A common criticism of Time Matters is that it is such a comprehensive and robust product that it takes too much time and money to customize for a firm’s specific use. OTB has learned over the past two decades of working with law firms that all litigation law firms operate differently, even though they often don’t think they do. These differences relate to jurisdictional differences, sub-practice area differences, case volume differences, and most often and simply personal differences in how a law practice should be run.
While it is fair to conclude from these differences that no one solution will fit all litigation law firms, OTB has also learned that it is possible to customize Time Matters with core functionality that will fit the practice of almost all litigation firms. And, that is exactly what OTB’s Litigation Practice Area Template does … provide firms with 60%-80% of the customization they need, delivered at an unbeatable price, leaving them with a budget to complete the remaining customization that might be needed. At $125 per seat (in addition to installation charges, which vary depending on whether you’ve been using Time Matters and already have a lot of customization that we have to work around), you will have the benefit of the experience and expertise of Time Matters’ top consultants, packaged into a user-friendly and efficient Template that will save you thousands of dollars compared to starting from scratch…and, even if you paid thousands, you wouldn’t get anywhere near this level of detail.
For example, a 10-person firm new to Time Matters can purchase and have installed the Litigation Practice Template for around $3,000. An attempt to have Time Matters customized from scratch to provide similar functionality would easily cost high five figures, probably more. And, it isn’t likely you would come close to the functionality that is available with our Practice Area Templates for a fraction of the cost.
