Briefing LITL 2021 partner comment: Investing for the future – More power to productivity in 2021 by Netdocuments
The Briefing Frontiers 2021 Legal IT Landscapes report’s findings suggests that, in spite of disruption caused by Covid-19, productivity has in fact increased. This is coinciding with accelerated migration to the cloud, as law firms have been quick to react and respond to the pandemic, realising the value the cloud can bring to drive greater efficiency.
Law firms are for-profit enterprises. Each must therefore make prudent choices in terms of optimising business processes and technology investments. So, how can law firms continue to unlock productivity gains in 2021?
- Law firms must truly embrace digital – at a simple level this means not calling digital meetings ‘virtual’, and embracing what digital has to offer in terms of human interaction. It also means investing in cloud platforms and the right tools to simplify the user experience, thereby helping to increase engagement by integrating with the day-to-day life of employees and helping them to work natively from applications with which they are familiar. This increases efficiencies and ensures lawyers can work on documents from any location.
- Law firms must enable increased collaboration – lawyers need to be able to manage, collaborate and share content effectively, both internally and externally. By choosing the right cloud platform, lawyers can enhance connectivity and provide a secure location to collaborate and communicate as effectively as they would in the office.
Digital helps business. Inspired solutions help users to be happy and productive. And having
an effective cloud solution will ultimately help to drive growth.
