The International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) recently released their Executive Summary for the 2019 Technology Survey. While the full survey will not be out until end of October 2019, the summary does a great job of identifying tech challenges faced by the legal industry, in addition to hot spots in the current environment.  To download the survey, click here: bit.ly/ILTAsurvey2019

BMT Summary

The report reflects current challenges we are helping our legal clients overcome. Firms continue to embrace cloud solutions, particularly in the areas of payroll and email solutions. These cloud-based email solutions include: security, archiving and hosting, with 39% of firms migrating to hosted email this year, joining the 33% that are already there.

Windows 10 is being deployed on new equipment at 89% of firms, but Windows 7 is still the primary Operating System at 31% of firms. With support for Windows 7 ending 1/14/2020, we are helping firms close that gap in this final quarter of 2019. Need assistance? Join our complimentary Windows 7 migration webinar.

Finally, we are happy to see 2-Factor Authentication being embraced for remote and cloud access, and ongoing Phishing Tests are being performed by 68% of firms. We’ve been supporting these security initiatives since 2016.
