ProTempus Business Philosophy & Pricing

Software Longevity
History is littered with the silicon dust of defunct software companies. Software giants WordStar, Visacorp and Amcor Computer Corporation are examples.

What did they have in common? An up-front purchase pricing model, a pricing philosophy that does not work long term. Deceased software vendors failed to realize that software is a service, not a product.

Software requires training, support and upgrades. As a user, you want your software vendor to be there for decades to come, providing the support you need at a moment’s notice. With front-loaded purchase models, the likelihood of that vendor sustaining enough sales to exist in the future to train and support your office staff is slim.

The companies that survive with this business model do so by charging you hidden fees. They sell you support contracts or bill by the hour and then charge for yearly upgrades—not to help their clients, but to maintain a steady revenue stream. While these extras costs are profit centers, they rarely generate enough revenue to keep the company strong if new sales slow down.

A Better Way
The only way to avoid this boom-and-bust software cycle is to provide software as a service—the ProTempus model. We don’t believe in hidden fees. Our service is all inclusive—FREE and UNLIMITED training, support and upgrades—all included in an affordable monthly fee.

Our business model is simple. We provide an excellent service at an affordable price that is sufficient to provide the service you need and the revenue we need to be here for years to come. A FREE 30-day trial and our policy of no long-term contracts make it easy to discover what ProTempus can do for you without risk or obligation.

Best of all, ProTempus client data resides on your computer. You have complete control of your clients’ confidential information. You provide the infrastructure (computers, Internet connections, firewalls and backups). We provide a comprehensive software system with unlimited support, upgrades and training.

Priceless

Example 1:
A solo attorney with two secretaries.
The monthly fee is $100, which covers the attorney and both office staff (non-billing staff are not charged for full access to ProTempus).

Example 2:
8 attorneys, 3 paralegals and 5 secretaries. 
The monthly fee is $500 [$100 (1st Attorney) + $280 (7 attorneys x $40) + $120 (3 paralegals x $40) = $500]. The 5 secretaries are non-billing staff and are not counted as users although have have full access to ProTempus. To further clarify, if there were 10 secretaries, all would be included along with the attorneys and paralegals for $500
