Legal Extranet Technology Tips

We suggest the following when considering a legal extranet implementation:

• Be sure to select a system with a strong database engine (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.) to support robust requirements and storage needs.
• Be sure the site is encrypted using a SSL certificate.
• Strive for "location", not "per site", licensing. It is probably much cheaper.
• Be sure to ask the software vendor to show you some of the flexibility of the system -- can you add/remove/relocate fields, etc.
• Be sure you understand the primary reason(s) you are implementing the system (case management, document management, calendaring, contact management, etc.) so you can develop an appropriate ROI for an investment in a legal extranet system.
• Be sure to understand the main features and functionality of the legal extranet system you are considering implementing and be sure these are in alignment with your business needs.
