More and more law firms are equipping themselves with computers Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and not PC. The reliability, ergonomics and aesthetics of the product are arguments to which lawyers are sensitive. In the United States, Mac's market share was more than 60% among lawyers in 2013. The proportion is not so high in France but has increased significantly. Apple's market share can be estimated at around 40%. This then raises the question of choosing software for lawyers on Mac.
How to choose your lawyer software on Mac?
This change of equipment involves choosing a management software for Mac. Not everyone is compatible, far from it!
First of all, it is worth thinking about organizational and work process issues. Find in detail the 5 questions to ask yourself when choosing legal software.
But Mac-compatible lawyer software limits the choice. In fact, only solutions hosted in the cloud are now compatible. The various software publishers have all stopped their specific Mac developments. They no longer maintain them on new MacOS versions, forcing their customers to no longer update their machines!
Which hosted management solution for lawyers to choose?
Among the hosted solutions, it is important to distinguish between those that are truly Mac compatible and those that are only partially compatible. Indeed, some tools require an emulator (a Virtual Box or Parallel Desktop) to make their software functional. This software needs to install .exe format files on the machines, a format only compatible with Windows.
You must therefore realize that this implies no longer using your operating system at all and installing Windows on your Mac!
From our point of view, this is nonsense. What is the point of buying Apple hardware if you have to buy a Windows license, an antivirus and all its software? and use a large part of its machine resources to run this emulator? In this case, it is better to sell your Mac and buy a PC.
However, there are 100% hosted solutions, perfectly compatible with your Apple equipment. These software for lawyers on Mac are of course preferred. Jarvis Legal is of course part of it, since our 100% cloud technology guarantees you not only accessibility from any computer (PC, Mac, Linux, tablets, smartphones), but also perfect security thanks to our dedicated cloud operation.
