When we initially implemented SharePoint, our legal department wanted
nothing to do with it. Basically, they had a fear of the "intranet"
and was entrenched in a filing system on a network drive. Well, we've
had a few new hires in that area and they are use to a Document
Management System (like Documentum). As such, there is a growing
interest in using SharePoint in some form or fashion.
While I can spout off to the legal department all the good things
SharePoint can do for them, this group will be more easily sold on
using SharePoint if I can present them some white papers or case
studies on the use of SharePoint in the legal industry whether it be a
legal department or a legal firm.
Do you have any resources that I can use to build my case?
