Law Firms
We know how critical technology is to a law firm. We understand that in an industry that bills by the hour, network down time results in huge monetary losses for the firm. Optimal Networks’ comprehensive understanding of law firms’ network and system needs enables us to provide unparalleled service to some of the most prominent small to mid-sized law firms in the DC area and beyond.
Optimal Networks:
- Can support the technologies you use every day — technologies like time and billing software, document management systems and handheld email devices
- Understands the critical nature of an attorney’s time and, therefore, can respond to attorney and staff computer and system questions instantly — and remotely
- Knows that client confidentiality cannot be breached and works to make your servers as secure as possible
- Remains current on document management systems essential to your productivity — like matter centric document management systems that can save you time during search and retrieval. We implement and support the industry leading document management system, Interwoven’s Worksite (formerly iManage).

The thoroughness of your proposal, in which you designed an entire legal information system, was impressive...
Our system has all the capabilities one would expect in a modern law firm: email, document management, network faxing, remote access, internet security, accounting (including time and billing), and more. I was also pleased with your ability to coordinate with our software consultant to ensure that the network was designed properly for the specialized software. Our staff was able to hit the ground running on day one, productively billing clients.
