RainMaker Software Announces Green Legal Billing Service
with Client Super Sites
This new service will revolutionize how law firms do billing
RainMaker Software, Inc. announces its plans to offer a break-through in legal billing, Green Legal Billing. Law firms spend a considerable amount of time and cost each month printing thousands of pages of paper bills that get sent to clients, who in turn image the bills into their own paperless systems for processing. In many cases these same bills end up being shredded because of security and confidentiality issues, only adding to the carbon footprint for both parties.
Green Legal Billing eliminates all the paper by providing clients with an email notification indicating that their bill is available for download in a digital format from the greenlegalbills.com web site. The Client Super Site, a highly-secured hosted portal, allows clients to not only access all current and past bill images, but also review billing and payment history, account balances, trust and retainer balances and payment inquiries. Law firms subscribing to this service will foster collaboration between attorneys and clients since both parties can jointly access the site to review services performed by the firm.
Law firms can now take advantage of the technology that is now commonly employed by credit card companies, banks and brokerage houses with the electronic delivery of bills and on-line account access. In today’s challenging economic climate, law firms are searching for ways to reduce expenses, increase cash flow, and improve client satisfaction. Firms will eliminate the tedious process of printing bills, labeling envelopes, stuffing and mailing final bills. Cost savings include reduced paper, envelopes, postage, printer supplies and staff time.
This new hosted service and dedicated portal is fully integrated with RainMaker’s award winning Platinum product. Since Green Legal Billing emails are automatically generated by the Platinum system, clients receive their billings 5 to 7 days before they would normally receive a paper version. The new service will also eliminate the amount of bill re-printing firms do during the collections process.
“Our investments in Microsoft .NET technology have allowed us to develop one of the most sweeping changes in law firm billing since the advent of electronic billing in the early 1990’s, " states Jim Hammond, President of RainMaker Software. “None of us want to deal with paper anymore, therefore firms and clients will embrace our new e-commerce method of billing. The delivery of bills will go from a dreaded process to a collaborated effort. Clients will finally be able to access their financial information online, breaking the barriers that have existed all these years."
