Hybrid operations are causing FOMO: Fear of the Missing the Office. In this session, CEO Bill Bice and CRO Ken Bassham are joined by CIO Jeffrey Brandt to discuss the critical role integration and automation plays in a firm’s infrastructure and ability to successfully navigate hybrid. We discuss some of the less-talked-about aspects of technology adoption and the role your IT department play in adoption, including:
- If your IT is about plumbing, you’re already out of a job. IT must be strategic and focused on the business and practice of law.
- For example: simple wins, like the integration of desktop scanners into the firms’ infrastructure, can make a big difference.
- User experience (UX) is an under-appreciated element of legal technology. Now that attorneys are using technology directly more than ever, it makes the UX more important now than ever.
- Combining great UX with integration into the firm’s core systems is the best way to increase adoption.
