Re: Case Management System RFP
Dear Mike,
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
(“Bozeman CAO”) RFP for a legal case management system. Our team has extensive experience
with offices with both Civil and Criminal Matters at State and City levels. We are also currently
working with several clients to replace their legacy JustWare system and to migrate their data to
our cloud based AdvoLogix solution.
We are actively engaged with The State of Montana Office of Public Defender (“Montana OPD”)
and The State of Montana Department of Justice (“Montana DOJ”) in deployment on
AdvoLogix. (Montana OPD just went live this month and Montana DOJ will be live by the end
of this year.) These are both projects that will be fully completed in a matter of months...not
years. Based on our experience with city, county and state agencies in Arizona, California,
Indiana, Maryland, Montana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, we firmly believe our
platform and capabilities are a great fit for the needs you expressed through your RFP
requirements.
We have made our best efforts to fully respond to your RFP. There is always a process of
evaluating additional information and context beyond the RFP when planning and coordinating
projects with several stakeholder groups, complex business and technical requirements, various
training approaches and potentially multiple change management strategies. Once you have an
opportunity to further understand our product capabilities and implementation decisions, we
will actively collaborate with your team to further refine and evolve the implementation
approach and resource plan. We have included the proposed implementation team and plans
from our trusted partner HIKE2, who is working with us on several relevant implementations
(e.g., both of the State of Montana projects).
AdvoLogix is an extremely secure, scalable and configurable SaaS application. Our solution is a
comprehensive solution and a platform that permits you to make changes and improvements as
your needs evolve. Your investment is protected and not “stuck” or limited by the technology.

Our solution is configurable (does not require technical coding or customization to create
screens, add fields, create workflow, etc.), so it allows you to shape the solution for your specific
needs. AdvoLogix is a comprehensive solution that provides comprehensive legal case, matter
and issue management, stakeholder experiences, dashboards and analytics, forms, engagement
portals, etc. Our solution is designed and capable to meet your immediate and future needs. We
would be pleased to have you meet and learn from our client base and fully participate in our
product roadmap planning as we continue to actively invest in the extension of the platform to
continue its leading position.
We look forward to the opportunity to provide your evaluation team with a formal
demonstration and further discuss your objectives in the near future.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at mcrawford@advologix.com.

Executive Summary
AdvoLogix appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Bozeman CAO RFP for a Case
Management System. It is our understanding that the Bozeman CAO will use this system to
support prosecution, civil litigation and general legal service needs. We are confident our
solutions meets / exceeds the requirements you have provided.
AdvoLogix is an extremely secure, scalable and configurable SaaS application. Our product
provides comprehensive legal case, matter and issue management, stakeholder experiences,
dashboards and analytics, etc. Our solution is designed and capable to meet your immediate
and future needs. Our team also has extensive experience with several agencies at City and State
levels.
All screens, Home Pages, rules, workflow, etc. can be configured and customized to meet the
unique needs of each division, team, etc. Fields and objects can be added as needed.
Workflows, business rules and validation rules can be configured to use branching logic, parallel
processing steps, single and/or tiered approval processes, etc.
One of the many great advantages of our solution is that all of these capabilities are configurable.
It does not require coding or a developer, although certain very complex rules and workflow may
require this. An implementation partner would configure these for you prior to Go Live, and
would also provide system administrator training to your selected team members – enabling you
to manage your own screens, workflows and rules and/or create new ones as your team’s needs
change, processes or legislation changes, etc.
AdvoLogix is proposing an agile implementation approach, which will include all engagement
activities that involve project management, stakeholder alignment, business process
requirements review and definition, solution design, build, testing, training and production
deployment of the solution. This approach enables the Bozeman CAO and AdvoLogix to work
through and agree to the core requirements and design details – and then begin the
development (build phase) with an iterative process of sprinting. The Bozeman CAO will be able
to review and test the progress of the development after each sprint.
This model of design and deployment has proven very successful in supporting Organizational
Change Management needs by involving the team in the solution (having a voice) and having the
users work in the solution early (starting the training and adoption process early). We also
manage the project in the AdvoLogix platform so all designs, user stories, issues and decisions
are transparent (another method we employ to build understanding of the product, dashboards
and reports, and capabilities).

Proposed Approach
AdvoLogix is proposing an implementation approach which will include all engagement
activities that involve project management, stakeholder alignment, business process
requirements review and definition, solution design, build, testing, training and production
deployment of the solution. This is an agile approach that allows the Bozeman CAO and
AdvoLogix to work through and agree to the core requirements and design details – and then
begin the development (build phase) with an iterative process of sprinting. The Bozeman CAO
will be able to review and test the progress of the development after each sprint, which will allow
for adjustments to the project going forward from that point. The following graphic illustrates
the proposed project approach in detail:
Understand
Our design and sprinting or build principles are to use the standard AdvoLogix capability as
much as possible and only use customizations and/or 3rd-party applications in those areas that
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP

