As a leading supplier of information technology systems and services to the legal profession for over twenty years Miles 33 created the Smart alternative to specifically address the problems facing the smaller and medium size firm.

Before Smart, there was no alternative where, the traditional approach to implementing IT was no longer appropriate. The full burden of a traditional approach to purchasing a new system requires firms to make decisions on choices of rapidly changing technologies and commit to substantial capital costs. In addition, firms then have to provide the means to run and support these complex new technologies themselves.

The cost of purchasing, maintaining and running these systems has become disproportionate to the benefits derived by the smaller and medium size firm.

Smart revolutionises the way in which information technology essential in today's law firms is procured, offering all of the benefits of a modern practice management system without the underlying burden of ownership.

A comprehensive and unique service, Smart provides you with a sophisticated practice management system without the normal costs and headaches.

The Smart service has been designed to remove from a user the burden of implementing and managing a modern practice management system. The general principle adopted throughout is of simplifying the whole process wherever possible.

As a result, the Smart system is delivered to a customer with all necessary equipment, software and communications ready for connection to a firm's existing personal computers.

The system is delivered with a set of default parameters and standard codes such as work types, disbursement types, source of introduction and address types etc. are pre-set. To add to or amend the codes and parameters is a simple and quick task.

For those firms not wishing to add to or amend the initial set up Smart is delivered ready to go!

Real time reports can be requested for matter and time ledgers, billing guides, client matter labels and bank reconciliation reports. Other routine reports are scheduled to run automatically. Facilities to automatically print cheques directly from the system are also available. All functions concerned with the day to day management of the system will be performed by Miles 33 including the carrying out of daily on and off site security back ups.

Firms are thus left with only the responsibility for control over their accounting functions and input of their data and can thus utilise the features of the latest in practice management systems to help manage their business better without the need to concern themselves with the technology.

Implementing the Smart alternative will allow firms to make better use of their resources.
