For current Longbow firms

Half your colleagues are already using it.

Longbow One isn't a promise. It's live on Azure with real firms doing real work in it right now — and it runs on the same case data you have today, so the same file numbers, contacts, and history come with you.

~50%

of the people using the Windows app today are already working in Longbow One.

Your data

The same files, the same numbers, the same history. No migration project.

No cutoff

The Windows app keeps running while you move at your own pace.

Nothing gets taken away.

We're not flipping a switch. The Longbow you use today continues to work alongside Longbow One, so there's never a day where your firm can't open a file.
