Later in the morning there was a panel comprised of CIO /IT Directors from a range of firms, including Ashurt from the UK.

In a room with well over 100 people, only 3 hands went up when the moderator asked who had 75% or higher of adoption for e-mail filing.

While every firm is grappling with the change in the economy, that certainly hasn't slowed us down with the projects we're undertaking at the firm. The two biggies this year for us are our rollout of FileSite and our intranet project.

For those interested, I am looking to bring in a right hand person to do "km stuff" :) Major initiatives this year include a MOSS rollout , Recommind installation, Interwoven/ MCC deployment and a few other things I could tell you, but then I'd have to. well you know how that goes. UPDATE] A couple of points to address now, based on some of the questions I've gotten: Although I'm based in LA, the preference is to have someone based in either Chicago, NY, DC, PHL, or PIT.
