Project Management for Lawyers
I wrote a guest post about Google Notebook replacements and project management systems that went up today over at the Small Business Idea Generator Blog. If you are looking for a great project management system, I recommend you check the post out – it’s full of details about several leading systems.
If you are a lawyer looking for a project management system, or like me you offer services to lawyers, just make sure you take into consideration security. Not all systems include ssl encryption, particularly free versions or the lowest paid plans. Currently I’m using Zoho Projects for my virtual legal assistant business, but also love the TeamWork project management application. The reason I’m not using TeamWork for my client work is that they don’t offer ssl encryption on their less expensive plans (only at the $49/month level) and I don’t need the project space offered in the more expensive plan.
Project management applications like TeamWork and Zoho (also Basecamp if you are familiar!) are fabulous tools when you work virtually with your clients. It allows the service provider and client to share documents, make comments, set deadlines, etc all within a secure environment. Email is often not an ideal choice for document sharing, due to both security issues and size limitations on attachments.
Have a great day!

Saw your guest post and liked it a lot. Personally I like Basecamp Project Management (just wrote a review via the link actually). I have used Zoho, and I don’t mind it, but I like basecamp better (plus it’s integration with some of the other Apps we use). I do love Zoho’s CRM though! I actually like it better than highrise.
