NetDocuments to be at LegalTech West Coast 2010

The NetDocuments legal team is excited about their trip to Los Angeles in June for LegalTech West Coast, which will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center on June 23rd and 24th.

During the show, the legal team, consisting of Matt Duncan, Keith Schneider and Kirsten Walker, will be hanging out at booth #325 and will be talking SaaS, cloud computing, document management and legal technology all week. Commenting about the event, Matt Duncan said, ”LegalTech West Coast 2010 represents a great opportunity for us to meet with many of our existing law firm customers in the region, as well as connect with other firms that are growing increasingly interested in cloud computing and SaaS.”

What is LegalTech West Coast

The good people at ALM who organize all the LegalTech shows said, talking about LegalTech West Coast 2010, “LegalTech [West Coast] provides an in-depth look at what the technological world has in store for you and your practice AND offers an expansive exhibit floor with the most extensive gathering of innovative products designed to meet your current and future technology needs.”

The organizers did a fantastic job earlier this year at LegalTech New York and we are expecting the same quality of show in LA. Innovative business columnist for the LA Times David Lazarus and legal expert Erich Andersen of Microsoft will be the keynote speakers at the event. Other sessions we are looking forward to are the Cloud Computing and Advanced Sharing Technologies on June 24th, as well as the Legal Technology and Cost Management track that is also on the 24th.

Social Media

The social media buzz surrounding the show is sure to grow as we approach June 23rd. The Twitter #hashtag for the show is #LTWC and to see a list of attendees using Twitter, check out the LegalTech West Coast Twitter List. Also, for those not attending, be sure to follow the list and hashtag during the conference to stay current on what’s happening.

Elevated Content Regarding SaaS Technology

This past week saw a wide variety of news, blogs and videos regarding SaaS content management and cloud computing all over the web. In this blog, we will highlight a few of them.

In August, during Ilta ‘09, A group from ii3 consultants produced live Ilta TV broadcasts of conference events and interviews. They have now posted the recordings of the broadcasts online and made them free to the public. One of the segments was called, “Software as a Service for Law Firms,” and featured Tim Hooks of Chester, Willcox & Saxbe, LLP, as well as David Clark of Jones and Waldo. They discussed emerging SaaS technologies, and how SaaS solutions have helped their firms by reducing IT costs, and enabling their lawyers to practice law more efficiently.

Meanwhile, Nikki Black, one of the legal industries top SaaS advocates, released episode five of her LawTech Talk video series titled, “Cloud Computing and Your Law Practice.” The four-part episode first outlines SaaS and cloud computing, then goes on to  highlight three different companies with legal SaaS products. The episode is free and very well done.

Lastly, over the past few months, our support and sales teams at NetDocuments have been using a very nice screen sharing tool called Mikogo, and they have developed a nice relationship with the company. This week, NetDocuments was featured on the Mikogo blog in a post titled, “Easy Online Document Management With NetDocuments.”
