In 2015, smart phones are helping us work on the move. Since we are spending less time in the office, we are always in search of new applications to make our lives easier and work flow more efficient.
In a recent blog, Attorney Brian Focht of The Cyber Advocate shares some of the best new apps for lawyers released in July.
Here are a few of his top picks:
- Multi-Platform App: Convo
“Designed for teams that need to collaborate on various types of documents and share information securely, Convo’s systems are perfect for legal teams. Create a conversation around documents, presentations, images, from wherever you are using the new messaging features. Urgent messages and rescheduled meetings or hearings are updated wherever you are… even when you’re stuck in traffic.”
- iOS App: Send
“Have you ever wished that email was a little more like text messaging? Well, whether you have or not (and if you’ve ever dealt with trying to collect corporate emails from people, you probably are among the latter), Microsoft has decided this app is necessary. Essentially, this app is designed to make sending that quick email to someone in your address book much easier than opening up your email app, and… you get it. Basically, like text messaging for people whose phone number you don’t know.”
- Android App: Dynamics CRM
“Dynamics CRM allows you to make sure you arrive prepared for every appointment, and allows you to update your contacts, notes, tasks, calendar, and cases as soon as the meeting’s done. With full support for customization of the Contextual Business Process, you’re always able to track important data about your tasks, your clients, and your cases.”
- Windows Phone App: Feedlab
“Group your RSS feeds into categories, use gesture-recognition to simplify daily use, and even pin your favorite categories to your home screen.”
