Company marks milestone and expands services to include custom import work and tailored training options

BOCA RATON, FL – February 2, 2010 – Rocket Matter®, the leading Web-based legal practice management and time and billing solution for small to mid-sized law firms, today announced the two-year anniversary since their public launch. As part of the company’s continued growth and vision to provide excellent customer service, they now offer Rocket Matter Professional Services to minimize downtime as law firms migrate from their old software to the company’s newer Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.

“For the past two years we’ve sought to make the transition to Rocket Matter easy for law firms,” stated Larry Port, Founding Partner and Chief Software Architect for Rocket Matter. “We know that moving from one application to another can be disruptive and time consuming, and we have rolled out a lot of free training and data import functionality. But we realize that firms, especially larger ones, have more specialized requirements that benefit from customized, dedicated attention.”

Rocket Matter Professional Services will now be offered in addition to many already existing free options for data import and training. When starting to use Rocket Matter, new clients have the ability to import their Outlook calendar and contacts, vCard files and Internet calendar records. They are also able to pull data in from Gmail, Google Calendar, Mac Address Book, and many other standards-compliant programs.

As part of Rocket Matter Professional Services, Product Specialists are available to help manage more involved imports from programs such as Time Matters, Amicus Attorney, PC Law, Tabs3, and others as well as set up specialized, custom-training programs to help firms make a smooth and quick transition.

* If you can export your contacts, matter, and calendar information in a CSV, then we can import it into Rocket Matter.  This is the case with Amicus, Time Matters, and other market leading software.

* We attempt to match the fields from your old program into our fields as best we can.  When they don’t match exactly, we preserve your data for reference in a “notes” field for the contact, matter, or calendar event.

* If you’re bringing in Contact data and have the capability, providing vCards is a very accurate way of moving your data from one system to another.

* If you’re bringing in Calendar data and have the capability, supply us with an Internet Calendar (iCalendar or ics file) for the best migration.

* We recommend only bringing over active data.  Keep old matters in your legacy system for reference, but don’t pollute your new system with old information if you can help it.  For active matters, it’s best to bring in just the balance for the matter and start from there.

* You will have to take a look at your exported data and see if it’s any good. CSV files work by having the field label in the first row, like “Home Phone”, and the data in the rows underneath.  We often see bad exports, for example “Mr.” will appear under “First Name”, not “Salutation”.  Also, contacts may only have email addresses listed.

* Before you send your export files over, take a look and make sure it’s what you’d like to bring into your new Rocket Matter system.

The package contained my new Scansnap 300M and some blank DVDs. Keeping them all in place were not peanuts, bubble wrap, or air pockets, but an enormously long coiled sheet of recycled paper.

I was happy since there was nothing to clean up. The kids were happy that we received a 20 foot paper snake in the mail. And then this morning, I received an email from Newegg. They wanted my opinions on the giant paper packing snake:

We have started testing an environmentally responsible, renewable, reusable and recyclable paper packaging material from Ranpak Corp. called FILLPAK TT®. As part of our commitment to our customers, we would like to offer you the opportunity to help us evaluate this new material by completing the questions and comments below.

Wow. Not only is Newegg moving in an environmentally responsible direction, they want to know what I think about it. Add that to their quick service and low prices, and it adds up to a company that clearly cares. And that’s what keeps us coming back.
