Few technologies have made the rapid impact on business communications that the Internet has. The Internet is for data and written communication what the telephone system is for vocal communication. Internet connectivity is rapidly becoming de rigueur for full participation in the modern business world. Today, no serious business owner would even consider not having a fax machine -- Internet email is very rapidly displacing fax as the preferred conduit for written and graphic communication and even replacing telephone use for many types of communication. Tremendous opportunities for increased knowledge and effectiveness are available on the World Wide Web. Even old-line dial-up services such as West Law are now available conveniently from the Web.

Internet email is about more than the passing of simple written messages between two parties. Internet email is about sending word processing documents to multiple recipients, creating a documented thread of conversation between several people, replying to memos immediately, communicating easily with people in different time zones or with different schedules. Internet email is about an organized filing system for inter-office memos, keeping in touch with the office from remote locations or from home. It is about using time effectively instead of being constrained by time and distance. Not that long ago the question "Do you have a fax number?" was common, now it is silly. Practically no one asks "Do you have an email address?" now the question is "What is your email address?". Just having an AOL account that you check once a day is not sufficient. In today's business it is imperative that everyone in your organization have full time, immediate access to email on their desktop. When someone within your organization, or in the outside world send you an email you need to know it as soon as it arrives in your box, not the next time you get around to dialing in. Anything less and you simply will not be able to keep up.

Nowhere is email more effective than in information-intensive fields such as the legal profession. The legal profession has long used such technologies as word processing and fax to create and share documents. Internet email makes collaboration and sharing of documents possible in a totally new way. It is no longer necessary to re-type a faxed or mailed document sent by a colleague or opposing counsel. A twenty-page interrogatory can be emailed in a matter of seconds, complete with formatting. It can then be incorporated into another document, corrected with no re-typing, electronically searched, stored and forwarded to colleagues for their review! This is not about just keeping up with the Jones', or having a cool new toy. Clearly this is a better way to do business.

The World Wide Web offers tremendous opportunities for professionals in any information-intensive field. Web sites and discussion groups exist for every conceivable specialty. Attorneys should check out our list of law-related web sites at http://www.graylint.com/LawRelatedSites.htm. Many of these sites are "meta-sites" that link to other lists of legal resources for specialized practices. There are many web sites that function as discussion groups where you can post a question and receive replies from your peers, or search through previously discussed subjects. Each week thousands of new web sites are being created and chances are there is information on many of these sites that could benefit you greatly. GrayLint can provide your organization with the tools and knowledge to find what you need on the Web rapidly and with minimal effort.

The Internet advantages listed above are about connecting your organization to the Internet.

A web page highlighting your organization is very affordable and can get your name in front of an audience of millions. We will work closely with the best web designers in the region to create a site that you will be proud of and will bring you business.

Even a one-page web site can generate business and create a "handle" for people to contact you via an email link, a telephone number or a postal address on the page.
