Blackberry Just Keeps Getting Better

The users will quickly discover how handy it is, how much time it saves, and how much easier it is to keep track of client details. Blackberry device software combined with the BlackBerry device is a great example of wireless done right.

"Utilizing MobileTimeBilling, Paul, Hastings has improved their day-to-day business administration," said Betsy Reagan, President of Wireless Verticals. "The adoption of our software can help eliminate the month-end chaos of trying to remember and recreate billing activities, as well as finalizing billing."

Using blackberry device software in conjunction with the Carpe Diem(TM) time entry system, the firm's attorneys export their time from the BlackBerry devices. The data is wirelessly transmitted via email to the individual's PC for review and/or editing. The attorney's secretary can verify and edit the data before it enters into the billing system. Once in the billing system, the accounting staff treats these entries like all other entries. No procedures change.

The result is a more accurate capture of generated revenue and an increase in attorney and staff productivity. Capturing and entering billing data as it occurs - billing data that may have been previously omitted or inaccurate - has been a big success with the attorneys piloting the program at Paul Hastings. The estimated value of the captured billable activities should offset the cost of the hardware and software acquisition in the first three months of use.

"Because the client and matter information for each specific attorney is downloaded to their personal BlackBerry wireless handheld," Reagan continued, "The individual has very little 'keying' or data input. Using the roller on the BlackBerry, he/she selects from pick lists, and can type in short descriptions using the keyboard."

RIM) announced the introduction of BlackBerry(TM) Enterprise Server - a key component of the BlackBerry wireless email solution. BlackBerry is an industry-leading solution that features a powerful wireless handheld with integrated email/organizer software, single mailbox integration with Microsoft(R) Exchange, end-to-end security, desktop synchronization, flat-rate pricing, and nationwide wireless coverage.
