ConductR is a cloud-based software tool designed with attorneys in mind. They tested and consulted with dozens of firms before releasing the product, according to the company website.
Essentially, conductR is marketing itself as a litigation support management tool. The difference is that unlike more traditional on-site software and hardware, if you use conductR your information will be stored off-site, and the software is based on the software-as-a-service (or SaaS) model.
At first brush, conductR seems to do everything you’d want it to do if you’re managing litigation. You can generate reports, track data, set up tasks with due dates, track expenses, create invoices, and track time.
ConductR is designed to handle a variety of different projects, including transcription, word processing, and document review.
Of course, the convenience of cloud computing - accessibility - is also sometimes one of its drawbacks. No internet? Too bad, your data is stored at some facility miles away.
So, does your firm need a cloud-based litigation organizer like conductR? Maybe, especially if you find yourself floundering in spreadsheets and paper-forms of organizing your litigation. ConductR does offer a free trial for 30 days, and they have multiple pricing and plan options with various amounts of possible users and storage space depending on how heavy your firm’s caseload is.
