RainMaker Announces Release of Microsoft® Outlook Time
Entry Add-In
Microsoft Office Business Application Gives Users Full Time-Entry
Functionality, without Leaving Outlook
RainMaker Software, a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner and full-service provider of Financial and Practice Management, and Business Intelligence Software for law firms, announced the Microsoft Outlook Time Entry add-in module. This newly-added module, which benefits Outlook 2003 and 2007 users, enhances the existing Time Entry features in the company’s Platinum 8.0 financial and practice management system, and extends the functionality of the Zoom .NET module for easily accessing and monitoring key business metrics.
RainMaker’s Microsoft Outlook Time Entry add-in, a Microsoft Office Business Application (OBA), uniquely combines the timekeeper-preferred Outlook interface, with the familiar Platinum financial management system productivity tools. Now, end-users can productively conduct most business tasks in one place, such as pulling up recent matters and timers, thereby maximizing existing IT investments and improving user efficiency.
RainMaker’s Microsoft Office Time Entry add-in features an automated install program, which enhances the existing Microsoft Outlook toolbar with Platinum-specific features. In addition to the module’s Office Business Application benefits, RainMaker customers will benefit in other ways, including:
| Improved Productivity and Increased Profitability - Attorneys and staff can enter time from within Microsoft Outlook 2003/2007, reducing slippage and increasing efficiency. | |
| Immediate Access to Decision-Making Information - Users can launch Zoom .NET and easily access client, matter, timekeeper and invoice information, for improved client communications. | |
| Absolute Firm-Wide Security - "Single sign-on" technology, incorporating Windows authentication, allows users to completely bypass login screens and immediately access the information they need within a highly secured environment. |
"In order for firms to stay viable in an increasingly competitive environment, it is necessary to work towards streamlining all processes and technologies," said RainMaker President, Jim Hammond. "We understand that attorneys prefer to live in their in-boxes. RainMaker’s Microsoft Outlook Time Entry add-in is a cutting-edge addition to the Platinum family of products that will make it easier for attorneys to capture more time and, ultimately, improve cash flow."
