The top students of the graduating class who attended the Quisumbing Torres cocktails said that the firm is "high-tech". Of the many technologically advanced features in the law firm according to them, I remember only two namely that each lawyer has a laptop aside from the desk top computer and a blackberry phone.
Then, i came across this article: "ICT helps Quisumbing Torres enhance its operations" which confirmed their reports.
"[A] robust electronic mail system is definitely critical in its daily operations. E-mail gives the lawyers the speed of communication, which they need in corresponding with their clients and other lawyers abroad. It also saves time and money as compared to a snail mail system.
Another way ICT helps the firm is by using an Automated Time-Keeping system for lawyers. It is a fact that lawyers bill their clients based on the time the services are rendered, hence this automated time-keeping system speeds up billing, concretizes the time of work rendered, and filters unnecessary charges to the clients. Accuracy in timekeeping ensures quicker billing time and strengthens the confidence of its clients.
There is also an automated system for facsimiles and photocopying machines that log transactions. This system helps bill the right clients, eliminates duplication of charges, and proves to be a quicker and winning solution for the firm.
Menguito further said that being a leader in technology in the industry provides add-on value to its existing and prospective clients. Its status as a leader in technology makes it attractive to prospective clients looking for a firm that will be able to serve its requirements quickly and efficiently.
Quisumbing Torres recently procured a Fujitsu Image Scanner, which is used to help electronically share documents from lawyer-partners abroad, and Fujitsu Auto Loader Express System for data storage. These two products also help in upgrading the level of technology application of the firm and maintain its leadership in the field, technology-wise."
This is yet another success story of how ICT has been continuously revolutionizing the way we do things especially in business for more efficiency and productivity.
