Salt Lake City, UT – NetDocuments, a leading cloud-based document and email management service, today announced its next generation encryption technology with advanced customer key management. The new security architecture includes up to three separate encryption keys for each data file and allows customer firms and corporations to hold and control specific encryption keys relating to sensitive documents or content falling under regulatory, compliance, or client-mandated data governance policies.

We've had an incredible start to 2015! On the heels of a $25M growth capital investment, the recent acquisition of Decisiv Email from Recommind, global office and datacenter expansions, and the onboarding of more Am Law 100 customer firms, it's safe to say, the next big DMS shift is in full swing!

One of the drivers for NetDocuments becoming the leading cloud-based document and email management service, is its people. We continually recruit and hire the best and brightest talent who will help us continue to capture the market as firms are realizing the benefits of security, usability, and productivity by upgrading from their on-premises systems to NetDocuments modern document management in the cloud.

Keynoting the event were leading corporate data security experts speaking on the topics of security and compliance in the legal and professional services industries. Attendees, both NetDocuments current customers and prospective customers, discussed the challenges and opportunities around collaboration to meet the increasing security demands and audit requirements from firms' corporate clients.

 Salt Lake City, UT – Bullivant Houser Bailey PC has chosen NetDocuments to replace iManage for their document and email management system as the firm continues to adapt to technology demands for their growing client base. The firm relies on leading technology to support accelerating growth, so the challenge was to replace their on-premises document management system and find a more scalable solution that would allow them to meet increasing client demands for security, collaboration, and firm-wide productivity. An extensive due diligence process concluded that NetDocuments' modern, cloud-based platform was the solution that would keep the firm on the cutting edge of technology, while continuing to offer world class service to their client base.

The NetDocuments team is in Chicago this week to participate in the 2015 ABA Techshow and is excited to report what the new trends, topics, and overall buzz are this year surrounding legal tech. The sessions focused heavily on cloud security, data protection, virtual practice, and ethical obligations surrounding new and developing technology. The one constant about legal technology is that it evolves year-over-year, which only validates the obligations that firms have to stay current on what clients are expecting in their representations. What we heard from session presenters, and our friends who stopped by the booth, is that there are growing expectations for law firms to upgrade and maintain technology to remain compliant with changing client demands. Below are some of the topics that were discussed today:

Salt Lake City, UT - NetDocuments has just released its marketplace highlighting third-party software and plug-ins that integrate with the leading cloud-based document and email management service.

"The technology ecosystem within a firm comprises many components and applications, and it just makes sense to have them all in one place, accessible to our partners, customers, and development community," Travis Reed, Technology Partnership Manager, stated.

Oftentimes, we forget to value time as we do other goods and services. It is easy to put a cost on technology, but more difficult to monetize the cost that technology saves us in terms of time and productivity.

In terms of technology due diligence, one of the most important steps is to evaluate the level of productivity that the technology will afford, and how it will contribute to the value of your time. Saving time on large projects by cutting corners is an unwinnable strategy, but doing those same tasks efficiently and completely in the same amount of time is smart business. What then needs to be evaluated is how you can leverage technology to save time, thereby saving money. If you find yourself saying multiple times throughout the day, "There has to be a better way to this," there probably is.

The explosion of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) in law firms is creating an environment where policies and procedures need to be adjusted in order to remain compliant and secure. Maintaining an information governance strategy is complicated enough, and throwing in mobile devices creates a new dynamic for content management.
