Skype is a great way for people to keep in touch. It offers chat and video between 2 people. The account is free, the usage is free, and the calls are free. You need a mic & speakers, webcam is optional. You can even use Skype on your iPhone or Android device and use your cellular data signal.For law firms this is a fantastic way to keep in touch for an interoffice chat or a great wat to keep in touch when setup in the cloud in various locations. We have also used this as an alternative solution to costly conference calls over seas for our law firms. It also works great for multi-user conference calls.You can even have security on who can Skype you if you wanted to add that extra layer of security. Many of our attorneys use skype to text or video chat with their paralegals while on the go since skype is fully compatible with Apple and Android devices. This is a great free service that we use internally, we highly recommend it.

I've been working with law firms for many years simplifying their technologies while offering them the very best services & support. The model that I have created is based on the reality that IT sucks, and frankly, no one likes it. My experience tells me that this is especially true for law firms. In coming to that realization years ago I had to change the way I did business. Among many other services that we had to offer, in order to cater to law firms specifically, we had to become invisible and that's exactly what we have accomplished.
