Prochaska Heine Havranek – PHH Law Firm – Modern Project Management

in the legal field

Due to the growing internationalization, above all, of European legal systems, international cooperation of persons and authorities/institutions dealing with legal cases is becoming more and more important. The same is true for the necessity of providing a central work platform to all participants that enables a seamless exchange of information and documents, as well as ensures prompt, verifiable legal processes. This is why it makes sense even in the legal field to use modern project management tools to be able to represent and carry out individual work steps from the start of legal proceedings to their conclusion in a way that is totally transparent. This is especially true in cases in which a number of project employees are working simultaneously in different legal systems while separated at different locations. Here the aspect of coordination is very important, since there is a high level of standardization for legal processes (regarding deadlines, submissions, etc.).

PHH Law Firm and ProjectNetWorld®

The Vienna law firm PHH, which specializes in business law and increasingly in international cases, has been following this trend for quite a while now: they use project teams under the direction of various managers and maintain regional networks – centrally managed – that are responsible for the implementation of individual onsite projects.

Project Management

In order to manage the participating project employees and, at the same time, to provide efficient communication paths and a corresponding flow of information, PHH lawyers rely on the ProjectNetWorld® project management solution.

This modular, web-based application does not require any additional installation effort – Internet access and a browser are all that's required to use the software – and is, therefore, especially well-suited to support decentralized organizational structures. It offers a clearly-structured, easy-to-use work interface and provides all relevant project management tools, which can be customized to the respective project requirements.

In this case, the clearly-designed calendar and schedule planning function and fully-automatic archiving and/or versioning of project-relevant documents, file notes and other information are essential for timely project handling. This gives project managers a good overview of all project-specific processes and transactions at any time, enabling them to take corrective action if required. This is one of the major advantages of ProjectNetWorld®: This application is based on the software as a service (SaaS) principle. It provides a centralized and customizable project management platform that can be accessed at any time, making the monitoring and control of all project processes very simple..

Modular design and maximum cost transparency

In this way, the customers are billed only for what they actually need. The software is configured and leased according to project specifications. The resulting costs depend on the project duration as well as the number or users and/or project participants – service package included (e.g., operation, maintenance, storage, data security, support hotline). This ensures cost-effectiveness as well as efficient use of the service – and all this with maximum data security and constant availability.

The industry and specific project applications play no role. ProjectNetWorld® can be used in any company – anywhere there is demand for modern project management solutions without time or location dependencies.
