Well-engineered Software as a Service (SaaS) applications such as Rocket Matter supply the computing needs of many companies needs on shared servers, a concept known as multitenancy. With SaaS, a few computers serve the needs of hundreds of law firms.
On an annual basis, the power needed to run a single computer generates one ton of airborne carbon dioxide (CO2). And every 3-5 years, when the typical machine needs to be replaced, a computer generates landfill, containing toxic substances such as mercury, lead, silicon, and non-biodegradable plastic.
So consider the environmental savings when hundreds of firms choose SaaS over dedicated practice management servers, document servers, and backup machines.
Rocket Matter also helps you reduce the amount of paper you generate in your practice. Share your documents online instead of making copies to pass around the office. Ditch pink-message pads in favor our our web-based phone messaging. And instead of printing and mailing invoices, save envelopes, stationary, and stamps by creating PDF versions, which you can email directly to clients.
And you’re not just helping the environment. By reducing paper and electricity consumption, you’re putting more money back in your pocket.
