor in the traditional sense, Open
Source Technology is as important if not
more important than any single vendor.
Open source software is software whose source
code is published and made available to
the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify
and redistribute the source code without
paying royalties or fees. Open source code
allows us rapidly deliver new features
without our law firm clients paying
nearly as much as our competition charge
for R&D. Two of the more prominent
uses of open source in our offering are
JAVA and JBoss Application Server.
Sequel
- Sequel is now part of help/systems.
LMS incorporates Sequel to provide our
law firm clients ad hoc queries to executive
dashboards via the Web.
