Although it can be deployed at firms of any size, due to the breadth and depth of functionality, iChannel is best suited for mid-size and large firms.

• Option for hosting, on-premises, or managed server option
• Integrated portal & workflow functionality
• Breadth & depth of CRM functionality
• Single bundle pricing model
• Integration with Windows Active Directory

Potential Limitations:

• Depth of functionality may overwhelm a small practice
• Not part of a suite of accounting, audit & tax applications

Executive Summary & Pricing

If you are looking for a robust DMS solution that is highly configurable and designed to work across the enterprise, then you should take a close look at iChannel. The CRM functionality that provides the foundation for the system may be worth the price alone, especially for firms who want to get a better handle on managing client and contact information.

All of the iChannel applications are bundled for a single price of $540 per user for up to 30 users; volume discounts are provided after that. The annual maintenance fee is 30% in consecutive years.
