This past week members sought advice on deploying Windows 10, billing for litigation support and more. Explore curated sources on these topics including some from ILTA’s treasure chest.
Windows 10 Deployment
At ILTACON 2015 with sessions like “Are You Ready for Windows 10?” and “A Bird’s-Eye View into Windows 10,”we all wondered how a Windows 10 deployment would work but most had not taken on this endeavor. Six months later more organizations have taken the plunge into a Windows 10 deployment. You can register for an upcoming virtual ILTA session presented by Kraft Kennedy, “Product Briefing – Windows 10 Update.” For the perspective outside of legal, “Seven Must-Read Windows 10 Deployment Tips for Net Admins” and news on the U.S. Department of Defense’s plans for deployment.
Billing for Litigation Support, Heck Yeah/No!
Regardless of an organization’s practice to bill for litigation support or not, the organization must strive for efficiency while maintaining excellence. Ensure your organization is in line with these practices with the ILTA webinar Practice Economics 101 for Litigation/Practice Support Professionals. ILTA volunteer, Cindy MacBean, provided a summary of a teleforum on E-Discovery ROI from December 2015 to also provide input on billing, pricing and effectiveness. Billing for any service requires care and consideration. Before implementing a new billing strategy, consider the ILTACON 2015 session “Implementing Business Practices That Foster Shared Interests” and Tabs3 articles “Top Six Reports We Recommend to Every Attorney” and “The #1 Billing Mistake Attorneys Make.”
SOMETHING EXTRA – Courtroom Technology Best Practices, PACER Pain Points and Protection Against Phishing
ILTA volunteer, Julie Ruse, wrote a terrific piece on courtroom technology best practices. See “Red Vines to Routers: Supporting Litigation Teams in the Trenches” before your next courtroom date.
