Brett Burney was kind enough to mention Clio in his excellent Tips and Tricks at the ABA Techshow 2008 article. As Brett puts it, “One concept that buzzed among several attendees was “online practice management.” This statement certainly echoes our experience at the Techshow.

The ABA TECHSHOW was a great success – thanks to everyone who visited our booth to find out more about Clio.
The response we received at the TECHSHOW was even more positive than we hoped it would be. It seems clear that the desire for web-based practice management software is present and fast-growing, as attendee after attendee told us that existing desktop-based products are too complex, too hard to use, and too hard to deploy. The idea of a completely web-based solution where deployment, upgrades, and data security backups are 100% managed definitely resonated with attendees we spoke with.
We were especially impressed with the reception we received for Clio from sole practitioners and small firms who seemed to agree that a web-based solution would help to overcome the technical hurdles, time and money associated with deploying desktop software. The Clio subscription-based Software-as-a-Service model presents these users with an affordable, easy-to-deploy and secure method of getting a practice management solution up and running.

We’re proud to announce Clio will be launching at the ABA TECHSHOW 2008, the world’s premier legal technology expo. We’ll be concluding our private private beta and opening Clio up to a public beta at the TECHSHOW. Hope to see you there!

Today we’re happy to take the wraps off of Clio – something that we’ve had in development for over a year – and make the software available to a much wider beta audience. In doing so, we hope to harvest the input and feedback of real users over the coming weeks to help smooth the remaining rough-edges, and ensure that Clio is best adapted to the needs of lawyers ready to take the Web 2.0 plunge.
Clio is a web-based practice management tool that makes your files, clients, documents, time entries, and bills available to you wherever you have an internet connection.
The era of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has arrived, as evidenced by services such as Salesforce.com and Google Docs, and lawyers are one of the audiences that stand most to gain from the transition from desktop-based software to web-based software. No more painful software deployments, configurations, upgrades and backups. Clio takes care of all of this for you in a secured, continually backed up service.
We’ll be revealing more about Clio over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
