About Rafte & Company | Our History
Established in 1983, Rafte & Company specializes in helping law firms and professional service firms achieve their goals through the use of strategic technology solutions and the optimization of business processes.
Rafte & Company's expert consultants work with each client to utilize appropriate technology and help them evolve into the firm of tomorrow.
Personal computers were just beginning to be adopted by innovative law firms when Dena Rafte established Rafte & Company to meet the technology needs of the legal industry in Houston, Texas. Even though IT networks were rare at the time, Rafte & Company's services focused on bringing law firm staffers together.
Initially, Rafte & Company concentrated on legal back office needs, improving legal billing and accounting processes. As technology moved beyond administrative functions and crude database applications to the professional staff, it became clear that the real value to law firms would be using information systems and integrated processes to share information and manage the day-to-day casework.
In the decades since, Rafte & Company has evolved into a full-service business and technology consulting organization that helps legal and professional service firms bridge the gap between the special needs of the firm and the improved efficiencies made possible by technology. With the advent of cloud computing, remote collaboration and hosted services; Rafte & Company is always seeking proven technologies that help clients realize increased productivity and profitablity.
While supporting the operational needs of local Houston firms, Rafte & Company also serves regional firms in Austin, San Antonio, and New Orleans by offering high level consulting solutions in the areas of knowledge management through workflow improvement, process alignment, and technology optimization.
