Why Office 365 for Legal Firms? The Ideal Cloud Solution for the Legal Industry

The power of working ‘in the cloud’ is revolutionizing how businesses operate by increasing productivity, reducing costs, and enhancing collaboration. Legal firms, in particular, are looking to reduce overhead, increase billable hours, and boost efficiency so their teams can focus more on meeting clients’ needs, maximizing revenue, and securing client referrals.

This is where Office 365 becomes the ideal technology partner for any firm. Cloud-powered Office 365 not only includes the standard office applications like Word and Excel, but also offers enterprise-grade services such as online storage, secure document sharing, real-time co-authoring, and collaboration, along with content, search, and social communication tools.

Why Office 365 for Your Firm?

Secured Enterprise-Grade Cloud Platform

Office 365 is compliant with industry standards and includes built-in capabilities such as permissions, version control, eDiscovery, and records management. These features help legal firms reduce costs and challenges associated with data management and compliance.

Ultimate Mobility – Work from Anywhere, Anytime

Office 365 allows you to access your applications and files from virtually any device, whether it’s a Mac, PC, iPad, tablet, iPhone, or Android smartphone. This mobility ensures that collaboration can take place between teammates, clients, and lawyers from other firms, no matter where they are. For example, RTR, a criminal defense firm in Miami, Florida, switched from a dated workflow of fax machines and couriers to Office 365’s powerful cloud platform, resulting in a 25% increase in productivity.

Store, Access, and Share Securely from Anywhere

With 1TB of cloud storage, OneDrive acts as your online briefcase. You can store and access your documents online or offline and share them securely with internal or external team members. This reduces the time spent searching for documents and cuts down on paper usage, enhancing overall productivity.

Simple Administration and Rock-Solid Security

Office 365 offers a single admin portal to protect your data and control access. Its built-in security features deflect malware, spam, phishing attacks, and other threats, ensuring your team’s data remains secure.

Scale at Your Own Pace

Whether you’re a large firm, a small practice, or a solo practitioner, Office 365 allows you to scale at your own pace. You can opt for a full-scale deployment, a hybrid system, or select services as needed, making it a flexible solution for any legal practice.
