“Business-oriented law firm management” means that in addition to file management, deadlines and invoices, Vertec also provides you with all the important data for the economic management of your law firm. This is completed by our “best-of-breed” understanding of software and our practice-based industry expertise for the rapid development of individual functions. The concept is based on easily customizable functions, which yet cover 80 % of the industry's standard requirements.
With only little effort, your specific requirements can be implemented in your software solution quickly and easily. Vertec stands for industry expertise, developed together with our customers in Germany and Switzerland.
Each law firm has individual requirements – be it for mandate processes, approvals or individual evaluations. Throughout our implementation projects, customer solutions are created that fit exactly to the relevant law firm. Our know-how from these implementation projects is used to further develop our software and make it better.
Different customer projects thus create a common basis for functions such as invoice splitting or deadline management. As soon as a completed function is ready, we publish it for free as an “additional feature” on our Knowledge Base. This is how industry expertise becomes software.
The field-proven additional features usually provide at least 80 % of the functionality of a requested function. The 20 % remaining can be delivered lightly and quickly with individual adjustments.
The migration of data from legacy systems to Vertec is an important part of a successful implementation project. The blog article What is a good balance of migrated data? shows the differences between minimal variants and full migration.
As for law firms, data must also be considered for the conflict check. Our experienced project management team has already supported numerous migrations and is happy to support your law firm as well.
