At Murphy Wasinger we view information technology as an enabling resource that makes us more competent and competitive, not as something we are being pressured to do. We firmly believe that for us to best serve all of our clients, we must be thoroughly up-to-date with information technology and its applications. We can absolutely assure clients that our capabilities and resources put us at the forefront of the information age. Our firm's use of this technology has resulted in national, regional and local recognition.

Murphy Wasinger has installed a new network that links all of our professionals and their homes to every vital resource they may need to service clients. This network is supported by experienced and professional consultants whose mission is to provide Murphy Wasinger with unparalleled computing power, information access, storage and retrieval with complete security and system redundancy to protect all vital information.

Our network provides the most efficient service possible to our clients. With these tools our professionals are much more productive and provide our clients with more value.

We live in the instant communication age where cell phones; faxes, e-mail, streaming video and video conferencing are no longer esoteric high tech toys, but vital and integral business tools.

We believe that most legal projects today are management-intensive and require a genuine team effort to be successful. Coordinating the skills of clients, attorneys, experts, and others is critical. Accessibility to people and information resources must be fast and seamless for everyone involved.

Our system network architecture allows us to create, retrieve and share information with all engagement team members easily through e-mail. Anything that’s in the network can be shared, communicated, revised and approved quickly and easily.

We are proud of our technology capabilities and believe they make us better at what we do best—provide clients with more than law, provide clients with a consultative partner to make their business more successful. We also recognize that our technology capabilities can help our clients and we have assisted many clients to install necessary technology.

We work conscientiously to stay ahead of the curve and are continually training and updating our professionals so that they can handle every client project with thoroughness and economy by using information technology, not simply having it available.
