Holy grail of case management?
Article Abstract:
Hawkeye Software's $895 Firmware for Windows case management software offers a variety of features, but a number of irritating glitches prevent the program from winning unqualified endorsement. Firmware's Appointment Book displays a daily or monthly calendar at a glance, and an Address Book stores names and telephone numbers. Documents from word processing programs can be launched from within Firmware. A Case Book feature offers eight tabbed folders including Client, Summary, Critical Dates. Opposition, Other Parties, Notes and Effort. A Timer function produces billing entries and exports them to billing programs. Information stored in the Address Book transfers easily to the Case Book, and a telephone icon in the Client folder will place a call to the selected person. Firmware's faults include a failure to clarify what specific commands do as well as its confusing scheme that assigns a different calendar for every court location.

Office suite faceoff
Article Abstract:
For use in law offices, Microsoft's Office 97 business application suite stands out in a comparison of the software industry's three leading products, although all three are judged to be excellent packages. The other two are Corel's WordPerfect Suite and Lotus' SmartSuite. In word processing, Corel's WordPerfect and Microsoft's Word are nearly equally matched, but Office 97's PIM and presentation modules are judged to be winners. Microsoft also wins in the categories of database and spreadsheet software. Overall, Microsoft's products are at least as good as those offered by the other companies, and Microsoft's modules work better together.
