The winter issue of CIO Connect features Jan Durant, Director of IT at Lewis Silkin LLP, speaking on their strong belief in the potential of secure technology to improve business processes and internal collaboration.
The firm is about to start a pilot in their litigation department with Microsoft SharePoint. In the first stage they are combining an implementation of SharePoint with Workshare's document management solutions. It's an interesting look at the role content and security plays in leading law firms:
"Workshare Professional gives internal security protection, allowing users to compare, control and review documents, and define usage rights which can help prevent unauthorised access to information. Durant recognises that there can be a higher risk of data being accessed by the wrong people as more employees choose to work remotely. Lewis Silkin has, therefore, also deployed Workshare Protect, which provides content analyses, data leak prevention and endpoint security for data sent externally by email or mobile devices such as laptops, USB sticks and PDAs."
