What kinds of custom software can Bosseo discuss with a law firm?+
Bosseo’s public Custom Software page describes client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, speed-to-lead tools and referral fee trackers, among other workflow-focused possibilities. The consultation should determine whether your particular bottleneck is suitable and what the project would require.
Do I need to prepare a technical requirements document?+
Bosseo says a firm can describe its bottleneck in plain English and that the team asks the questions needed to scope the work. You can prepare a workflow description, but the consultation should still establish the data, users, permissions, integrations and acceptance criteria for your specific project.
Can custom software connect with the systems my firm already uses?+
Bosseo states that its custom tools can connect with a firm’s website, intake and dashboard and describes integrations with CRM, case-management and marketing systems. Compatibility with your specific systems is not established by that general statement, so ask for a project-specific integration review.
Who hosts and maintains the tool?+
Bosseo’s public page says it hosts and maintains the custom tools it builds and describes dedicated-server hosting, monitoring and backups. Ask the consultation to clarify the responsibilities, recovery procedures, update process and any service levels relevant to your firm.
How should our firm decide whether custom software is justified?+
Compare the recurring problem with the cost and complexity of building and maintaining a tool. Custom software is worth closer review when the workflow is specific, repeated, clearly defined and poorly served by available tools. If an existing product fits the requirement, buying it may be the better choice.
What should we measure after implementation?+
Choose measures tied to the original bottleneck, such as completion of required handoffs, record accuracy, time spent on a defined task or staff adoption. Establish the definitions and baseline with your firm. Do not assume that software alone proves more leads, cases, rankings or revenue.
