Before Uptime Practice

As their needs grew, and technology evolved, Denise Horan evaluated available options, including building a custom solution, and ultimately selected Time Matters for its customization options. However, their servers needed to be replaced — a costly, temporary solution.

The Solution

Ms. Horan led the research into choosing a private cloud service provider. She had narrowed her search when a visit to the Time Matters website revealed that Uptime Legal was in fact a Lexis Nexis partner. “My conversations with Dennis Dimka, Uptime CEO, convinced me that we had found the right product in Uptime Practice,” Ms. Horan said.

What did you use prior to Uptime Practice?

“We implemented Time Matters and PCLaw on servers for our firm. It worked for the time, but as our servers aged and became a dated solution, we looked for cloud solutions.”

Ultimately, what made you choose Uptime Practice?

“A key factor in choosing our cloud service provider was the combination of IT expertise, specific knowledge of law firm operations, and client confidentiality. Of the companies we considered, only Uptime Legal had a “Cloud-First, Legal First” approach to providing the service and support the firm required. My conversations with Dennis Dimka, Uptime CEO, convinced me that we had found the right product in Uptime Practice.”
