While we literally have improved every single feature and function in ESILAW 360, there are a number of changes that we want to bring to your attention. The list below outlines the significant differences between ESILAW and ESILAW 360. Be sure to view the Compare Features list as well to see what what ESILAW 360 offers that ESILAW does not.

• ESILAW 360 uses a Microsft SQL Server database and other leading technologies to provide a significant improvement in stability, scalability and security.
• You can set up multiple companies within ESILAW 360.
• Transaction entry has been streamlined so that you can enter transactions faster and view unposted transactions in the same window
• The user interface is now scalable and will resize if you scale your Windows font to any size, allowing for larger fonts and easier viewing of text on screen. In addition, the font of the application has been changed to a much easier to read font. Note that font scaling is also dependent on the resolution of your monitor as it pertains to applicable visibility.
• The Clients & Matters and Inquiry features have been combined into a new Client & Matter center that will help you manage your clients much easier. From the Clients & Matters center you can add and edit clients, perform conflict searches, enter and change transactions, view information, create bills and even produce reports.
• We no longer allow negative entries for transactions. However, we now provide new features such as Enter Refund, Enter NSF and Vendor Credit to help you enter what were formerly negative transactions much quicker and and easier.
• We have redesigned the billing features and overall process to allow you to create pre-bills, work on them and finalize them in one window. With the new workflow and added functionality in billing you no longer need to work in Word or WordPerfect to edit bills, recalculate totals and perform other bill related tasks. These new features will help you create bills much faster than you previously were able to.
• The receipt features are now split into three separate features; Enter Bills Payments (for client bill payments), Enter Unbilled Disbursement Payments and Enter General Receipts. All receipts will queue up in the Make Deposits feature based on the Payment type you use to enter the receipt.
• The Vendors and accounts payable features have been completely redesigned to function similar to client and matter management and transaction entry features. The Vendor center now offers an Invoice and Payments ledger where you can view all invoices and payments and work with transactions.
• Make Deposits will help you fast track your bank deposits. You can quickly select the receipts you have entered for each bank, finalize the deposit and print deposit reports for the firm and the bank. If necessary, you can also reprint and undo deposits.
• Bank reconciliation has been updated to simplify doing a bank reconcilation. It now displays deposits on a single line item with the total amount of the deposit and the deposit date. From the bank reconciliation window, you can view the actual deposit and even reprint it. You can also add, modify and post adjustments in the Clear Cheques & Deposits window.
• The Find feature has been enhanced so that you can search using more critiera and even change the state of transactions within the Find feature (e.g. reverse an entry).
• Reports have been modified so that the majority of reports can be run using additional criteria such as type of law or major client. You can also run reports with more flexiblity such as selecting multiple lawyers or timekeepers at the same time, even though they are not in a range.
• The Chart of Accounts feature is completely resdesigned in a manner that makes it much simpler to maintain or change your chart of accounts.
• For administrators or accountants in the firm, we have combined all accounting features into two navigators, reducing the need to navigate to multiple menus to complete tasks.
• The new backup features allows you to back up while users are in ESILAW 360. It will also create restore points that you can easily restore with the click of a button and back up all of your company files with one click.
• Adding additional users and installing the software on their computers is now a very simple process. Simply download the software, install it, and it will automatically search for any available company files on the network and allow you to connect to those computers and companies. This eliminates the need to do configure drive mapping, permissons and so forth.
