About Us

Comware Computer Systems was established in May 1990 with the view to service the Information Technology needs of law firms.

Comware operates on the basis that we interact with our clients not only as systems providers but more importantly their Information Technology (IT) Partner.

We believe to act, as an effective consultant requires a ‘hands on’ approach involving interaction with hardware and software vendors, the products they market and how they will benefit the firm. Given the rapid changes that occur in our industry, impact on existing environments can only be determined by implementing and testing products prior to installation within the organisation.

The key to the successful utilisation of technology is to determine how it will work for the firm, the benefits the partnership should realistically expect and the on-going cost of maintaining this technological advantage.

As part of this process we endeavour to

• establish partner requirements & expectations
• develop a technology plan
• assist in preparation of annual IT budgets
• discuss & demonstrate infrastructure by way of hardware & software tools
• determine staff levels and necessary skill sets

Areas that need to be considered are

• cabling structure and management
• computer room layout
• migration from legacy systems to Windows environment
• use of a centralised SQL database
• use of document management and document assembly technology
• integration of client practice management data with client document data
• redundancy and disaster recovery planning
• education and training of staff in new procedures and tools
• education and training lawyers in new procedures and tools where appropriate
• understanding workflow and assist in development of procedures
