What kinds of custom software does Bosseo describe for law firms?+
Bosseo describes client portals, intake tools, internal dashboards, speed-to-lead tools, referral trackers, document intake flows, calculators and integrations between existing systems. Whether a particular build is appropriate for your firm requires a scope review.
Do we 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 and turn the problem into a scoped build. You should still bring the workflow, users, records, systems and exceptions you want reviewed.
Can Bosseo connect a tool to our current CRM or case-management system?+
The public page says its custom tools are intended to connect with a firm’s website, intake, dashboard, CRM, case management and marketing stack. It does not confirm support for your specific systems or configuration, so request an integration review before treating a connection as included.
Who hosts and maintains the software?+
Bosseo’s public page says it hosts tools on dedicated servers and provides monitoring, backups, updates, fixes and improvements as part of its described maintenance relationship. Ask what operational terms apply to your proposed build, including restoration responsibilities and access to your data.
How should we evaluate permissions for a client portal or intake tool?+
List each user role and specify what that role may view, add, change, export or delete. Review internal and client-facing information separately, and include access changes when a person’s responsibilities change. Do not approve permissions from a generic template.
How do we know whether custom software is better than an existing product?+
Compare the actual workflow with the available product. Custom software may be worth reviewing when a firm is repeatedly working around an almost-fitting tool, maintaining manual transfers or combining systems. If an existing product meets the requirement without unacceptable workarounds, custom software may not be necessary.