are required features and have been mutually determined cannot be met by standard
capabilities.
The functional and technical scope of this Description of Services assumes as much standard
out-of-the-box capabilities of the AdvoLogix platform capability as possible to meet the
requirements. The “Build Assumptions” provided for each functional requirement specify the
limit of the effort to be performed to satisfy the requirement.
We will be configuring AdvoLogix for a set of matter processes as well as migrating the data that
currently exists in the JustWare Prosecutor. Upon completion of this Understand phase,
AdvoLogix will have a set of more detailed User Stories to describe the requirements for review
and approval by the Bozeman CAO. This requirements development and review process is
critical to being able to move forward with design and development of the Acceptance Criteria
necessary for users to subsequently test and accept the solution as designed and delivered.
Pre-Business Requirements Workshop Meeting with Project Stakeholders
▪ Introductions and project governance processes.
▪ Review high-level processes currently in place today.
▪ Identify project participants (business subject matter experts or SMEs) and schedule
availability.
▪ Develop process review sessions calendar and overall project plan.
▪ Develop metrics for project success.
Requirements Workshop
The requirements workshop will consist of detailed requirements review sessions with key
stakeholders as well as the identification of change necessary to enable the new system and
processes to be embraced. AdvoLogix will leverage knowledge and understanding of current
state gained in our initial discovery meetings. The purpose of the process requirements review is
to understand the key business processes and related solutions that have been and may need to
be included in the implementation build. The roles and responsibilities, user profiles and
security model will be validated and refined as well. The Bozeman CAO’s key project
stakeholders should participate in the process review to optimize the system’s configuration and
enable increased overall user adoption.
Ideate
In this Ideate stage, AdvoLogix will identify the AdvoLogix objects, related applications and the
corresponding processes aligned with the entities that must drive the application so the user
interface can be configured accordingly as part of the deployed system. AdvoLogix will employ a

design that uses as much out-of-the-box functionality of AdvoLogix as possible and will revert to
custom development only if needed by business requirements and the Bozeman CAO
stakeholders agree.
The following activities will be performed during the Ideate phase:
▪ User security set-up, considerations and compliance.
▪ AdvoLogix configuration considerations for the Matter Management process and other
functional capability outlined in the Engagement Scope Section.
▪ Identify areas where adoption of industry experience or best practice is appropriate.
▪ Entity and data model validation of required data relationships for needed customization
and data migration.
▪ Technical discussions and design of Integration architecture and plan.
▪ Various considerations for data migration and production cutover to ensure full support of
processes that are being configured/supported by the system upon Go Live.
▪ Requirements will be documented as User Stories and include high level design and
acceptance criteria.
Build
AdvoLogix will lead the Bozeman CAO through an iterative build process culminating in one or
more review sessions of the capability built out during that time. Capabilities to be built during
each cycle will be planned out accordingly and be sequenced if one capability relies upon
another in order to be completed. The Bozeman CAO SMEs and project leadership will be
engaged along the way to participate in the review of capability built during the sprints and to
test and provide feedback on development updates as needed to refine our solution. Our goal
will be to ensure features are adopted by users and to provide the benefit/value impact we have
anticipated at the outset of the project. A diagram that depicts the sprint activities during the
build phase is provided on the next page.

Test
Unit Testing
▪ AdvoLogix will perform unit testing for all configuration and processes.
▪ Unit testing will validate the functional scope and confirm adherence to the requirements as
defined.
▪ Users/SMEs will also be expected to test after each sprint and provide feedback.
User Acceptance Testing
▪ User Acceptance Testing will represent the final round of testing and will include end-to-end

▪ The Bozeman CAO project team members will prepare UAT scripts representative of end-to-
end testing.
▪ The Bozeman CAO project team members will perform the UAT per the prepared scripts in a
timely manner to ensure there is minimal impact to the project schedules.
Data Testing
▪ Data Testing focuses on the quality and accuracy of the Bozeman CAO data that has been
migrated and integrated.
▪ AdvoLogix will perform an initial validation of the migrated/integrated data to ensure the
data mapping and transformation is working as designed.
▪ The Bozeman CAO will be responsible for all aspects of Data Testing as it relates to the
quality and accuracy of the data.
▪ The Bozeman CAO is responsible for all data cleansing and de-duplication related to
ensuring the quality and accuracy of the data.
Testing Approval
Testing is considered complete when:
▪ All approved Test Scripts have been executed.
▪ All critical defects identified by the Bozeman CAO have been provided to AdvoLogix in
writing.
▪ All defects have been addressed and re-testing.
▪ All addressed defects are accepted by the Bozeman CAO.
▪ If there have been no further defects received in writing 5 days from the completion of UAT
and Data Testing, then AdvoLogix will assume testing to be complete and approved.
Data Migration
The Bozeman CAO is responsible for source system data understanding, availability, data
cleanup, data de-duplication, data extraction, data conversion, data validation and the
resolution of data defects (both during the Project and during the Post-Implementation Support
Phase of the Project).
AdvoLogix access to the data source or staging source will be necessary in order to build out the
data migration mapping, transformation and scripting of migration tasks. Current estimates
assume AdvoLogix will load test sample files and then Full Data Set once into the UAT
environment and once into Production.

