Experience

The OTB Practice Area Templates have been developed by three of the top LexisNexis Front Office/Back Office experts. Between the OTB Principals, they have 39 years of legal practice, and over 40 years of legal technology consulting. Our Practice Area Templates are a result of first hand knowledge ... we are hands-on consultants, working with hundreds of firms around the world.

Innovation

Our Practice Area Templates bring you innovations that you won't find anywhere else. Bob McNeill's Action List is beginning to be the de facto standard for the way that people use Front Office, with or without our Practice Area Templates. Mark Spengler first published the concept of the Actors Table over 6 years ago, and it was hardcoded into Front Office 9.0 as the User Defined Record types.  The Actrors concept has been vital to helping Front Office users work with Contacts in multiple Matters. Tom Rowe is one of the leading authorities on the use of Power Views in Time Matters and it shows in the central role they play in OTB's Practice Area Templates.

From Tom's Delegation System, and Tom and Bob's definitive white paper on the use of Time Matters Email, to the dozens of new innovations introduced in our Practice Area Templates, OTB's principal consultants have been and will continue to be at the forefront of Front Office innovation ... which is now brought to you in our Practice Area Templates.

Best Value

Our price point is the best you will find. At $50 per seat, plus 2 hours of installation and orientation services to help you get the Practice Area Templates working for you, you can gain the equivalent of tens of thousands of dollars of high end consulting at a fraction of the price. Our Personal Injury Practice Template costs a 10 user firm $800. To customize Front Office from scratch to the level of our Practice Area Template -- if it could be done -- would cost somewhere between $10,000 to $50,000 in consulting time. We know, we've done it.

While you may still need training and additional customization to meet your firm- specific needs, there is no question that our Practice Area Templates deliver an incredible value to a Front Office/Back Office firm.
