CONSOLIDATING SYSTEMS ON A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM In addition, IT departments should look for a technology platform that offers a rich set of functionality and capabilities, including a robust configuration, integration and development toolset. For example, IT departments should be able to make, test and deploy configuration changes in-house, without requiring resources with advanced programming skills. This will improve support efficiency and reduce the costs associated with system maintenance. The toolset should also not be limited to the Lower-Level Software Platform (e.g., Java, .NET) Provides full complement of platform-level core components that are leveraged across applications, providing ~80% of each application’s capability Designed specifically for building related applications that plug into each other for optimal data sharing Provides a consistent way to administer applications Provides a consistent way to deploy applications Offers out-of-the-box legal applications Offers pre-built modules for integration to known legal vendors Provides legal framework of reusable legal industry-specific core components for rapid development of new legal applications Content Management Platform (e.g., SharePoint) Higher-Level Technology Platform for Legal X X X X X X X X X X X www.iltanet.org Infrastructure Technologies 41