Project Management and Communication
AdvoLogix and the Bozeman CAO will work together to control and manage scope, schedules
and resources, and to follow project change control processes as required in a timely manner.
We recommend the use of an on-platform tool to manage the project. This tool allows for the
tracking of overall project progress, user stories, open items, issues, blockers, test cases and
decisions.

General and Technical Requirements
Architecture
AdvoLogix is built on and runs on the Salesforce platform, which is known for its industry
leading Platform-As-A-Service capabilities. This provides best in class technology infrastructure
for security, reliability and performance. In addition, it is a platform for “out-of-the-box”
reporting, analytics, mobile access, integrations and a modern ecosystem of add-on /
downloadable capabilities.
AdvoLogix on the Salesforce platform supports the ability to encrypt client data and make it
available without inadvertently accessing another client's data. The architecture provides an
effective logical data separation for different customers via customer-specific "Organization IDs"
and allows the use of customer and user role-based access privileges. Additional data
segregation is ensured by providing separate environments for different functions (e.g., testing
and production).
Please click on the following link for more details: Architecture Overview
Data Center Infrastructure
All AdvoLogix client data is managed through a world-class data center infrastructure. Each
customer's solution is hosted from a primary and secondary production data center, with near
real-time replication occurring between the two sites.
All data centers provide only power, environmental controls, and physical security. Salesforce
employees manage all other aspects of the service at the data centers. Co-location data center
personnel do not have network or logon access to the systems.
Scalability
A solution has good scalability when it performs effectively and remains stable regardless of the
demands on it. This means the solution can handle changes, upgrades, overhauls and resource
reduction without freezing, crashing or UI lags. The solution can also handle the workload of
thousands of users using the solution all at once – viewing, adding and deleting data. How your
data is structured in the solution and how it will be used also impacts scalability.
AdvoLogix understands and addresses scalability challenges through the power of the platform
it is built upon – the Salesforce platform. The platform architecture is constantly monitored to
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP

28
ensure there is enough bandwidth, and allows for the easy addition of database, web and
application servers as needed to accommodate more users, processes, etc.
Security, Compliance & Data Management
AdvoLogix automatically inherits all security, compliance and auditing protocols established by
Salesforce. Independent audits confirm security design and features (see Compliance
Certifications Section). Using the latest firewall protection, intrusion detection systems and TLS
encryption – AdvoLogix gives you the peace of mind only a world-class security infrastructure
can provide.
AdvoLogix does not have access to any customer data, unless the customer specifically gives us
user access to assist with questions, etc.
Protection at the Application Level
Client administrators assign data security rules that determine which data users can access and
how this data can be accessed. Sharing models define company-wide defaults and data access
based on a role hierarchy. Security can be applied at the:
▪ Record level – which matters, documents and other records a user can access and how these
can be accessed.
▪ Screen level – which screens or data on a record can be accessed and how these can be
accessed.
▪ Field level – which fields on a matter or other type of record a user can access and how these
can be accessed.
All data is encrypted in transfer. Data can be encrypted at rest using the Salesforce Shield
Feature (add-on feature). All access is governed by strict password security policies. Multi-
factor authentication can be enabled for additional security. Passwords are hashed with a per-
user salt, using PBKDF2. Applications are continually monitored for security violation attempts.
System activities and events are logged, and audit logs can be reviewed or exported as needed.
Protection at the Network Level
Multi-level security products from leading security vendors and proven security practices ensure
network security. To prevent malicious attacks through unmonitored ports, external firewalls
allow only http and https traffic on ports 80 and 443, along with ICMP traffic. Switches ensure
that the network complies with the RFC 1918 standard, and address translation technologies
further enhance network security. IDS sensors protect all network segments. Internal software
systems are protected by two-factor authentication, along with the extensive use of technology
that controls points of entry. All networks are certified through third-party vulnerability
assessment programs.
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP
AdvoLogix.com LLC Response
29
Protection at the Facilities Level
Security standards are on par with the best civilian data centers in the world, including the
world’s most security-conscious financial institutions. Authorized personnel must pass through
multiple levels of two-factor authentication (including biometrics) to reach the dedicated space
with systems hosting client data. All buildings are completely anonymous, with bullet-resistant
exterior walls and embassy-grade concrete posts and planters around the perimeter. All exterior
entrances feature silent alarm systems that notify law enforcement in the event of suspicion or
intrusion. No media containing client data leaves the data center.
Third-Party Validation
Security is a multi-dimensional business imperative that demands consideration at every level,
from security for applications to physical facilities and network security. In addition to the latest
technologies, world-class security requires ongoing adherence to best-practice policies. To
ensure this adherence, third-party certification is continually obtained, including ISO 27001,
PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and SOC 1 (SSAE 18) and SOC 2 Type II audits. Third parties also conduct
periodic vulnerability scans and penetration testing.
Please click on the following link for more details: External Security Assessments
Compliance Certifications
AdvoLogix inherits all Salesforce compliance certifications, and meets all compliance standards
and regulations – including the following:
▪ HIPAA
▪ C5 (ISAE 3000)
▪ DoD IL2 and DoD IL4
▪ FedRAMP
▪ CJIS
▪ GDPR
▪ ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018
▪ NIST SP 800-171

