Legal Software Systems
Legal Software Systems is a:

This means Legal Software Systems typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Legal Software Systems on a remote server in a remote datacenter. In this scenario, firm members may RDP, TeamViewer, RemoteApp, or Screen Connect to a remote PC where they access Legal Software Systems. In this scenario, some people may say that Legal Software Systems runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.
