Co-founder and CTO of FWBS an internationally recognised ISV. Our award winning solutions were deployed globally to 100s of law firms in the world and are still being used today. Our solution caused a change in approach to support the idea of focusing on how lawyers need to work. We drove value directly inside of the office applications like Word and Outlook against more traditional solutions that worked in a single application and required you to navigate multiple solutions to get your job done. Mattercentre and the original EpitomeOMS solution changed this and only now are vendors looking to deliver similar ways of delivering business productivity inside of office.
