RainMaker Software Celebrates 40th Anniversary
40 Years of Time and Billing Technology Innovations
RainMaker Software, a full-service provider of Financial and Practice Management, Business Intelligence Software and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Integration for law firms, celebrates its 40th anniversary. For more than 40 years, RainMaker has provided the legal community with world-class software, excellent customer service and stability while maintaining one of the highest client retention rates in the industry.
Still supporting its very first client from 40 years ago, High Swartz LLP in Norristown, PA., RainMaker has experienced substantial growth since starting as Compute-R-System (CRS) in 1969. CRS was the first industry vendor to provide both in-house and service bureau Time and Billing applications. The company became Quorum Systems in 1985 and in 1991 became ASA Legal Systems. In 1993, the company bought Precedent Technologies and the Pyramid product. In 2002, ASA Legal Systems acquired CompuTrac and changed its name to the current RainMaker Software and in 2005 acquired Computer Law Systems (CLS) and its SUMMIT client base.
