The Law Offices of Michael Samuel recently implemented this new product for their legal collection activities. Michael says, “I?ve used other collections software that forced our office to manually input items for processing, particularly when generating legal documents. The same features are seamlessly integrated into Latitude. We are able to fully prepare complaints, information subpoenas and other court documents with the push of a button. Latitude has completely integrated the legal case module into the collection system, which far surpasses the functionality of competing software.”
Latitude Version 4 introduced new letter and business entry modules that were entirely redesigned using the latest .NET technology. Global Software Services, Inc. has seen its client base triple within the last year. With innovative products such as Latitude, Latitude CS™ (a Web-based client access portal), Latitude AIM™ (Agency Interface Module for placement/recall/reassignment of accounts to external resources) and Latitude Fax™ (automated document image capture) Global Software has become an industry leader in advanced technology solutions.
