  • Online Services List
    Online Services for Law Firms Operating a law firm remotely can be easier and far less expensive than many believe is possible. For as little as $12/mo per user, you can have access to a suite of tools that will allow you to access and work with documents, as well as to collaborate with others, from anywhere you have a reliable internet connection. For less than $150/mo per user, you can have enterprise-grade services that will allow you to do everything from manage your firm and enjoy robust telephone and video conferencing services to advanced document management services and cloud-based collaboration platforms. Not only are these services affordable and scalable, but they are easy to set up and use. There are many service providers out there, and the CBA does not intend the following list either to be exclusive or to connote any preference for those services that are listed. The providers listed below represent many of the most popular service providers in each of the categories listed. During these unprecedented times, the goal is to provide you with a starting point to identify and utilize those services that likely will be necessary to operate your legal practice remotely so you can minimize the financial impact that COVID-19 will have on your practice. Conceptually, we have broken down the different service providers into four categories: (1) bundled office services, (2) firm management/billing services, (3) video conferencing/collaboration platforms, and (4) miscellaneous firm services. It is important to note that there is often some overlap between the different service providers.

  • Amazon.Com, Inc. Christopher Noe and Joseph Weber
    17-183 Revised February 19, 2019 Amazon.com, Inc. Christopher Noe and Joseph Weber On May 15, 2017, Amazon.com celebrated the 20th anniversary of its initial public offering (IPO).1 Over the preceding two decades, Amazon had grown from a small e-commerce startup to the fourth largest U.S. public company, trailing only Apple, Alphabet (Google’s parent), and Microsoft.2 The company reached such a size, however, with little to show in terms of profitability. Amazon chose to invest in expansion and research and development with the idea that sacrificing profit in the short-term would allow the company to maximize profit in the long-term. Company Background Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos. Prior to starting Amazon, Bezos worked in New York as a vice president at D. E. Shaw & Co., a global investment management firm, but decided to quit his job and move to Seattle to take advantage of the incredible growth of the Internet. The Amazon website launched on July 16, 1995. Amazon began as an online bookstore, but the company had innovative strategies that set it apart from competitors. It offered discounts up to 30%, allowed customers to post their own book reviews on its website, and continually worked to improve the ease of placing orders with technological features like “1-Click” shopping.3 These strategies derived from Amazon’s customer-focused mission statement: 1 Dawn Kawamoto, “Amazon.com IPO Skyrockets,” CNET, May 15, 1997, https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-com-ipo-skyrockets/ (accessed August 2017). 2 Center for Research in Security Prices.
