Orion recently attended LegalTech NY 2014. We were excited to announce our latest software offerings, while getting a first-hand look at what our clients and industry peers are up to.
We also had the opportunity to meet with many experts in the law technology industry to demo our new products, which created a great amount of “buzz” about Orion!
Below, Kevin Harris, Project Manager at Orion, demos the new iOrion Version 2.0 for Robert J. Ambrogi of the LawSites Blog. He covered our initial launch of iOrion in this blog post last year.

Orion on the LexBlog Network
As part of LXBN’s coverage of LegalTech NY 2014, Kevin Harris of Orion was interviewed by Collin O’Keefe of LXBN TV to discuss consolidation and mobility, the two biggest trends in legal software today.
Collin O’Keefe – “The legal technology space is constantly evolving, both in its overall structure, and then in its products. As with most verticals, legal technology is increasingly growing more mobile-and that’s certainly a good thing. But in looking at the landscape of the legal technology industry as a whole, we’re seeing a lot more consolidation, and my guest on LXBN TV isn’t so sure that’s a good thing for consumers.”

Support Corner
Financial Management
A User changed the address on a Contact/Client, but it is not reflected on the Invoice which was just printed. How do I correct this?
Each Client has a minimum of two address records – Primary and Billing. When editing an address through the Contact View, the Primary address is the default address used. The User must also change the Billing address. Changing one address does not automatically change the other addresses.
Assuming the User has the rights to change the Billing address, they need to open the Contact record for the Client, click on the red arrow to the right of the word “Primary” and choose “Billing”…

Practice Management
How can I set-up a series of dates on the calendar all-at-once based on a starting date such as a “date of loss” (DOL)?
