Rocket Matter has been furiously updating its software over the last 6 months or so. I mentioned the new Rocket Matter iPhone appwhen it launched, back in September. TheiPhone app is native, so it works whether or not you are connected, so you can access your matters, bill time, and see your calendar.
Mobile access to your practice management software is pretty crucial, but I’m more excited to see Rocket Matter’s clever email integration. Email is the one feature that is always either missing from practice management software, or awful. One solution (used by Clio) is to give you a matter-specific email address to which you can forward matter-related emails. Rocket Matter’s solution is to let you associate an email folder with your matter. You still use your regular email client (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) to do your actual emailing, but Rocket Matter will associate your emails with your matter. You still have to manually sort your email into that folder (or use a clever filter), but it’s helpful if you need your staff to be able to see those emails, too.
