Opportunities
October 4, 2006
RainMaker Software, a leading full-service
provider of Financial Management, Practice Management, Business Intelligence and
Case/Matter Management Software for mid-to-large sized law firms, corporate legal
departments and government agencies recently hosted their 28th Annual Client Conference &
User Group Meeting entitled “New Horizons – Endless Possibilities” at the Hotel Del Coronado
on Coronado Island, California.
The 2006 Client Conference officially commenced on Sunday afternoon with an informative
presentation by president Jim Hammond. Attendees left the kick-off session with a new
understanding of RainMaker’s technological future that will positively impact the way they do
business. The kick-off session set the tone and gave the event even more momentum as people
realized the “endless possibilities” available with new RainMaker technology. New horizons were
explored as RainMaker Vice President of Product Development Lak Ayyar and Quality
Assurance Analyst Alecia Lingenfelter showed prototypes of soon to be released Platinum
version 8.0 as well as an entire session dedicated to showing the new billing and accounts
receivable features. The conference also offered an opportunity for clients to network, share
success stories and impart their thoughts during the User Group Board Meeting on Monday.
As a twenty year RainMaker client and conference attendee, Ed Pierce, controller for Richards,
Layton & Finger, P.A. and RainMaker User Group president, stated “Each year I look forward to
the open exchange of ideas, best practices and, most of all, the invaluable networking opportunity
the conference offers. This is something you can’t get over the Internet.”
In addition to the informative sessions, RainMaker welcomed keynote speaker, Marsha Petrie
Sue, MBA to the General Session on Monday morning. Marsha’s speech, “The Flexibility
Factor” was most inspiring, enhancing the overall conference experience. Attendees also
participated in many networking events as they attended a User Group sponsored cocktail
reception on Sunday evening, an evening aboard the AMERICA-USA 1 yacht and a beach party
on Tuesday evening.
“Our firm, Wolff & Samson P.C. recently purchased RainMaker Platinum, so this was my first
RainMaker Client Conference,” said administrator Barbara Mooney. “Attending the conference
re-confirmed to me that RainMaker was an excellent choice for our firm. I was able to glean
knowledge not only from the RainMaker employees at the conference and post-conference
training, but also from meeting other users who discussed how they use and benefit from the
system.”
The RainMaker Client Conference & User Group Meeting is a unique opportunity for clients to
meet and network with other users of RainMaker systems. In addition to the educational sessions,
there are many topics specifically designed to convey the latest in law firm business practices.
The conference is designed to address questions and issues at many levels within the firm, from
billing and accounting to firm management. In addition, the RainMaker Client Conference
provides a venue for users to establish face-to-face contact with members of the RainMaker team,
including those in development, support, implementation and management.
“I have been attending the conference for 21 years,” said data processing manager for Robinson & Cole LLP, Nancy Cummings. “I find that each year offers a unique experience. This year, for
instance, I sat in an “Overview of Version 8.0” session conducted by RainMaker’s vice president
of product development. To hear about Platinum version 8.0 first-hand was invaluable. Seeing all
of the new and improved features makes me anticipate the release even more! The networking
with my peers is invaluable; one can learn so much from other users and vice versa. This aspect,
along with the value the conference offers, keeps me coming back each year.”
