A CRM (Client Relationship Management) System
helps to manage the many people-based client or personnel-based relationships.
CRM provides note pads relative to every conversation or communication
with the client. These notes are date-stamped with the person who recorded
the note. Note pads are available throughout the system. CRM is an extension
to the basic Lotus Notes address book and therefore is very easy to use.
CRM also provides user definable fields. These fields can be set up to
be edit checked, drop downs, radio buttons, etc.

The information inserted into
user-definable fields can be automatic and can be updated from the
LMS V data warehouses.

 |
For example, the attorney can see such items as work in process, accounts
receivable, credit limits, client/matter numbers, associated matters,
documents from the document management system, etc. |

| CRM provides automatic
reporting. Any contact can be viewed by client or by matter. For example,
if the user needs to see all of the contacts related to that matter,
a "view" is provided. Views can be provided by area of law,
by delinquent collections, by prospects, by person contacts, by fax
or e-mail, etc. The user administration can be taught how additional
and custom views can be created for the firm or an individual. CRM
seamlessly integrates LMS V data into one simple-to-use attorney desktop.
Attorneys live in CRM in order to easily manage the many complex relationships
between clients, matters, and people. It provides full circle reporting
of client, matter, financial, contact, date/event, user definable,
or document/knowledge related information. |
