MasterFile's New Hosted Service Eliminates In-House IT Costs and Gives Smaller Legal Practices Advanced Case Analysis, Evidence and Document Management for Less Than $2 a Day

VANCOUVER, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- MasterFile Software today announced its new hosted service -- the perfect, affordable solution for small legal practices who need integrated case analysis, an evidence repository, document management and an e-discovery platform without requiring IT staff or managing servers.

"With MasterFile Hosted Services (MFHS), small organizations can take advantage of MasterFile's novel all-in-one litigation support, case analysis and document management system without concern for running an in-house server," said Zainul Ebrahim, Vice President of Business Development at MasterFile. "At just $2 per day per user, less than a cup of coffee, and no per case or evidence loading fees, MFHS has the best price/performance in the industry and puts the smaller practice on par with larger firms."

MasterFile Hosted Services gives the lawyer or litigator the following clear benefits over SaaS systems:

-- MasterFile is used all day, every day, for all document needs whether related to litigation, corporate or family law - unlike SaaS applications which are designed primarily for large-scale litigation.

-- No per case hosting fees, matter setup or data loading costs. Users can set-up any number of cases or matters with one click and load case documents and e-mail themselves using MasterFile's Express Load. No document or e-mail data sets need to be sent to SaaS providers - whose fees can easily run hundreds of dollars per GB.

-- Flexibility: Mix and match MFHS with your own MasterFile servers as needed. Unlike SaaS, MasterFile users have flexibility to decide, on a matter by matter basis, what to keep on their in-house MasterFile servers and what to host with MFHS, while continuing to use MasterFile without noticing any difference. It's that simple.

-- Mobility: Full functionality off-line or on-line. "Since MasterFile keeps all case material in one place and looks and functions exactly the same online or offline, users can work wherever they are - even on a plane - a task impossible with any web-based solution," said Ebrahim. "When back online, they synchronize everything in all their cases via a secure, encrypted channel with one click."

-- Archiving: Move old/dormant cases onto your own computers. Since archival in MasterFile means live, review any archived case at any time! If a case is re-activated, simply restore it to MFHS with one click. Users are not faced with significant monthly online costs for cases no one accesses anymore.
