Tabs3 Cloud Help With Document Management
A cloud solution can be used for many reasons including, reducing the costs of in-house servers and IT support, access from anywhere and increased security. tabs3 cloud has developed new features and partnered with industry leaders to provide a range of cloud options for every firm. A Private Cloud is a cloud-based computing environment that allows users to log into a Virtual Desktop that mirrors the local software and applications they use at work, but they can work from any device and location with a web browser.
A private cloud offers the benefits of a cloud solution without the cost of in-house IT support. The most significant cost savings come from a reduction in the need to purchase and maintain servers as well as ancillary IT infrastructure like backup systems and power generators. A Private Cloud can also eliminate the need for an IT consultant to proactively manage your server, and it can reduce your hardware and IT capital expense as you outsource your IT needs.
When selecting a cloud host, make sure that they have experience supporting law firms with compliance, data security and performance you can count on. Most importantly, the right host will prioritize training and ongoing support to help ensure your staff will be successful in their transition to a cloud environment.
A good host will also allow you to choose the level of support that best suits your firm’s needs. For example, a small solo practice may not need an extensive support program but would benefit from access to online training videos and self-service documentation. A larger firm might require a more comprehensive support program including dedicated phone and email support, or a hybrid of in-person and remote support options to meet the different schedules of their staff.
Can Tabs3 Cloud Help With Document Management and Organization?
Another key consideration is how your firm will integrate its cloud services with other applications and hardware in the office. For instance, a large firm might need to integrate its cloud accounting software with a third-party cost recovery system or with an in-house IT system that controls other hardware such as copiers and fax machines. A good host will be familiar with these integrations and can assist your firm in connecting to the hardware you already have in place.
The key to a successful transition to the Cloud is a strong partnership between you and your chosen host. Make sure that you select a host with a dedicated project manager (at Uptime Practice, we call this person the Onboarding Manager) to help plan and execute the process. The Onboarding Manager should be available to answer questions, review timelines and expectations, and help ensure that your migration to the Cloud goes smoothly.
