Houdini ESQ
HoudiniESQ is customizable, so customizable in fact that it can sometimes become daunting when thinking about where to start. The key thing to remember is you don't have to get it right the first time. You don't have to complete your customizations in one sitting (although most customizations are done this way). You should approach the customization process gradually allowing your staff to provide input. A Law Practice's workflow starts and ends with its staff, so get them involved early and keep them engaged during the customization process in Houdini.
The act of customizing software is generally viewed as a solitary activity that allows users to express individual preferences. In a study, users at two different research sites, working with two different kinds of customizable software, were found to actively share their customization files with each other. This sharing allowed the members of each organization to establish and perpetuate informally-defined norms of behavior. A small percentage of people within the organization were responsible for most of the sharing. One group of these were highly-skilled software engineers, who were usually the first to try new software. They used customization as a way to experiment with and learn about the software and made their files available to others through various broadcast mechanisms. This group did not try to determine whether their customizations were useful to other users. The second group were less skilled technically but much more interested in interpreting the needs of their colleagues and creating customization files tailored to those needs. They acted as translators between the highly technical group and the rest of the organization. The spontaneous sharing of customization files within an organization has implications for both organizations and for software designers.
Managers should 1) recognize and support the role of translators, 2) recognize that not all sharing is beneficial, and 3) provide opportunities for the exchange of customization files and innovations among members of the organization.
Software designers should 1) provide tools that allow users to evaluate the effectiveness of their customizations through reflective software, 2) provide well-tested examples of customization files with the first release of the software, 3) explicitly support sharing of customizations, and 4) provide tools to support the activities of translators.
