Long gone are the days when advanced and complex technology was the sole preserve of global and national behemoths at the top-end of the legal market.

Nowadays, even the giant software companies such as SAP and its rivals, which provide financial systems for multinational corporations, are reaching out to medium-sized law firms with the argument that they may get more business from their larger clients if they buy watered down versions of these financial systems. There are currently four resellers for SAP alone in the legal industry and they are all focusing on the mid-market.