Data Backup
At any given time, your AdvoLogix instance is actively served from one location with
transactions replicated in near real-time to a completely redundant and geographically diverse
secondary location. Each location can be considered a complete backup (files and data) of the
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP
AdvoLogix.com LLC Response
30
other. This approach supports Salesforce’s ability to provide a seamless customer experience
while working on site maintenance, compliance and disaster recovery items.
We also strongly recommend that clients regularly back up their own files and data to their own
server or other location to address other potential issues such as accidental client user data
deletion, a need to roll back to a particular point in time due to a third-party software update or
custom coding issue the client is trying to address, etc. Clients can choose to set up a completely
automated process for periodic data backups through third-party apps or scripts.
There is also a defined process for a client’s system administrator to set a schedule for
automatically copying all files and data for backup purposes to a zip file that can be saved to a
hard drive, server, etc. Clients can choose a full backup and/or a backup of certain objects with
associated files. The schedule can be set for as often as once a week. Each table that is copied is
saved in a separate .csv file.
Disaster Recovery
AdvoLogix automatically inherits all the disaster recovery protocols established by Salesforce.
Salesforce has developed a global Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Program, hired
Certified Business Continuity Planners (“CBCP”) and retained the services of leading consultants
to assist in the ongoing development of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans and
procedures. This program is overseen by senior management for each of the key functional
areas within Salesforce and is supported by executive leadership at the highest level.
A global Crisis Management Team (“CMT”) comprised of select executives from key
departments manages this process. The CMT is mobilized when a crisis or significant event
occurs and is responsible for evaluating the situation and responding accordingly. Depending
on the severity and nature of an incident, the CMT Leader may request engagement from
various support teams to assist with mitigation of the incident. The CMT meets periodically for
training, education and review of the documented CMT Action Guide, or as required due to a
crisis or significant event. CMT members have specified roles and responsibilities and are
available 24/7/365. The CMT conducts table-top exercises, at a minimum of once annually.
Salesforce maintains a Mirror Site that is a 100% staged warm site with block-level data
replication. The secondary data center is replicated at 100% of capacity (host, network, and
storage) of the Production data center. As part of developing a viable Disaster Recovery plan
and program, Salesforce schedules Disaster Recovery exercises which are conducted several
times per year.
Additionally, disaster communication processes are exercised using the mass notification system
during each exercise, which includes call outs with response requests to the Crisis Management

Team and the Production Disaster Recovery Teams. The disaster recovery plan is tested at a
minimum on an annual basis and will continue to enhance and develop processes and its
technology related to disaster recovery to further reduce RPOs and RTOs. Additional
procedures, processes and plans have been developed, including a Pandemic plan. The DR/BCP
Plan Summary and recent DR post-mortem can be provided to customers under NDA/MSA
upon request.

Case/Matter Management Features
Search & Query
AdvoLogix enables users to search every record with keywords, Boolean searching, wildcards
and search operators. Files and data accessible via an integration with AdvoLogix can also be
searched (e.g., an integrated document management solution). Users can also save search
criteria to create list views that can be re-used and shared with other team members.
Clients can query data in AdvoLogix using SOQL SELECT statements similar to those used in
SQL to query the data. The Salesforce platform also provides an online tool called Workbench
that can be used to easily create SOQL queries.
Creating Screens & Workflow for Your Unique Needs
All screens, Home Pages, rules, workflow, etc. can be configured and customized to meet the
unique needs of each division, team, etc. Fields and objects can be added as needed. As a
general rule, you can add up to 500+ custom fields per object. You can also add 200 – 2000
custom objects, depending on the solution your team chooses. Security can be enforced down to
the field level, so users who can see a certain screen may only see or edit certain fields on that
screen – depending on your needs. Business rules, validation rules, workflow, alerts and
notifications can be applied to any object - including approvals and tasks - based on business
unit, practice area, matter type, matter subtype and other criteria. Workflows, business rules
and validation rules can be configured to use branching logic, parallel processing steps, single
and/or tiered approval processes, etc.
One of the many great advantages of our solution is that all of these capabilities are configurable.
It does not require coding or a developer, although certain very complex rules and workflow may
require this. An implementation partner would configure these for you prior to Go Live, and
would also provide system administrator training to your selected team members – enabling you
to manage your own workflows and rules and/or create new ones as your team’s needs change,
processes or legislation changes, etc.

