CASE/MATTER MANAGEMENT The opening sentence of our opening article sums up the focus of this publication perfectly: “To stay competitive while managing the pressures of increased risk and the inevitable impact on productivity and client service, law firms today require an intelligent, comprehensive and automated approach to managing all matter and case content across the firm.” The ever-changing technology landscape coupled with increased pressures for compliance make for some challenging times in managing case/matter information. As usual, our many contributors provide ample tools for easing the load. You’ll learn more about the power of “meaning-based” systems for managing content; you’ll get some solid advice on core capabilities required of 4 Case/Matter Management ILTA White Paper “evolved” case management solutions; you’ll explore some options for housing or hosting your case/ matter systems; we’ll touch on improved processes for document review; and our corporate law members will appreciate our concluding article that focuses on legal enterprise management. As your eyes peruse the abundant content, let your ears take a listen to a couple of podcasts that enhance the value of the publication. Many thanks to our authors (and speakers!) for setting us on a path toward better case/matter management. Randi Mayes Editor-In-Chief
