Description
The reliability and ease of BlackBerry® E-mail is now extended to time and expense billing with mTEM which provides accurate activity billing and reduces time wasted on completing time sheets.
mTEM (mobile Time Expense Management) powered by mAXBridge™ provides accurate time recording of meetings, phone calls and other billable activities. The solution converts the BlackBerry® into an intelligent timing device which automatically creates timers for activities or tasks including incoming and outgoing calls and BlackBerry® calendar entries. At the end of a day or week, users can view all the generated timers to check their daily 'Timesheet' before submitting it to the office.
BlackBerry® devices are becoming increasingly popular amongst legal professionals.
However, until now, there has been no intelligent solution that allows users to submit timesheets from the BlackBerry®. This has been addressed by mTEM so that any tasks which have been recorded using a desk based PC are sent and can be viewed on the Blackberry® before submitting the day's billed time if users are out of the office at the end of the day.
