New features to the VLOTech software are developed at an average of one update every other week based on client requests and plans for development of the software. Recently, we added a feature that allows the VLOTech attorneys to receive notice of activity on their virtual law offices on their iphone, BlackBerry or other mobile device.

There are three options that the attorneys may select: 1) No Alerts, 2) Email alerts for new cases, or 3) Email alerts for new cases and case updates. The notice sent to their mobile device will provide a link that takes them directly to the case with the new activity after they log into the secure VLO. In addition to this new feature, several additions have been made to the case management tools section of the VLO from the attorney’s backend law office.

Features currently in development for the near future include a linkable and searchable legal research library, creating online forms within the VLO for use in client data intake and export functionality for accounting software, such as QuickBooks.
