:: never purchase another server
   Whether or not you believe the studies that show networked computers costs $8,000 - $10,000 per year to own, you do understand that computers need replacing. Each time you go through the process of buying a new network, you analyze and scrutinize where technology has evolved, vendors must be evaluated, solutions dissected and your partners gather for some heated debates, rather vote on which direction to pursue. Once the decision is made, the firm then faces the uncertainty of downtime, interruption, and lost billable time. With Gray Matter your technologies budget is predictable and flat lined for the life of your firm. Learn more...
:: anytime-anywhere access
   Could it really be possible that your outer offices, auditors, stay-at-home-moms, part-time tax processors, vacationing partners, Starbucks warriors and any other employee could access their programs and work on the absolute current version of the data, as if they were sitting at their own desk from anywhere and everywhere? Yes. With Gray Matter your users have the ability to work from anywhere at anytime. Learn more...
:: paperless foundation
   Paperless is a process. Many firms do not have the basics down, which would allow them to take advantage and "cherry pick" the first steps of moving to a paperless environment. When moving to paperless, more information is stored on the network than ever before. And, once your data is accessible from anywhere it becomes even more important to address foundational issues like naming conventions, privacy/security, PDF writing, versioning/check in/out, etc. Gray Matter makes going paperless more feasible and affordable by laying a foundation that allows the firm to migrate at its own pace and at a cost that works for you.
