“Time and Billing: Be Trigger-Happy”

I love how "trigger" reminders work:

"Does your current time and billing software help you manage your law firm’s workflow? Does it identify key ‘events’ that trigger paperwork? If not, it may be time to upgrade.

"By simply defining certain conditions, or rules that must be met — such as the payment of an invoice, the generation of a specific type of document or even billable time that does not meet minimum amounts — event software integrates with your time and billing program.

"Once rules are established and thresholds are set, these systems are designed to be self-maintaining and will run transparently to automatically trigger notification alerts. Common events which can act as triggers in event-driven software include new clients, cash receipts over or under limits, vendor payments, new matters, unbilled time and/or cost write-offs, missing time, check processing, aged open vouchers, delinquent accounts receivable and hours-worked budgets on matters."
