Document Distribution

Sending out documents via email is passe. It is extra work to address an email, the attachment might not pass through a client's email filter (because of size constraints, virus scans, etc..), and you might mistakenly send it to the wrong person.

Why not use legal extranets to distribute documents.

When you do this, you simply attach a document to the system. The system sends out email to authorized users and is sending only the link (not the file). This addresses all the concerns alluded to in the first paragraph of this posting. Clients then click on a link, sign into the legal extranet, and are directed to the litigation support document which was just added to the system. They can then download it, print it, do whatever they want with it.

And, in the future, the document is always there for future reference, and can be grabbed from any internet connected PC (not only when one is connected to their own email system).

Isn't that easier? Consider using a hosted extranet provider to post and distribute your litigation support documents today.

SSL

When using or deploying a law firm client workspace or legal extranet system, be sure the system is secured with a 128-bit encryption certificate. When secured by SSL, the system URL you use should begin with "https", not "http". Using encryption ensures that your data, when traveling between destinations, is protected in a way that would prevent it being read or viewable should the data packets be compromised.

The Xerdict Group LLC and Method360, Inc. announced today a strategic alliance that brings together Xerdict’s web based collaboration technology and professional services with Method360’s enterprise project management and IT management services.

Furthermore, the union of Method360 and Xerdict will help provide additional delivery mechanisms into the marketplace for Xerdict's leading legal collaboration product, CaseEnsembleTM. And most importantly, for our present and future clients, this new alliance positions both Xerdict and Method360 to expand and grow the set and range of high quality services and products they provide.

"Developing an strong relationship with an elite consulting company such as Method360 illustrates the importance Xerdict places in identifying and partnering with best-in-breed firms as integartion partners for our hosted collaboration products" noted Kenneth Jones, Chief Information Officer of the Xerdict Group LLC.
