LinuxPR: Major Law Firm Installation of Linux

“Large Law Firm in Detriot area installs Linux at 5 offices
both servers and desktop’s, using Red Hat Linux, Corel WordPerfect,
LTSP and Linux ThinStations.”

“The law firm of Cummings, McClorey, Davis and Acho (CMDA) in
Livonia MI and the computer services firm of Unique Systems, Inc.,
of Holland OH (http://www.uniqsys.com) announce a
major installation of WordPerfect and Linux as the backbone of the
law practice.”

“The five CMDA offices in Michigan now operate entirely on five
Linux servers and one SCO UNIX server. All of the Linux and SCO
servers are Terian servers from Jones Business Systems in Houston
TX (http://www.jbsi.com). Each
Linux server is running Red Hat Linux (http://www.redhat.com). This
state-of-the-art installation takes advantage of many capabilities
of Linux that are either cost prohibitive or not possible on other
platforms.”

“CMDA had been a long time user of WordPerfect for most of its
office applications, but also had many incompatible Microsoft and
Lotus products. To update their systems for Y2K and to standardize
on one set of office tools, they considered many options including
Microsoft Office, WordPerfect Office for Windows and WordPerfect
for Linux. Without a full time PC or UNIX expert on staff, they
wanted to standardize on thin client technology, to enable easier
and less costly support for their MIS operation over time. Other
objectives included full time Internet access, and replacement of
existing leased lines connecting their offices.”
