BEC Software Solutions are designed to improve practice management efficiency. Our modular approach allows you to select the solution for you specific needs. The suite consists of independent modules for legal calendaring, docketing and task management; document automation and advanced templates; and matter and contact management. These modules can be used independently or together to provide a custom software solution.
An important component of the BEC software suite is the central database called BEC CoreRelate. CoreRelate simplifies the centralization of matter information and shares this information among all of our modules.
All BEC applications offer exceptional integration with Microsoft Word and Outlook. This enables matter-based document assembly within Word (using shared Word templates and clause libraries that merge with matter information) and centralized date tracking (using a secure database with synchronization to Outlook calendars and task lists.)
Quality documents are essential. They reflect both the expertise and standards of your firm. BEC software – LegalBar and Assemble-It – is specifically designed to elevate the use and efficiency of generating documents.
LegalBar provides a comprehensive solution including templates, legal styles/numbering, and clean-up utilities. Assemble-It organizes your standard legal content and makes it available for insertion in any document.
