If you use a BlackBerry® device you’re not alone. But did you know there's more you can do than simply check your email and calendar on-the-go?
With a BlackBerry bundle for legal that includes METAmessage® - Legal, firms of all sizes are taking advantage of powerful legal-specific functionality to save time, benefit clients and maximize billing.
What exactly can it do for you? Here are our picks of the top five functions.
- Easily track billings
- Access documents out of the office
- Search the Web
- Do research virtually anywhere
- Better handle legal documents
With a few clicks of your BlackBerry device, you can track client time during meetings and phone calls, and update office-based billing systems on the fly. This helps maximize revenues by capturing every billable minute.
Jump into a taxi after a client visit and immediately access case matters from CRM and document management applications. Stuck at lunch? Quickly access contracts, briefs, profiles or files before the entrée arrives.
Got questions? Use easy forms to access information online from your BlackBerry device without opening a browser.
That’s great if you need driving directions, up-to-the-minute flight arrival and departure information, stock quotes, weather forecasts — even sports scores.
Whether you’re in a client meeting or courtroom proceeding, discretely look up court decisions via FindLaw ® on your BlackBerry device using a quick and easy form.
