Managed Service Provider (MSP) and A.I.T. Exclusively for Law Firms

Time calendar/summary screen in SLASH portal software.

Problem: law firms do not know where to turn for Information Technology or other infrastructure that is critical to delivering legal services, and when they do, it's to a cookie cutter one-size-fits-all product.
Solution: A MSP with turnkey solutions plus a monthly service agreement and expert handling of I.T. projects.

SLASH is a new MSP providing:

  • Turnkey on-premise and/or data center-based hardware and software solutions for web, file, portal, email, calendar, and chat/XMPP servers.
  • The SLASH suite of cross-platform law firm portal software, including business management, time entry and billing, task and project management, inline document generation, two-way file transfers, email, calendar, files, real-time chat, audit logging, and version control.
  • Expert maintenance, support, and new feature builds.
  • General I.T. consulting.

SLASH was founded by a lawyer, Andrew Watters, who was fed up with the lack of I.T. options on the market for small to medium-sized law firms. Business partner Jeremy Bischoff is a software engineer out of Stanford with an A.I. focus.
