Knowledgeline: Speaking of mergers.:: by Tom Baldwin

Knowledgeline

Knowledgeline Monday, December 13, 2004 Speaking of mergers. Pretty soon, everything will either be owned by West or Lexis, with Lexis just announcing their buyout of Interface Software today. Forget 31 flavors, well be confronted with the question of Would you like chocolate or vanilla? As a consumer, I have yet to see real benefit come from any of these recent acquisitions and truly question the value they bring to anyone other then the two parties involved.

Knowledgeline: Blawgs v. Traditional E-Newsletters:: by Tom Baldwin

Knowledgeline

Knowledgeline Thursday, October 14, 2004 Blawgs v. Traditional E-Newsletters I recently looked at a product designed for lawyers to start their own blogs, [link] and initially thought it might be a hard sell to larger law firms and that the tool was really more geared towards smaller firms and solo practitioners. But, after looking at how some law firms sends out its newsletters, this quickly became a no brainer (at least to me).

Knowledgeline

Knowledgeline Tuesday, November 30, 2004 Full text searching of iManage or Hummingbird Is it just me, or is it too much to ask that a DMS would actually allow you to do enterprise-wide full text searching without choking? I recently got a demo of iManage v8, which purports to address this issue by taking advantage of the Verity search engine which they use.

Knowledgeline: After Action Reviews:: by Tom Baldwin

Knowledgeline

Knowledgeline Thursday, November 18, 2004 After Action Reviews Every firm should implement After Action Reviews as a tool in which they do business. The concept is relatively simple and easy to implement. Some groups like the United States Army honed it into a science. Wonder how come the Army send Apache helicopters into a n Iraqi city and get them torn up and later bungles an assault into Falluja, but does not repeat that same mistake at a later date?

Knowledgeline Friday, October 22, 2004 Stop-gap disaster recovery for e-mail Very few things come along that are no-brainers as far as technology goes, this product is certainly one of them. Many firms are still trying to figure out what their disaster recovery/business continuity plans will entail. Hundreds of thousands (in some cases millions) of dollars are involved in implementing these systems and it take months to get them on-line.

Knowledgeline Wednesday, December 01, 2004 Hummingbird loses three clients while others progress to rollout While on the topic of DMS, I found this article in the UK magazine, LegalIT, very interesting. That along with numerous posts on various listserves, leads me to believe that Hummingbird is losing marketshare.
