The July 2009 edition of Texas Bar Journal (Volume 72,7) looks at the “electronic lawyer” - how lawyers are incorporating different technologies, from e-filing and outsourcing to social media and virtual transactions, into their practices - and the effect technology is having on the practice of law. The feature article by Michael D. Bell, Technology and Outsourcing (PDF), examines the selection and use of outside vendors in terms of their cost, strategic, and technology benefits for law firms. Technology integration, data access and sharing, storage, and other considerations are discussed. Integreon’s Tachyon software platform is identified as an example of what clients should be looking for when selecting outside vendors.
