User adoption of firm-wide technology is always a challenge but is extremely important.

Bobby Tindel, VP of Service Delivery at NetDocuments, sat down for a quick interview as part of ALM's LegalTech News series. Bobby discusses topics and trends across the industry, and what he describes as a content management paradigm shift happening across the board. 

NetDocuments is responding to the shift and increased momentum to the cloud with dramatic changes to the the company and technology, including key hires and the acquisition of Decisiv Email from Recommind. These developments continue to position the service as the leading solution for a modern document and email management platform.  

We often speak of using technology in terms of adoption. But, this over-simplifies the experience to nothing more than purchasing a device and plugging it in. For example, how often do we hear of schools that boast of their use of technology by buying an iPad for every student, only to hear that the devices sit on the shelves all day?

Integration is a way of thinking; it implies the development of a culture. It implies that the technology becomes an extension of us – a place that connects our mind with our work. The technology then becomes a tool we habitually turn to when we wish to improve our productivity and learning.
