SOS hosted service targets smaller firms

Solicitors Own Software (SOS) has launched a new service– called Virtual Practices – that aims to give smaller law firms (defined as 1-to-4 partners and up to 20 users) one of the most technically and commercially attractive hosted solutions we have seen to-date. The entry level offering is an accounts bureau, with SOS providing ‘virtual legal cashiers’ for £450 a month, which includes 200 postings and unlimited web access to 12 financial reports.

Although comparable services are already available, users of Virtual Practices also get access to the full functionality of the new SOS Connect .NET-based Connect practice management system. Additional management reports are available but, rather more importantly, for £0.45p per document created (and stored and backed up on a secure remote server by SOS) users can also take advantage of Connect’s document and matter management facilities, effectively giving all the functionality of case management.

All users need is a 2Mb broadband connection, a modern PC, a scanner and be astute enough to see that £450 is cheaper than hiring a bookkeeper, as well as a small price to pay for freeing themselves from non-billable administrative chores.
