What kinds of tools does Bosseo describe for law firms?+
Bosseo describes client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, speed-to-lead tools, referral tracking, document collection tools and integrations between existing systems. Whether any particular tool is appropriate depends on your workflow and the systems you use.
Do I need a technical requirements document before speaking with Bosseo?+
Bosseo’s public page says you can describe the bottleneck in plain English and that its team will ask questions. You should still bring examples of the current process, the records involved, the users, the systems and the result you need to evaluate.
Can custom software connect to my existing legal systems?+
Bosseo describes connected tools and lists website, intake, dashboard, CRM, case-management and marketing connections in its public page text. Confirm your actual vendors, configuration, data requirements and failure handling before treating an integration as part of scope.
Who decides which staff members can access the tool?+
That should be decided with your firm during scoping. Prepare a role list and specify who may view, create, edit, export or delete each type of record. Ask how access will be changed when responsibilities change.
What should we ask about hosting, backups and recovery?+
Ask where the tool will run, what is backed up, how restoration would be handled, who monitors the service, and what happens if a record or connection fails. Bosseo describes hosted and maintained tools, but your consultation should establish the terms for the proposed build.
How do we know whether custom software is worth pursuing?+
Compare the recurring cost and risk of the current process with suitable off-the-shelf products and a possible scoped build. Look for a clearly defined bottleneck, measurable acceptance criteria and a responsible owner. Do not use Wappingers Falls population as a proxy for software demand or return.
