Technology is forcing organizations of all types to alter the way they do business, and law firms are no exception. Web based tools such as extranets, social networking sites, data leakage, content management and security to name a few, have added sophisticated layers of complexity to the legal industry, which has historically been somewhat lacking technologically.
ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY
A complete records management system is essential for law firms to manage not only their internal documents, but client information related to cases both past and present. The major challenge is finding out where all the electronic documents reside and how to access them. Email archiving ties in well with a firm’s overall document solution and content management system. Citadel provides analysis and best practices solutions for law firms of all sizes to help them establish the procedure and policies needed to create effective electronic discovery and email retention and management policies.
GREEN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
As the cost of energy increases, organizations need to examine how to reduce costs associated not only with energy demands, but also travel, office equipment and technology hardware. Video conferencing and web conferencing can help alleviate these expenses. When integrated properly, video and web conferencing can provide law firms with a client facing experience, all without incurring the charges typically associated with these meetings. Citadel Perimeter has partnered with Webex, Cisco and LifeSize Communications to provide the technology and expertise needed to integrate Green Solutions into an organization's network. Server and desktop virtualization can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, and reduce support, labor and maintenance costs substantially.
