Legal workgroup automation
Article Abstract:
Tips for purchasing client desktop computers, implementing networked peripheral devices and employing imaging and application programs are presented. Law offices interested in modernizing their automation systems should consider generic Pentium class systems using Intel 166MHz Pentiums, or Cyrix or IBM product equivalents, on Intel system boards. They could also opt to purchase completely configured, off-the-shelf systems from reputable and experienced vendors. Windows 95 is touted as the best OS option for smaller firms using non-custom software and IBM hard drives of between 1.6GB to 2GB are recommended. CD-ROM drives can be attached to networks using sharing hardware or plug-in CD sharing devices. Running an anti-virus application continuously on all file servers can prevent the spread of computer viruses.
