This presentation explains how to build a firm from the ground up using low-cost technology, on-line resources, and better procedures. We discuss software solutions including cloud services like email, document storage and collaboration, online backups and VOIP. On the hardware side, we talk about laptops, Macs and Tablet PCs. We will also briefly explore and explain threats to your electronic data, and we will show you proactive, affordable ways to reduce or eliminate these threats, and the damage that they can do to your business.

- Allows you to run Windows Programs on a Mac. With Coherence, you might not even know that it is not a Mac. You will need to purchase a Windows Operating System. Parallels ($80): http://www.parallels.com/ Windows 8 OEM ($100) : http://tinyurl.com/bj4kh6u
- All of these link with Microsoft Exchange to get Contacts, To Dos, and Calendars. They are probably more Legal Specific Apps on the iOS system but that is changing. iPad – (iOS) Google Nexus (Droid) Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Droid) Surface – Windows
- This is either a traditional server or a computer acting like a server. A real server does have redundant systems that allow parts to break and it to keep working. There should be less downtime with a traditional server. Choose over Workstation 64 Bit Operating System 8GB (At Least) 3 Year Warranty Redundant Systems Raid 5 Harder to Setup

- VOIP Phone Call Service Hosted Email
- VOIP stands for Voice Over the Internet Protocol. Instead of plugging your phone into a phone jack, you plug it into the internet. There is no need for a PBX at the office. The advantages are: Portable, you could bring the physical phone anywhere, hook it up to the internet, and it would work. Cheaper then traditional land lines. Web Portals that allow you to forward lines from anywhere to anywhere. Smartphone Apps Soft Phones. 8 x 8: http://bit.ly/1hTapbf

- There are a lot of options for email out there, but the new big ones are Microsoft and Google. If you are really comfortable with Gmail and like it, stick with Google Apps. If you like Outlook and live in a Windows environment, Use Microsoft.
- If you are comfortable with Gmail stick with this. Price $50/User/Year
- If you are an Outlook user, stick with this. Multiple pricing options but a basic email address is $5 a month.

- Most packages are becoming integrated. Timeslips requires you to also have an accounting package like QuickBooks or Peachtree. PCLaw, Tabs 3, and Juris, have billing and Accounting Functions. Legal specific accounting software makes it harder to commit malpractice.
- When choosing legal specific software check to see what it integrates with. If you are using a practice management software, you want to make sure you can export your time entries. You want them to be able to link with Outlook or Gmail. Also, a link to DropBox, Google Drive, NetDocuments is a must.
- NetDocuments and Worldox are is a legal specific software, the rest are made for the general public.
- These are all public cloud practice management software products: Clio: http://goo.gl/mDbZ9 There is a discount on Clio for members of the LSBA
