9 WWW.ILTANET.ORG | ILTA WHITE PAPER OFFICE 365 Office 365 Solutions Are Changing the Game » Security and Information Governance: Mobile access to firm data must coexist with the firm's security and information governance policies. They are not two opposing forces, but rather, two sides of the same coin that must work together. Office 365 provides administration options to control all the access and sharing in your firm's organizational tenant. This means it is under your firm's control and governance. Workflows must be defined and security measures such as multi-factor authentication, mobile device management, information rights management, data loss prevention and legal holds are available to make the interaction with Office 365 compliant with the requirements of your firm. It is our responsibility to read and understand all the terms of service, but the fact that these options are available as part of the platform is another game changer in my eyes. Our Role is Changing Too The options afforded by Office 365 are improving the way we provide technology to our firm personnel. Office 365 is changing the way we look at technology solutions in law firms and is moving our vision outside of the walls of our offices while providing essential safety and security. We are moving from implementing and maintaining technology to managing technology solutions for our firms. Office 365 is the direction Microso is heading–in a big way. The expectations and demands of firm personnel and clients for connectivity, communication and collaboration options are changing. There is an increased necessity for maintaining, protecting and managing firm and client information while still allowing the mobility and connectivity that are essential to provide excellent legal services. Office 365 makes that possibility a reality. It's worth keeping an eye on Microso Office 365 and how it is changing the way we interact with technology and information. It's been with us for six years and is gaining more converts each and every day. And looking to the future, also keep an eye on new things from Microso, like Microso 365, which pushes the goal further to provide more solutions instead of separate products. Microso 365 brings together Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security. Interesting days of change ahead!
