If you haven't already purchased my Step by Step Guide to Amicus Attorney, now is the time.  This great training manual will help your users learn more about the great features in Amicus 5.5, 5.8 or Amicus Small Firm.
 
This is also a reminder that we offer complete Amicus training and consulting services - we use various remote services to log into your system and help your users become more productive in Amicus, or help you manage or administer Amicus for your firm.
 
Also, don't forget about our newest service - a monthly or quarterly Amicus checkup.  Click on the link below to request more information about this service.
 
 
Dear Lori,

This is a special announcement about several notices that were send to you from Gavel & Gown regarding discontinued technical support for AA Version V, effective 6-1-07. 
 
Yes, it is true - Gavel & Gown will no longer be supporting Version V, although we can still support many issues.
 
However, this is a good time to take advantage of the great specials on upgrades.  If you are still using Version V (5.0, 5.1 or 5.1.1), and you upgrade prior to May 31, 2007, you will receive a 40 or 50% discount off the upgrade price (40% if you DO NOT currently have an Annual Technical Support Plan - or 50% if you DO currently have a Tech Support Plan).
 
Special Upgrade Pricing
 
Keep in mind that the prices shown below are NOT including the 40 or 50% discounts, so your cost would be less than the costs listed.  These are prices for AA5 Advanced (AE) users to upgrade to:
  • AA5.5 (V+) AE - $199/license
  • AA5.5 C/S - $299 (1st license) and $199 (additional licenses), plus $750 (no discounts) for the Faircom DB
  • AA Small Firm - $249 (1st lic.) and $199 (addtl. lic.)
  • AA7 Standard - $279 (1st lic.) and $199 (addtl. lic.)
  • AA7 Premium - $449 (1st lic.) and $379 (addtl. lic.)

These are prices for AA5 Client/Server (CS) users to upgrade to:

  • AA5.5 (V+) CS - $199/license
  • AA7 Premium Edition - $419 (1st lic.) and $349 (addtl. lic.)

If you are still using Amicus IV (or earlier), call us for pricing.

 
Differences between Versions
 
Version 5.5 (V+) - There are a number of new features that were not in Version 5 (V) - here are the most exciting ones:
  • Notes Module - no more sticky notes all over your PC.  Jot down a quick note and save it to a File, or convert it into a Phone Call, Phone Message, E-mail, ToDo, Appointment or Time Entry.  Or send it to another Team Member.
  • Calendar Email Notification - automatic notification of new events or changes to events
  • Improved Calendar Reminders - Reminder alerts can now be set up to 7 days in advance
  • Palm Link Enhancements - range of contacts to synchronize; contact group/category and communications field mapping; default communication labels on new Palm contacts

Amicus Small Firm - the same as Version 5.5 (V+) Advanced Edition, with the addition of a link to Amicus Accounting.
