Abacus Next Celebrates Winningest Year on Record

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - December 27, 2016) - Abacus Next, the overarching brand of next generation turnkey technology solutions including fully managed IT infrastructure, virtual desktops, enterprise software, security and compliance solutions, all 'as a service', has received a total of 13 high-profile awards in 2016, breaking its previous record of 8 in 2015. The previous record was shattered when Amicus Attorney, one of the case management systems offered under the Abacus Next product umbrella, received TechnoLawyer's 'Top 25 Products of 2016 Award' on December 22, 2016.

"This year has proven that busy lawyers, doctors, and CPAs are not only looking to streamline their practices with technology, but are also dedicated to finding the right solution for their firms and practices," said Alessandra Lezama, CEO. "Our intention has always been to create solutions that resonate with our audience, and make their lives easier. We are proud to have won each of these awards and close the year on top."

This marks the 13th award received by Abacus Next's suite of products -- which includes the Abacus Private Cloud, AbacusLaw, and Amicus Attorney, amongst others -- this year. Other awards include:

• Best Case Management Software, Best Docket Management Software, and Best Docketing and Calendaring Software from the Best of Connecticut Law Journal
• Best Managed IT Service (Bronze Award) from the Daily Report
• Best Case Management Software, Best Docketing and Calendaring Software, Best Docket Management Software, Best Time and Billing Software, and Best Matter Management Systems Award from the 2016 Best of New Jersey Law Journal from the New Jersey Law Journal
• Top 25 Products of 2016 Award from TechnoLawyer

The most recent award was voted on by readers, not by the editorial staff at TechnoLawyer, a publication written for tech-savvy lawyers and legal professionals. When a product's website is visited from the TechnoLawyer website it is considered a vote, making it more meaningful than if editors subjectively chose the winners.
