Client Profile:
Software Technology, Inc. (STI) develops, markets, sells, and supports software for the legal industry. STI has two widely used products: Tabs3 and PracticeMaster. The Tabs3 system tracks hours worked and creates bills based on those hours. PracticeMaster is used to manage legal practices. Its primary functions are scheduling and managing contacts. STI has been in business since 1979 and currently employs around 65 people.

Project Opportunity:
STI's internal order processing and invoicing systems were developed many years ago in what are now aging technologies. The legacy systems do not allow multiple users and cannot get updated data as often as STI would like. To improve the efficiency of its business processes, STI needs a new system developed with current technologies allowing multiple users and always current data.

Project Solution:
The J.D. Edwards Design Studio team is developing a new Order Entry and Invoicing system in the latest version of Microsoft's .NET framework. This system will provide all of the functionality in the existing system while adding a web interface and multi-user support. Over the course of the project, the J.D. Edwards Design Studio team will collaborate with STI's developers while using cutting edge technologies.
