OnShore Software - Expertise

OnShore Software puts more than 35 years of software development experience specifically for law firms at your disposal. You can leverage that expertise to keep the cost of developing software that meets your specific requirements within your budgetary constraints. While software development isn’t cheap, we are often able to provide solutions that use technologies you already have in place, or use components that we have already developed as a part of the solution, thus reducing the overall cost of that development. Consider how you might use this expertise in these areas of law office technology.

Document Management Systems

Your DMS application is often the lifeblood of our firm. We have spent years developing solutions that take the basic functionality of your DMS and integrate it into your day-to-day operations. For example, you may have a need to move documents into your DMS, from a source that isn’t currently automated. We can solve this problem, putting those years of experience to work for you. We have intimate, practical knowledge of iManage, Hummingbird, and Worldox, especially in the use of the APIs that provide developers the ability to integrate solutions into the DMS.

Messaging Systems

Whether it's your electronic mail system, or other messaging systems, such as fax and secure document delivery, we can extend their capabilities using the extensibility provided by the vendors of these products. Specifically, we have developed extensive solutions for Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Groupwise, and other MAPI or SMTP-compliant email systems. In addition, we can provide custom solutions for Omtool, RightFax, and other key industry players.

Document Formatting and Conversions

One of the most common problems law firms deal with is the conversion of documents from one format to another. Whether it’s paper documents that you need store electronically, word processing files that someone needs in a format that can’t be edited, or image files that should be converted to a text format, we can provide software conversion solutions. We work with the vendors that have their own expertise in a particular format and build integrated solutions to automate these conversions.

Office Applications

Integration and extension of Microsoft and Corel office applications is a common and useful way to solve business problems in the law firm. Whether it’s a macro you already have in place, but you no longer have the ability to modify, or you’ve come up with a new requirement that you want to get implemented quickly we’ve built simple macros of just a few lines, to scripts that are thousands of lines long.

Cost Recovery

OnShore Software recognizes your need to recover incurred costs as a fundamental element in providing the most cost-effective service to your clients. We can help you recover costs for existing technologies used in your firm. And when we provide a new technology or solution to you, we can also provide a solution for recovering those costs if needed.
