xRM4Legal Fee Earner Interface
xRM4Legal
The xRM4Legal Fee Earner Interface has been
developed using a 4-tier architecture that separates
the “front-end” presentation layer from the business logic layer,
data access logic layer and database layer. The benefits are greater
flexibility and scalability – especially in the speed of accessing and displaying information for users – both on-premise and
Cloud-based
