Since NETprotocol's formation there has always been a strong
link with the legal marketplace and this gives us wealth of
knowledge of the specialist requriements usually found in legal
practices and methods by whcih these requirements can be best
serviced.
This knowledge also streches to the technical requirements
of many pieces of specific legal software such as Axxia
Systems' "Case Manager" product, Laserforms
Legal Forms software, Solicitec's
"SolCase"/"Visual Files" products and many
more. NETprotocol has designed and implemented many systems
designed to support these applications in a Thin-Client environment
(Citrix Metaframe). Legal Case Management applications are generally
based around a central database and constantly read & write
to & from this database. For multi-site organisations this
can mean that, if the software were to be implemented in a traditional
client-server style, the bandwidth requirements for the sites
which are remote from the database can be prohibitvley expensive.
Thin-Client technology running these same applications can
dramatically reduce these year-on-year costs for WAN bandwidth,
I.T. Department staff costs and provide organisations with a
financially viable method of running a Case Management system.
To date NETprotocol has delivered these legal applications to
2,500+ users and many of the organisations involved in this
are now wanting to deliver all application to all users using
thin-client solutions, which would take the users count to in
excess of 3,000 users within law firms. For more information
on the benefits of thin-client comuting please click

The critical advantage that NETprotocol holds is not just knowing
how to make the software work in a thin-client environment,
but it is the knowledge of how to make the software perform
at its best. This requires and understanding of the application
and what resources it will draw upon most. This enables us to
examine the bigger picture and deliver performance in all the
key areas to enable to software.
