Development Director Joseph Irvine believes that this new product will really enable legal practices to model various cost cutting scenarios and instantaneously forecast their effect on revenue projections - taking fiction out of forecasting. "in the current business environment practices need to be sure that applying efficiency measures will result in guarenteed revenue benefits. Legal-i's Forecast Dashboard delivers the environment for practices to test these changes on their business forecast model."
The Forecast Dashboard is the latest in the suite of interactive Business Intelligence OLAP Dashboards and Legal-i cubes from Decision Solutions who offer plug-in solutions for practice managment applications such as Norwell, Pilgram Lawsoft, Winscribe and soon to be Elite.
With variable forecast ranges the practice manager is now able to 'test' the revenue impact of various cost cutting or revenue increasing changes throughout the practice.

No Price Increase for SQL Server 2008
Microsoft won't raise the price of SQL Server 2008 when it ships, as scheduled, in the second quarter of 2008, SQL Storage chief Ted Kummert told attendees of the 2007 Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) Community Summit last week. He also unveiled new pricing incentives aimed at getting Oracle database users to switch to SQL Server.
After five years elapsed between the deliveries of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005, Microsoft was determined to keep the database to a three-year release cycle. Judging from Kummert's keynote at the PASS show in Denver, Colorado, last week, it appears that Microsoft is keeping on track with that plan.
And what's more, unlike the hefty price increases that SQL Server 2005 brought compared to SQL Server, SQL Server 2008 won't cost any more to buy than SQL Server 2005, Kummert said.