Minimize Duplicate & Redundant Data Entry
The ability to identify potential duplicate data entry for individuals or entities is standard out-of-
the-box functionality, along with the ability to merge duplicate records. Additional data rules
can be easily configured to support more advanced duplicate data validation processes.
AdvoLogix enables clients to streamline processes and in turn limit or eliminate
redundant data entry. Case intake and other data entry processes can be configured
within AdvoLogix to streamline data entry. AdvoLogix can also be integrated with other
agency systems such as police department and court systems to obtain data that has
already been entered into these systems and auto-create new records and/or update
existing records within AdvoLogix.
Home Page
The AdvoLogix Home Page can be configured based on a user’s Role or Profile, and
organizations can have different Home Pages for different types of users. The Home Page can
also be configured to display those items most relevant to each user, including but not limited to
the following:
▪ Dashboards.
▪ User’s calendar, checklists and outstanding tasks.
▪ Recent records reviewed by the user.
▪ Messages and notifications.
▪ Items awaiting approval.
▪ Pending legal hold acknowledgements.

Case Intake
The AdvoLogix Intake functionality allows organizations to create customized intake forms for a
variety of use cases and business processes. An important feature of the intake system allows
organizations to design a user experience capable of collecting multiple data elements within a
single intake session. Intake forms can be set up on an internal or external portal, and clients
can create different intake forms to support different types of requests. Workflow and
notifications can be incorporated to further streamline and automate the process.
Case Summary Screen
AdvoLogix provides users with easy one-click access to every aspect of a case – details,
documents, events via the calendar, tasks/checklists, timeline, participants, notes, reserves,
related cases, etc.
Case Summary Screen Example
Case Timeline
The AdvoLogix Matter Timeline feature displays a consolidated list of matter-related
information from several areas of the application – tasks, events, emails, documents, status
updates, etc. – to provide a comprehensive view of every activity that has occurred in relation to
the matter. The Matter Timeline can be customized to display information based on your
AdvoLogix Timeline setup options. Data viewed using the Matter Timeline is also searchable.

Case Hierarchy
Case hierarchy can be used to manage case relationships, associated customers or partners,
account and contact relationships across related cases, etc. AdvoLogix uses several approaches
to support case hierarchy management. Our case hierarchy relationship tree can be viewed from
any case to show grandparent/parent/child relationships and other types of relationships such
as cases arising out of the same incident. These relationships can also be viewed from any case
using our Cross-Reference Cases Object.

Experience Sites. These Sites are a great way to share information and collaborate with people
who are key to your business processes – employees, clients, outside counsel partners, etc.
Experience Sites can be used to manage partner and customer relationships, internal and
external content management, B2B Commerce, etc. Experience Sites share the same security
protocols that are available within AdvoLogix.

Account & Contact Management
Accounts (organizations, departments, etc.) and Contacts (people) provide the core
requirements for maintaining information related to the various entities in which an
organization maintains a relationship.
The Account record allows your organization to collect information about the organizations with
which your team interacts. The Account record helps support other records (cases, contacts,
activities, etc.) that collectively give your organization a 360° view of your relationships.
Common Account relationships might include clients, courts, medical facilities, and insurance
companies. If an organization serves multiple locations or divisions, you may choose to use
Account hierarchies. In AdvoLogix, you can link multiple offices (of an organization) by using
the Parent Account field on the Account record.
The Contact record allows your organization to collect information about the people with whom
your organization interacts. The Contact record helps support (and is supported by) other
records (cases, accounts, activities, etc.) Contacts may optionally be assigned to an Account
which provides relevant business hierarchy for Contacts within organizations. Common Contact
relationships might include outside counsel, judges, witnesses, expert witnesses and
consultants. Addresses, phone numbers, relationships, etc. can all be tracked for each Contact.
Contact information for victims and witnesses can also be managed through Contact records
that are linked to the appropriate case records, with the ability to easily track multiple phone
numbers, addresses, aliases, etc. – along with confidential information such as date of birth,
social security number, victim and/or family relationships, etc. Victim restitution information
can be easily tracked and associated with both the appropriate cases and victim.

Case Participant Management
A participant can be an account, contact, internal user or other entity that is related to a matter
based on the participant’s role. By appropriately managing participants, organizations can
easily identify the variety of business relationships among the entities with whom they conduct
business.
The participant feature enables users to manage an unlimited number of accounts, contacts,
internal users or other entities on a matter. Participants can be added to matters manually and
automatically. Participants can also be viewed from a list view or map view, and these views can
be filtered by participant type or role. The AdvoLogix Participation Map View enables users to
graphically see the participants on a matter – along with their association with other matters.

Calendar & Task Management
Dates, appointments, notes, status updates, tasks, meetings and other events throughout the life
cycle of a case are easily tracked within AdvoLogix and easily accessed by users via one-click.
An individual user’s calendar view can be accessed from the Navigation Bar, although many
clients like to make it more easily available on the user’s Home Page. A practice area or team
calendar can be easily accessed by clicking on the Calendar Menu on the Navigation Bar. A case-
specific calendar can be accessed by clicking on the Calendar Tab when viewing the case record
or Case Summary view.
One of the great features our calendars provide is the ability for each user to determine what
views and filters are most effective for the user’s specific needs. Users can set their calendar
views for monthly or weekly views, with multiple weekly view options. Filters can be set to show
items such as tasks and events, with additional filter options based on event type, case type,
user, etc. Whatever view and filters a user sets for their calendars persist until the user changes
them.

