What kinds of custom software can Bosseo discuss with a law firm?+
Bosseo’s public Custom Software page gives examples such as client status portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, referral tracking, document intake flows, calculators and connections between systems. Your consultation should determine whether your particular problem is suitable for a custom build.
Do we need a requirements document before speaking with Bosseo?+
Bosseo says a firm can begin by describing the annoyance or bottleneck in plain English. You can still prepare a process outline, list of systems, user roles and acceptance tests so the discussion is specific.
Will a custom tool connect to our existing systems?+
Bosseo describes custom tools as able to connect with a firm’s website, intake and dashboard, and gives examples involving other firm systems. A connection for your firm should be reviewed for availability, data flow, permissions, error handling and scope before it is treated as included.
Who hosts and maintains the software?+
Bosseo’s public page says its custom software is hosted on dedicated servers and maintained by its team. Ask for the terms that apply to your proposed build, including backups, recovery, availability expectations, security practices and support procedures.
How should we decide whether custom software is better than an existing product?+
Compare the recurring problem with available products. Custom software is worth evaluating when the workflow fit, required data behavior or connections are not adequately addressed by an appropriate existing option. If a suitable product solves the problem without costly workarounds, custom development may not be necessary.
How will we know the build works for our staff?+
Define acceptance criteria before approval. Test required fields, user permissions, assignments, duplicate handling, integrations, reports and exception paths with the people who will use the tool. Onboarding and later adjustments should also be discussed as part of the scope.
