As the most widely used legal-specific billing system in the U.S. and one of the most tenured in the billing system industry, Tabs3 has set the precedent for features and functionality release after new release. The competition follows. This year is no different.

If you are a small to medium size law firm / accounting firm and considering Timeslips as well as Tabs3, we have put together a brief list of facts for you to review. The information below is based on material from Timeslips as of January 2002.

FACTS TO CONSIDER

Timeslips was first installed in 1985. Tabs3’s first installation was in a law firm in 1979. By the time Timeslips was released in 1985, Tabs3 had already been installed in over 1,000 law firms across the U.S.

Some features are added by all software vendors based on their competition. This is nothing new. But we believe that certain features fit into a category of features that are key in the daily workings of a law or accounting firm. That is why they have been in Tabs3 for years. That’s why so many firms switch from Timeslips to Tabs3. That’s why Tabs3 is used by more law firms in the U.S. than any other legal-specific billing system.