Case Task Checklist
The Task Checklist feature enables users to easily manage case-related tasks. Tasks can be
grouped in a variety of ways with several filter options. The user experience also provides the
capability to quickly edit tasks without opening additional forms.
If your team has processes they follow – based on case type, the stage of the case or other criteria
– these processes can be automatically applied to the case upon case creation, a change in the
stage of the case, an update to a particular field and other triggers using workflow.
Case Task Checklist Tab Example
Outlook Integration
Salesforce Inbox and Einstein Activity Capture can be easily installed to support full integration
with Outlook – including the ability to link emails to a case, and sync events, tasks and contacts
with a one-way or two-way sync. There are also other third-party solutions that can be installed
to support these features, such as Revenue Inbox.
Case Notes
Case notes can be configured to support both general and private notes. Security can be defined so that
general notes are accessible by all or some team members who have access to the case, whereas private
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP
AdvoLogix.com LLC Response
41
notes can be secured so that only the note creator can access them or perhaps only the note creator and a
supervisor can access them. Business rules can also be defined so that certain notes cannot be edited.
Document Management
Our document management functionality relates documents to cases, accounts, contacts or
discussion threads. This functionality includes managing basic document metadata,
maintaining multiple versions, tracking user views and downloads, secure access, managing user
access (e.g., read-only access vs. edit and delete access), etc.
Documents can be categorized and previewed. All searchable documents (e.g., searchable PDF,
Word, Excel, .PPT) and document descriptions are searchable, so files such as JPEGs or video
can still be searchable using keywords or tags in description/category fields. This includes any
documents or files that reside in an integrated document management solution.
Documents can be emailed directly from a case, account, contact or other record. Documents
can also be made accessible to other agencies via a web portal or an integration. Virtually all file
types are supported. AdvoLogix supports a paperless environment.
AdvoLogix also integrated with many dedicated document management solutions such as
SharePoint, iManage, Box, NetDocuments and others.
Forms & Document Generation Management
Users can create forms or and documents using our AdvoDoc feature. Templates are created
with our built-in document designer, enabling data fields and related lists to be merged with
pre-designed templates. Documents are automatically associated with the matter, account or
contact for which the document was created.
For complex document generation that requires pulling fields 4 levels or more from the
originating record, AdvoLogix also integrates with many dedicated document
assembly/automation systems such as HotDocs, XpressDox, Conga, Nintex Drawloop and
others.
Features such as the ability to scan and OCR all document formats saved in the system can be
added by installing a third-party solution.
Records & Archive Management
Closed files can be archived using different approaches. For example, business rules and
processes can be defined so files (including all data and documents) that have been closed for
more than 5 years are electronically moved to a separate digital location, with additional rules
set up to automatically delete files older than a certain time period – based on your
organization’s retention policies. We can work with your team to define and develop the best
approach to meet your business needs.

Legal Hold
Our built-in Legal Hold functionality assists organizations with the process of hold
acknowledgement and matter-related data preservation. Organizations can centrally manage
legal hold acknowledgement activity across all matters. These acknowledgements are tracked by
AdvoLogix for the life of the matter.
The ability to place a matter on legal hold or to remove a legal hold can be secured based on user
profiles and other security protocols. Matters on legal hold are clearly labeled. Documents and
other records related to a matter on legal hold are tagged with a legal hold designation. Pre-
defined restrictions prevent matter-related data from being deleted from AdvoLogix.
Organizations can fine-tune these restrictions.
Users identified as legal hold notification recipients receive an email notification with a link to
acknowledge the notification. User Home Pages can also be set up so that Pending Legal Hold
Acknowledgements are clearly seen each time the user logs into AdvoLogix or goes to their
Home Page. Reminders can be automatically sent to users who do not acknowledge a legal hold
notification in a timely manner.
Discovery Management
Discovery management features such as electronically recording receipt and processing of
discovery requests, indexing, redacting and Bates stamping can be added by integrating
AdvoLogix with a robust third-party discovery management solution such as Relativity, Encase,
Exterro, OpenText and others.
Reports, Dashboards & Analytics
AdvoLogix is built on the Salesforce platform and inherits all the reporting functionality
provided by Salesforce. An independent survey of more than 4,000 Salesforce customers found
that customers were able to cut the time needed to prepare reports by an average of 52 percent.
Our solution provides 54 out-of-the-box reports and 3 dashboards.
Case, section, name, calendar, statistical, performance measurement, system, audit and other
types of reports can be easily created to support your team’s business needs. Our
implementation teams have created reports for many government agencies to manage criminal,
civil, claims and general legal matter reports. We will work with your team to create any needed
reports, while also training your team how to edit these and create their own reports.

