Jenner & Block adopts NetSimplicity's room scheduling software
Full service national law firm, Jenner & Block, LLP, has installed Meeting Room ManagerTM, a room scheduling software brought out by NetSimplicity Software. NetSimplicity's 200th customer, Jenner & Block chose the software because of its "user-friendly, automated system for firmwide use with configurable features critical for a law firm." Faye G. Kubacha, director of office services at Jenner & Block, said that the firm was finding it unmanageable to have a "coordinated firmwide method for handling conference room reservations, catering and equipment needs."
Law firms using Meeting Room ManagerTM benefit from its enhanced client meeting experiences and reduce the wastages of time owing to inefficient scheduling. The software also helps these firms keep an accurate track of the usage of meeting rooms and associated services such as catering and equipment, and charge for them accordingly.
A leader in easy-to-use office administration, software company NetSimplicity's designs help to make everyday office administrative tasks easier.

Edward Coultas, managing partner at Hughes & Luce said that the idea to merge operations with an international firm like K&L Gates stemmed from the firm's need to represent clients based outside Texas.
