Email Template:

Good morning/afternoon,

I just got off the phone with Dan Berlin, President of Tabs3 software, and he wanted me to share some great news with you!

Tabs3 Billing Software was just named the most innovative billing software of 2016 by American Lawyer Media, Legaltech News, and The Recorder. The Innovation Awards are an annual recognition of the best legal technology leaders, products, and projects in the legal community.

I’m honored to support an innovative product like Tabs3, and would love to show you the newest features sometime soon.

If you’re interested in scheduling some time with me for a demonstration, let me know.

Thanks you,

Your Name

Office 2016 Integration

As we start to notify firms about the update to Version 18, we want to make sure you know that the Office 2016 integration with Tabs3 and PracticeMaster has been fully tested. This includes Office 2016 32-bit and 64-bit versions, as well as Exchange Server 2016. Additionally, Version 18 is also compatible with using Outlook 2016 as the MAPI client on the Platinum Server for the Exchange Connector (as of v18.1.3.390 posted March 14, 2016). Knowledge Base article R11657, Third Party Integration Requirements, has been updated to reflect that Office 2016 and Exchange Server 2016 have been tested.

ProPay Support and New Client Inquiry Information

With the release of Version 18.1, Tabs3 now integrates with ProPay for credit card processing. Below is some helpful information regarding ProPay.

How do I contact ProPay Customer Service?

You can contact ProPay Customer Service at [email protected] or by clicking the Technical Support link in the Credit Card Authorization window. ProPay customer service is available Monday through Friday from 7AM to 5PM MT, and you can typically expect a response within an hour (they tell us usually within 15 min). We recommend including your firm name as well as a phone number where you can be reached when submitting a support request.

Note: ProPay Customer Service is optimized to respond to Tabs3 firms’ support requests via the [email protected] email address. Attempting to contact ProPay by telephone is very likely to result in a significantly longer wait time.

How can I sign up to accept credit cards through ProPay?

If you are ready to sign up, visit Tabs3.com/ProPay. If you have questions about setting up a ProPay account, you can fill out the contact form on the signup page. It’s important to note that if a firm processes over $50k of transactions in a month, they will need to sign up through an underwriting process, but that should take less than 72 hours.

You can view it now on the Law Technology Today blog.

Sunset of Version 15.3 Reminder

As a reminder effective June 1, 2016, we will no longer support version 15.3 of Tabs3 and PracticeMaster software. Knowledge Base article R11050 provides additional information about the product life cycle of Tabs3 and PracticeMaster software.

Please advise clients using version 15.3 that they will need to update in order to receive support after June 1 of this year.  We stopped selling version 15.3 in March 2011, so it will have been supported for nearly five years.

Updates on Credit Card Integration in Version 18

We wanted to update you on a few opportunities you and your clients will have to view credit card integration in Version 18.

November 12 and December 17: Accepting Credit Cards Webinar

This is our regular monthly webinar on accepting credit cards, but we have transitioned to demonstrating Version 18 and ProPay. We would encourage clients who do not currently accept credit cards to attend this webinar, as we will not be discussing the transition in great detail. Reserve your spot at Tabs3.com/CreditCardWebinar.

December 8: ProPay Transition Webinar

This will be a one-time-only webinar set up for clients and resellers who currently accept credit cards through Tabs3 software. We will discuss the ProPay transition, and answer any questions there may be. You may opt to attend the live webinar, or receive a webinar recording. Reserve your spot at Tabs3.com/ProPayWebinar.