Attachment C – Cloud Questionnaire
Cloud Services Questions
1. Service levels: What level of service should we expect? What is the City’s recourse for
excessive downtime? Refund of percentage of monthly fee?
AdvoLogix is built and runs on the Salesforce platform, which has a proven 99.9+ percent
uptime record. To ensure maximum uptime and continuous availability, the Salesforce
platform provides redundant data protection and the most advanced facilities protection
available, along with a complete data recovery plan. Online maintenance for AdvoLogix is
controlled by the Salesforce platform.
There is no downtime during a standard system maintenance window or update. There are
occasions when a 4-hour window is needed for certain system maintenance. Clients are
provided advance notice regarding these windows, which are always slated to occur during
off-hours for the time zone being impacted (e.g., 12 am – 4 am or 2 am – 6 am, and generally
on a Sunday morning).
2. Data ownership: Who owns the data we provide and what can be done with the data?
Clients own their data and can access, copy or export it at any time. AdvoLogix does not have
access to any customer data, unless the customer specifically gives us user access to assist
with questions, etc.
3. Data security: How secure is our data and how is it being kept secure?
a. If this is a multi-tenant environment on the same hardware how is our data kept separate
and secure from other customers, including any PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
that may be gathered?
AdvoLogix is built on the Salesforce multi-tenant platform, which supports the ability to
encrypt client data and make it available without inadvertently accessing another client's
data. The architecture provides an effective logical data separation for different
customers via customer-specific "Organization IDs" and allows the use of customer and
user role-based access privileges. Additional data segregation is ensured by providing
separate environments for different functions (e.g., testing and production).

46
b. If PII is gathered, is it encrypted in transit and at rest?
All data is encrypted in transfer. Data can be encrypted at rest using the Salesforce Shield
Feature (add-on feature). All access is governed by strict password security policies.
Multi-factor authentication can be enabled for additional security. Passwords are hashed
with a per-user salt, using PBKDF2. Applications are continually monitored for security
violation attempts. System activities and events are logged, and audit logs can be
reviewed or exported as needed.
c. If credit card transactions are occurring is your system fully PCI compliant?
AdvoLogix inherits all Salesforce compliance certifications and is fully PCI DSS
compliant.
4. Data integrity: What do you do as a vendor to ensure our data maintains its integrity?
AdvoLogix provides clients with data integrity best practices.
Data Security
Using the latest firewall protection, intrusion detection systems and TLS encryption –
AdvoLogix gives you the peace of mind only a world-class security infrastructure can provide.
Protection at the Application Level
Client administrators assign data security rules that determine which data users can access
and how this data can be accessed. Sharing models define company-wide defaults and data
access based on a role hierarchy. Security can be applied at the:
▪ Record level – which matters, documents and other records a user can access and how
these can be accessed.
▪ Screen level – which screens or data on a record can be accessed and how these can be
accessed.
▪ Field level – which fields on a matter or other type of record a user can access and how
these can be accessed.
All data is encrypted in transfer. Data can be encrypted at rest using the Salesforce Shield
Feature (add-on feature). All access is governed by strict password security policies. Multi-
factor authentication can be enabled for additional security. Passwords are hashed with a
per-user salt, using PBKDF2. Applications are continually monitored for security violation
attempts. System activities and events are logged, and audit logs can be reviewed or
exported as needed.

