Our days seem to be getting busier and time isn't getting any slower.   We fill our calendars to the brim to make sure that we are getting the most out of our day.  Since, nowadays, slowing down or taking a break feels somewhat like a weakness.

But here's a good reminder - slowing down is necessary and productive for your health.

Why go paperless? This is a difficult feat, especially in the profession of law. Why invest in the transition to digital documents when paper documents were still required in many different legal contexts?

Well, here's why.
Getting With the Technical Times:
It is now 2019, there has been progress, and things have changed (for the better). Many lawyers are now required to understand technology, and e-filing is being mandated in many jurisdictions.

I recently found a great article on the transformative effects of small changes and wanted to share some of the points that seemed most important. As well as add a little extra commentary. The Legal Technology article that I am referencing can be found here.

Yesterday we were honored to present at the Dallas ALA Business Partner Expo. We chose a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. The topic of Cybersecurity, as I've said before, is important and often overlooked.

Some of the key points that our CEO, John Alday, and CISO, Alex Morrow, made are listed below.

Cybersecurity is important and Cima will continue shouting that from the rooftops! Jumping right in with some alarming statistics - A Tripwire study centered around 306 IT professionals, in August 2018,  finds that companies are falling short in risk management.

With the amount of content being created and posted on the internet every day,  it is really important for companies to join in on the cyber action. Marketing is about making sure your particular audience sees you, knows what you have to offer, and feels comfortable interacting with whatever you're aiming to sell.

Since the holiday season has come and Christmas day is around the corner, we’ve decided to write a wish list for Santa, documenting what technology trends and improvements lawyers should implement in the new year. If you’re a lawyer, and you need help constructing a list of gifts that benefit you, and your clients, look no further… Cima and Santa have you covered.

Given that Cima’s IT Managed Services works closely with those in the legal industry, I have decided to write about technology trends and certain recommendations that law firms should apply.  While security is top of mind with all of our clients, we find our law firms to be the most diligent.
