How Verizon Wireless Can Help
| Your Challenge | How Verizon Wireless Can Help You Meet That Challenge | Example |
| IMPROVE CLIENT RESPONSE TIME | Reply to client emails instantly with secure wireless email synchronization. | Using his BlackBerry® smartphone, Robert sees that a high priority client has a question. Although he is en route to court, he takes a moment to reply to the email in real time. |
| INCREASE EFFICIENCY | Streamline case management, time, and billing processes by providing offsite employees with quick, easy, and secure access to the Internet, corporate intranets, and VPNs. | During a recess, Robert calls the client to follow up on his email. He then logs onto his firm’s document management system via his notebook and BroadbandAccess service and enters the new information once, electronically. |
| ACCESS UP-TO-THE-MINUTE INFORMATION | Send schedule changes to team members regarding critical meetings and hearing dates in real time. Use silent and secure TXT Messaging during negotiations or to communicate in court. Access large files, depositions, and case history information remotely and securely. | When a client changes a scheduled company meeting, the administrative assistant sends out the new meeting time to all the attendees with a single email. Everyone, whether they’re in the office or not, sees the updated meeting time on their BlackBerry smartphones immediately. |
Application Spotlight: METAmessage for Wireless
When combined with Verizon Wireless service, METAmessage Legal is designed to be an integral part of a law firm’s BlackBerry deployment. It takes handhelds beyond email, giving attorneys full access to the enterprise and helping to ensure continuity of operations in the event of an emergency.
METAmessage server software sits behind the firewall on a Windows® server where it connects to existing messaging and corporate information systems. A client application offers a quick and easy user interface on a handheld device, including:
- Time and billing—Maximize revenues by never losing a billable minute. Jumping in a taxi after a client visit, an attorney can immediately update client time with a few clicks on her handheld.
- Disclaimer insertion—Add signatures, disclaimers, or any boilerplate text with one click.
Law case summaries search—Use an easy form to research opinions issued by the U.S. Supreme Court, all 13 Federal Circuit Courts, the California Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, and the New York Court of Appeals.- Document management—Quickly access contracts, briefs, or any file located in document management programs.
- Capability to print anywhere—Use any convenient fax machine or a network printer to get a hard copy of contracts, briefs, and messages.
METAmessage also turns BlackBerry smartphones into emergency communication devices by enabling effective PIN-to-PIN communications and message blasts to different types of devices. And METAmessage allows BlackBerry smartphones to work as emergency document repositories, storing vital documents on the smartphone itself for immediate access regardless of the status of the wireless network.
