Hi Niki – good stuff on your site. I have a request for guidance from your perspective. What’s commonly referred to a 2-Factor Authentication, using something your know (your password) and something you have (finger-scan, or a token that produces an access code) is getting really popular in all markets – healthcare, legal, SLED, FED, DoD etc. As a market leading provider of this technology, how would I locate Integrators/VARs who work closely with Law firms large and small to provide eSecurity technology? Is there a directory that Law offices can browse for local or long established providers? Im not member of th e Bar but we have many many law firms under contract to provide on site (self-hosted)Authentication, and now we wish to announce our cloud-based solution as part of our Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering. Can you kindly offer guidance on where to look to establish contacts and maybe to Post who we are & what we do? Thanks a bunch, Tom Oertel / VASCO Data Security http://www.vasco.com 508.683.8584

Trialpad app is available on the App Store. It is a trial presentation program that lets you store your documents in PDF’s in a client file on the IPad. You can select the document, mark it up and then show it on a screen via a projector.

Comment on Seeking feedback for my upcoming book about cloud computing for lawyers by John James O'Brien

Niki, good luck with the book. A suggestion from my perspective mirrors an earlier response, that is, to address or at least point to client management of the cloud.

I have client experience of legal practitioners’ grasp of record keeping and management reality and it is not pretty. What saves the client’s bacon, it seems, may be the opposing counsels’ equal ignorance and, sometimes, the client (groups) dawning awareness of that and a certain pressure to stay silent or the costs of litigation will go even higher. The result is not in the interest of anyone, so I feel that your work could illuminate an important area if it delves into records management realities off the cloud and then how the cloud adds complexity and opportunity. IMO, it is the responsibility of the legal community to ask informed questions of the client in this regard both for self-protection and for a just representation.

Comment on More new iPhone apps for lawyers by Dave Gardner

Dave Gardner — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:30:15 +0000

There are more and more integration applications and features appearing daily. Just as an example, our product LAWS/Pro, seamlessly synchronizes calendars between the application and mobile devices such as iPhone. From the phone you can schedule appointments and associate them with a specific client and matter so the time can be billed. There are also several Web Folder or WebDAV applications available that allow you to view documents stored in the LAWS/Pro repository directly on your phone. With these you can instantly pull up client invoices, documents, etc. We are also working to integrate contact management, conflict search and many other features of our LAWS/Pro product with mobile platforms. At DTBusiness we feel that mobile device integration, such as that for the iPhone, will be a key component as software moves forward. Your iPhone may very well become your office in the future.

Indeed you must ask the hard questions and get good answers. As a IT consultant for over 30 years, I find that “legit” SaaS providers far surpass the data security most firms have in place on their own. From unreliable, untested backups to free access to servers and data, most firms can greatly enhance their redundancy, reliability and performance by using a cloud provider. Couple that with a cloud provider that delivers exceptional service and has very happy custoemrs and you have a winning deal for everyone.

Hi Jack,

You’d need to upload the article somewhere online–maybe via JDSupra ( http://www.jdsupra.com), which is free. Then post a link to the online file at JDSupra via a tweet.
