Meet Your Firm Central Implementations Team
The Thomson Reuters team in charge of onboarding takes great pride in their white-glove coaching services to welcome new small law firms into the Firm Central family. Led by Jessie Dieltz, team lead on the Firm Central implementations team, she’s joined by seven others including Colby Hawley, data migration project manager.
“When I step in, the law firm has an opportunity to use the data migration process as a way to clean files and eliminate obscure data prior to migrating to Firm Central,” said Colby Hawley, Thomson Reuters project manager for data migration. “Out of the gate, we take a methodical approach to migration and look at security, privacy, and sensitivity of the data itself. If necessary, we teach the customer to migrate highly sensitive data themselves.”
When a new Firm Central customer needs to export data, manually add clients into the software or fully migrate from a competitor product, then Hawley gets involved early in the on-boarding process. Data migration is a huge white glove service and selling point of Firm Central.
“Our approach to educating new customers about Firm Central is like a warm welcome with continual nurturing until the student is ready to fly solo,” said Jessie Dieltz, Thomson Reuters Team Leader for project implementation. “We never lose sight of the customer and continue to hand them off from one team member to another until all questions are answered. No other company focuses on the customer experience after the sale like the Thomson Reuters Firm Central implementations team.”
