"Multi-Function Capabilities": more than a synonym for "Integrated"

Many applications claim to be integrated. The applications we have developed have been integrated, and that integration has been one of their key strengths. Applications can integrate different types of data: for example, LawStream (Pro and Classic versions) can integrate timekeeping and billing and accounting). LawStream Pro, though, offers not only data integration, but also the integration of what you can do with the data. When you get LawStream Pro, you are not getting just a data base application. You are also getting a word processor, spell-checker, pdf-document generator, timer, document organizer, and quite a bit more.

Here are some of the things you can do with LawStream Pro:

• check urgent "memos to self" at the start of your day
• send and receive inter-office memos
• organize your reminders
• enter information about a new client/customer/contact
• save a picture of your new contact
• send an email message to the new contact
• prepare some mailing labels for the contact
• open a file/matter/project for the contact
• specify default billing and accounting information for the new file/matter/project
• record your time for services for that person
• record an expense for that person
• create reminders (including special reminders for appointments and deadlines) for that new file/project
• prepare and save a standard form for general use in your business
• save special custom variable data for the new file/project
• use the custom variable data as input for the standard form you have created
• create other documents on-the-fly within the program, taking advantage of shortcuts like glossary entries
• take advantage of the built-in spell-checker while preparing documents
• save a document as an rtf file, for use by other word processors
• save a document directly as a pdf document
• send a pre-defined quick-letter to the new client/contact, confirming what will be done
• send a memo to someone else in your office, and create a reminder automatically from that memo, for follow-up
• look after the accounting for money paid by the client, and bills sent to the client
• create entire sets of reminders based on rules you specify, for the new file/project