Protection at the Network Level
Multi-level security products from leading security vendors and proven security practices
ensure network security. To prevent malicious attacks through unmonitored ports, external
firewalls allow only http and https traffic on ports 80 and 443, along with ICMP traffic.
Switches ensure that the network complies with the RFC 1918 standard, and address
translation technologies further enhance network security. IDS sensors protect all network
segments. Internal software systems are protected by two-factor authentication, along with
the extensive use of technology that controls points of entry. All networks are certified
through third-party vulnerability assessment programs.
Protection at the Facilities Level
Security standards are on par with the best civilian data centers in the world, including the
world’s most security-conscious financial institutions. Authorized personnel must pass
through multiple levels of two-factor authentication (including biometrics) to reach the
dedicated space with systems hosting client data. All buildings are completely anonymous,
with bullet-resistant exterior walls and embassy-grade concrete posts and planters around
the perimeter. All exterior entrances feature silent alarm systems that notify law
enforcement in the event of suspicion or intrusion. No media containing client data leaves
the data center.
Third-Party Validation
Security is a multi-dimensional business imperative that demands consideration at every
level, from security for applications to physical facilities and network security. In addition to
the latest technologies, world-class security requires ongoing adherence to best-practice
policies. To ensure this adherence, third-party certification is continually obtained,
including ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, and SOC 1 (SSAE 18) and SOC 2 Type II audits.
Third parties also conduct periodic vulnerability scans and penetration testing.
Data Backup & Replication
At any given time, your AdvoLogix instance is actively served from one location with
transactions replicated in near real-time to a completely redundant and geographically
diverse secondary location. Each location can be considered a complete backup (files and
data) of the other. Customer data (up to the last committed transaction) is replicated from
the primary to the secondary data center in near real-time. Replication of the data is
transmitted over an encrypted network (10 Gigabit WAVE network with inline high speed
ethernet encryptors).
In addition, backups are performed daily at each data center facility and copies are retained
for 90 days (30 days for sandbox instances). Standard processes are designed so deleted or
modified data cannot be recovered after 90 days (30 days for sandbox instances). Backup
Bozeman City Attorney’s Office
Case Management System RFP
AdvoLogix.com LLC Response
48
media never leaves our secure data center facilities unless they are to be retired and
destroyed through a secure destruction process.
We also strongly recommend that clients regularly back up their own files and data to their
own server or other location to address other potential issues such as accidental user data
deletion by a client user or system administrator, a need to roll back to a particular point in
time due to a third-party software update or custom coding issue the client is trying to
address, etc. Clients can choose to set up a completely automated process for periodic data
backups through third-party apps or scripts.
There is also a defined process for a client’s system administrator to set a schedule for
automatically copying all files and data for backup purposes to a zip file that can be saved to
a hard drive, server, etc. Clients can choose a full backup and/or a backup of certain objects
with associated files. The schedule can be set for as often as once a week. Each table that is
copied is saved in a separate .csv file.
AdvoLogix does not have access to any customer data, unless the customer specifically gives
us user access to assist with questions, etc.
Disaster Recovery
AdvoLogix automatically inherits all the disaster recovery protocols established by
Salesforce. Salesforce has developed a global Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Program, hired Certified Business Continuity Planners (“CBCP”) and retained the services of
leading consultants to assist in the ongoing development of Business Continuity and Disaster
Recovery plans and procedures. Salesforce maintains a Mirror Site that is a 100% staged
warm site with block-level data replication. The secondary data center is replicated at 100%
of capacity (host, network, and storage) of the Production data center. Salesforce schedules
Disaster Recovery exercises which are conducted several times per year.
Duplicate Data & Validation Rules
The ability to identify potential duplicate data entry for individuals or entities is standard
out-of-the-box functionality, along with the ability to merge duplicate records. Additional
data rules can be easily configured to support more advanced duplicate data validation
processes. Validation rules and required fields can be used to ensure the appropriate data is
being entered at different points in time (e.g., initial case creation, case closing, etc.)

5. We require data centers to be located in the United States: What country will our
data be located in?
All AdvoLogix client data is managed through a world-class data center infrastructure. Each
customer's solution is hosted from a primary and secondary production data center, with
near real-time replication occurring between the two sites. A given customer's data will be
stored in 2 of these co-located data centers, with one acting as the primary location and the
other as the fully redundant secondary site. Data centers for government agencies
will be located within the U.S. and adhere to FEDRAMP standards.
6. Responding to legal demands to disclose data: What is your process when someone
subpoenas or requests our data from you as a vendor?
AdvoLogix does not have access to any customer data, unless the customer specifically gives
us user access to assist with questions, etc. We would refer any subpoenas or requests for
data to you.
7. Reporting: What is your protocol for data breaches?
Weak or re-used passwords are often the weakest link cyber attackers love to exploit.
Enabling multi-factor authentication is one of the easiest, most effective actions businesses
can take to secure their data against the majority of common cyberattacks. Beginning
February 1, 2022, AdvoLogix will require all clients to use multi-factor authentication.
AdvoLogix inherits all data breach protocols from the Salesforce platform, including review
of potential data breaches, notifying clients regarding potential data breaches, etc.
8. Disaster recovery: What protections/protocols do you have in place to mitigate disasters?
AdvoLogix automatically inherits all the disaster recovery protocols established by
Salesforce. Salesforce has developed a global Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Program, hired Certified Business Continuity Planners (“CBCP”) and retained the services of
leading consultants to assist in the ongoing development of Business Continuity and Disaster
Recovery plans and procedures. Salesforce maintains a Mirror Site that is a 100% staged
warm site with block-level data replication. The secondary data center is replicated at 100%

9. Business continuity: If you decide to bring your business to an end what happens to our
data?
Clients have access to their data at all times and can copy, backup or export their data at any
time. Should AdvoLogix choose to bring our business to an end, we would notify all clients in
advance and provide guidance on backing up and exporting all data.
10. Termination rights and consequences: What is your termination policy both for you as
a vendor and us as a customer?
Either party may terminate for cause: (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a
material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, or (ii) if the
other party becomes insolvent or ceases to do business. Upon any termination for cause by a
client, AdvoLogix shall refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all
subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by
AdvoLogix, the client shall pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all
Service Order Forms after the effective date of termination.
11. Exit: If we exit our relationship what format can we get our data in and what assistance will
you give us in transferring our data to us in a usable format?
Clients have access to their data at all times and can copy, backup or export their data at any
time. AdvoLogix does not have access to any customer data, unless the customer specifically
gives us user access to assist with questions, etc.
