Osprey Approach advises firms how to migrate software successfully on lawcast podcast
The essential steps law firms should take before launching new software systems is highlighted by Alex Hiscutt from Osprey Approach, on the latest episode of The LawCast, The Law Factory’s popular podcast series.
Episode five, which is available to listen to now on Spotify and YouTube, is hosted by Alex Simons, head of business development at The Law Factory and features a discussion with Alex Hiscutt, head of implementations at Osprey Approach. With extensive experience of working with SME laws to implement new legal software successfully, Alex H explains how firms can achieve a successful software migration and the importance of setting up the features at an early stage.
This latest episode covers: –
- Essential steps before software migration: Understanding what needs to be done before implementing new software systems.
- How to ensure smooth transitions: Key considerations and strategies to minimise disruption during a migration.
- Common pitfalls law firms face: Identifying and avoiding typical mistakes when introducing new software.
- Maximising software efficiency: Best practices for optimising your legal tech systems post-migration.
The discussion highlights the importance of mapping out a firm’s workflows before migrating to new case management software. This includes understanding how daily tasks, document management, billing, and client communication will operate within the new system.
They also discuss the common pitfalls law firms encounter, including rushing the testing process, which can lead to significant issues down the line.
Alex Simons said: – “If you’re considering a software migration or about to introduce new systems in your firm, our latest episode has several valuable insights that you won’t want to miss.
“One of the key takeaways from this latest episode is the importance of setting up your legal software correctly from the start. Rushing through the software migration process can result in long-term complications, particularly for small-to-medium-sized (SME) law firms looking to implement case management software.”
Alex Hiscutt added: – “All too often, firms rush into new software without fully understanding how it integrates with their existing processes, resulting in frustration, inefficiencies, and unnecessary costs that could have been avoided with a proper setup.
“For SME law firms, where resources and time may be limited, taking the time to plan ahead and ensure a seamless integration between the software and workflows can help to avoid headaches later on.”
