  3. Our Session Objectives • Learn how to begin using SharePoint as the information management platform for your firm • Understand the tools and techniques for integrating internal and external sources of content in your SharePoint portal • See how other firms are using SharePoint to aggregate and deliver targeted information to lawyers and staff

  5. The Problem • Most firms have hundreds of applications and information sources • IT has to support them • Lawyers and staff must know how to use them • The volume of internal and external information will grow exponentially • The problem gets worse every day

  6. The Results • Lack of access to information leads to: • Loss of productivity and efficiency • Poor reuse of information, knowledge and expertise • Lost opportunities • Decreased client service • Loss of billable hours • 1 hour per month x 500 attorneys x $250/hr= $1,500,000 of billable time

  7. The Solution – Effective IM • Firms must take control of their information • Require technology to manage and distribute a law firm’s information assets • Need an intelligent layer on top of current systems, not necessarily replacements • Must integrate, secure, index, categorize and organize content from multiple sources • Solution must be simple, easy to maintain, user-centric and part of daily practice

  8. SharePoint as an IM Platform

  9. Content Integration • Leverage information in business systems • DMS • Practice Management / T&B • CRM • Other systems • Incorporate external content • RSS / News • Subscription services • Other web resources

  10. 5 Rules for Portal Content • Real-time • Relevant • Categorized (by practice, department, office, etc.) • Targeted (by user) • Prioritized / highlighted (by importance, by timeliness)

  11. The Portal Application • An approach to integrate content in contextually relevant ways • “My Stuff” • “My Colleague’s Stuff” • “Client Stuff” • “Matter Stuff” • “Practice Stuff” • “Office Stuff” • Etc.

  12. Portal Application Example 1

  13. Portal Application Example 2

  14. Content Targeting • Deliver content to the right people at the right time • More important than “personalization” • Target by: • User / Timekeeper • Role / status in the firm • Memberships (formal and informal) • Date and priority • Location in the portal site

  15. Content Targeting Example 1

  16. Content Targeting Example 2

  17. Content Design • Need to define • The purpose of each site/page in the portal • What content you have (or want) to deliver • Where that content will be delivered in the portal • Targeting rules and constraints • How disparate content will be “tied” together • Visual Design and usability of information is as important as the information itself
