Yesterday, we covered the first couple of steps in establishing a law firm preferred vendor program. Here are the next steps in the process.
read moreLast week, we talked about the components of a preferred vendor program. Establishing a program is a “project”, and should be approached with a solid plan of action. First, identify who will put the program together. The team should be made up of experienced litigation support professionals and it should incorporate input from litigation team members.

According to a Forrester report from last month, the global cloud computing market will grow from 40.7 billion dollars in 2011 to more than 241 billion dollars by 2020.

And, we talked about the advantages to a centralized approach and establishing a preferred vendor program. What, exactly, is a preferred vendor program? To most people, it’s having a list of pre-approved vendors that that can be called on as the need arises. That is certainly the core of a preferred vendor program. But, a good program goes a bit further.
read moreLaw firms take different approaches to working with vendors. In some firms, individual litigation teams evaluate, select and manage vendors on a case-by-case basis.

read moreWe’ve written about Facebook a lot on this blog. Perhaps our most popular post regarding Facebook was regarding the self collection mechanism that they rolled out last October, which we found out about via our LegalTech interview with Craig Ball published back in March after our February interview.
