Select Legal Breakfast Seminars, Cloud Vs On-Premise – A Unique Decision For Every Law Firm
Hessle, East Yorkshire (PRWEB UK) 8 October 2013
Many Partners are currently considering the merits of cloud computing but at the same time they recognise the need to protect their firm’s investment in existing inhouse infrastructure. This seminar programme, which offers four dates at four locations, is designed to present a balanced view of ‘cloud’ vs ‘on-premise’ for law firms to enable informed IT decision-making.
Delegates attending will hear from a selection of LAWFUSION users – including Cartwright King, Pepperells Solicitors, H & R Hughes and Silver Fitzgerald – re their experiences with the ‘cloud’ vs ‘on-premise’ decision. They will share details re what they have chosen and why. Attendees will also receive a practical checklist of key points all law firms should consider when contemplating a move to the cloud.
Steve Dixon, Co-owner and Development Director at Select Legal said, “Our breakfast seminars are short and to the point starting at 8.30 am until 10.30 am. Registration opens and 7.45 am when breakfast will be served. This seminar is for anyone working for a law firm involved with making strategic IT decisions for the Practice.”
The breakfast seminar dates and locations are:
1. Tuesday 15 Oct – London
2. Wednesday 23 Oct – South Yorkshire
3. Thursday 7 Nov – Leicestershire
4. Tuesday 12 Nov – Hull

SEMINAR HOTLINE: If you wish to speak to someone at Select Legal about the breakfast seminars – there is a dedicated hotline open 9am-5pm weekdays – 01482 628883.
Steve Dixon, Select Legal Director added, “We were one of the first legal software suppliers to offer a cloud option to lawyers back in 2008, but cloud is not right for every firm at this moment. Every situation is unique and there is much to consider. Select Legal has hundreds of happy users in both camps using LAWFUSION to run and grow their businesses and having been in the legal software business for 20 years+ we are well positioned to help law firms make this decision. These seminars are designed to outline the key considerations decision makers at law firms will need to make re the cloud vs on-premise dilemma.”
With LAWFUSION Direct, Select’s cloud based option, for a monthly fee law firms will get a full suite of practice management software as well as all the fully integrated Microsoft Office and Exchange products running from the LAWFUSION cloud. LAWFUSION is of course available as a traditional ‘on-premise’ option too for law firms that wish to host their own software on their own servers inhouse.

New Program Aims to Put ‘Every Community Online? in Texas
New Program Aims to Put ‘Every Community Online’ in Texas
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 24, 2012
Connected Texas, in partnership with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and Intel, announced Tuesday the launch of the Every Community Online (ECO) program. The program offers free computer and Internet training and leaves participants eligible for free computer giveaways as well as discounted home broadband services.
“The Every Community Online program focuses on improving broadband access, adoption, and use across the entire state,” said Connected Texas Executive Director Don Shirley. “One million, four-hundred thousand Texas adults say a lack of digital skills and knowledge of how to use a computer and broadband is the main reason they don’t have broadband at home. The ECO program promises to change that by offering Texans a free way to learn life-changing digital skills through their local library and then be rewarded with discounted broadband services and a chance at a free computer.”
ECO training sessions introduce new users to basic computer functions, how to access the Internet, and how to access and utilize sites on the Internet. The goal of this program is to showcase the many educational, healthcare, economic, and communication benefits of broadband use, and to encourage residents, especially in rural communities, to subscribe to and use broadband Internet service.
“TSLAC is excited to share ECO with Texas librarians who are teaching basic computer and Internet skills to their patrons,” said Peggy D. Rudd, director/librarian of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. “This is an exciting opportunity for librarians to utilize proven curriculum that is located in one, convenient online location. Also, we believe the ECO incentives such as the computer sweepstakes, will encourage more patrons to sign up for classes and get online.”
About 40,000 people are expected to receive ECO training in the first year at more than 350 libraries across the state. Participants will be offered a new user starter kit consisting of a basic computer and basic broadband service (where available) packaged at a discount to encourage immediate adoption and long-term broadband subscription.
Current Connected Texas research shows that computer ownership and Internet adoption rates in Texas correlate directly with educational levels.
45% of Texans with less than a high school diploma own computers and only 22% adopt broadband
Those numbers jump about 30% each for high school graduates, with a 75% computer ownership rate and 50% broadband adoption rate
The biggest gap is among low-income rural Texans.
Only 28% of low-income rural Texans subscribe to broadband and only 47% have a computer at home
“Intel Corporation recognizes that a strong foundation in computer and Internet skills is necessary for personal and professional success in the twenty-first century,” said Intel K-12 Education Manager Paige Johnson. “That’s exactly why Intel is directly involved in education programs – like Every Community Online – that enable the next generation of workers to be positive contributors to the economy.”
New computer sweepstakes winners will be selected from participants in the ECO program who are new adopters to computing and broadband.
