Gotchas!
OR:
“What I learned during my summer implementation.”
Power
• You can’t have enough– UPS systems the size of a small room
• You can’t make it clean enough– Ground everything!
• You can’t know enough– Hire the experts
Bandwidth
• You can’t get enough
• Calculate, Calculate, Calculate
• Once you know what you need, buy more
Call Routing
• How do your offices handle incoming calls to the main number?
• How do your offices handle incoming calls to attorneys?
• 800 numbers?• Nightbells?• Human contact vs. ICD• Follow the sun coverage (One Firm)
Voice Prompts
• Must match call routing
• Getting the right voice
• Matching firm culture– “Ring All Extensions”?– “All operators are busy” or “let it ring”
Training
• Use live phones
• What applications?
• How much can you cover at once?
• Documentation– 3 X 5 Card– Trifold– Intranet
