Even though 2\/3rds of legal professionals recognise that technology can help them do their jobs better, the most frequently used bit of technology, according to a recent Microsoft study\u00a0of hundreds of legal professionals, was pen and paper. It\u2019s easy to see why: a legal pad is portable, easy to add information and a pen is as easy and intuitive and interface as there is. But on the downside they\u2019re not particularly secure, can be difficult to access information quickly, and wasn\u2019t made for collaboration.<\/p>\n

For a law firm such as Howell Jones, with offices across the UK and clients all over the globe, security, access and collaboration are keys to their success. And the limitations of old technology just won\u2019t cut it. Fortunately, they\u2019ve invested in Microsoft Surface Pro 4 devices for their management which gives them the flexibility, portability and intuitive interface of a pen and paper, but the incredible speed and processing power of a full workstation. What\u2019s more, Howell Jones have invested in moving their infrastructure to the cloud so that their legal team have access to every detail to hand \u2013 from client and case information to overall firm performance against key performance indicators.<\/p>\n
