Abacus Data Systems, the San Diego company long known for its AbacusLaw practice management system, branched off in a whole new direction today with the launch of Abacus Private Cloud (APC), a secure, hosted, cloud-based environment for law firms to run all their technology and applications.
The idea is to free law firms from the burdens of IT management and the expense of IT installation and maintenance. With APC, law firms need no special hardware or software and no network infrastructure.
Instead, APC literally becomes the lawyer’s desktop. After logging in, the APC virtual desktop replaces your computer’s desktop (although it can be minimized at any time to return to your own desktop). You do all your work in this virtual environment, from creating and editing Microsoft Office documents to managing email to browsing the Web. Abacus takes care of everything, including storing and backing up your data
