About Pilgrim Systems - www.pilgrimsystems.com Since its formation in 1978, Pilgrim Systems has exclusively worked in the production of software solutions for law firms. LawSoft, Pilgrim's flagship Practice Management System, is a state of the art tool designed from the ground up to provide business benefit and competitive edge. Pilgrim's systems have constantly evolved in line with enabling computing technologies and changing requirements within the legal profession. From the basic time recording and accounting systems of the late 1970s, through the mini-computers of the 1980s, and on to the advent of the PC - which gave birth to today's business orientated Practice Management Systems - Pilgrim has always been a major innovator and an investor in new technologies to the benefit of its clients. Today, in the first decade of the 21st century, the legal profession faces more business challenges than ever, in the face of stiff competition, market consolidation, compliance requirements and the need for increased levels of client service and transparency. More than ever before the case for a modern Practice Management System - as distinct from an accounting system - is compelling.
