Calendar Manager from Thomson Elite Provides Powerful Web-Based Calendaring and Docketing for Law Firms
LOS ANGELES, August 22, 2006 – Thomson Elite, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) and a worldwide provider of business software to professional services firms, now offers Calendar Manager, a sophisticated, easily customizable calendar and docket solution for the complex needs of law and other professional services firms.
As part of a full Elite practice management suite, Calendar Manager will be bundled with Thomson Elite’s Enterprise Case Manager. Calendar Manager is well suited for firms that manage large and complex cases, such as mass torts and class action suits. It can hold tens of thousands of calendar events and case-related data. Individuals and teams can see at a glance what their schedule is today, next week or next month, which reduces the potential for missing important deadlines. This intuitive, Web-based software application is easy to configure and use, making it easy for law firms to implement.
Several features set Calendar Manager apart from other solutions currently on the market. Built on Windows .NET technology, the software contains a design mode to make customization easy. Calendar Manager also supports multiple languages to meet the needs of international firms. The sophisticated platform synchronizes items in real time, so events created in the Elite system are instantly accessible in Calendar Manager. From the Team view within Calendar Manager, management-level users can view timekeepers’ calendars and time entries, as well as assign tasks and events.
The optional Outlook Connector module automatically adds new activities and events into Microsoft Office Outlook when they’re created in Calendar Manager. This module also enables synchronization with smart phones and other wireless devices. For rules-based calendaring, Calendar Manager features built-in integration with automated court rules.
Felhaber, Larson, Fenlon & Vogt, a full-service law firm in Minnesota, implemented Calendar Manager prior to the official launch. “Our firm needed an easy-to-use docketing system with advanced features like viewing history and editing, completing, continuing and tracking events,” commented Kris Borowske, payroll manager at the firm. “Now secretaries and other staff manage their own cases, which takes a huge load off the shoulders of the accounting department.”
