Sophisticated Technology for the Legal Sector
The legal industry has adopted a hybrid model. Meetings between client and firm, and sometimes even court proceedings themselves, can occur virtually. Large and small firms alike have found that sophisticated, reliable technology is essential for client service and a firm’s ability to bill hours.
Part of creating a beautiful, smooth experience for clients is elevated tech. Legal firms that want to deliver excellent services don’t just operate in the office—they curate a space that goes above and beyond with impeccable IT infrastructure. We’ve identified several essential elements of a comprehensive technology strategy for legal firms: secure data storage, audiovisual, wireless, and security.
Non-Negotiable #1: Secure Data Storage
In legal settings, there has always been a surplus of confidential data to store. What was once boxes of documents has long been digitized, necessitating secure storage in data centers or server rooms. This shift not only requires top-tier security measures but also demands exceptional network latency to ensure teams can access critical information instantly.
Non-Negotiable #2: High-Quality Audiovisual
High-quality speakers, cameras, and microphones make conference calls a breeze, and advanced audiovisual systems streamline hybrid meetings. For example, Teladata has worked with clients on automation to close shades when video conferencing equipment is engaged, creating a smooth, professional experience. Plus, when audiovisual equipment is strategically mounted and installed properly, it becomes an extension of the space instead of a cumbersome addition.
Non-Negotiable #3: Reliable Wireless Connectivity
Connectivity is also a high priority in legal spaces, where attorneys, support staff, and clients conduct important and confidential business virtually. With superior wireless design and expert installation, spotty connections or dead spots within the office environment should be left in the past. Additionally, because courtrooms are no longer limited to the physical confines of county buildings, connectivity is increasingly essential. Teladata works with legal clients to ensure seamless connectivity through our wireless and distributed antenna system (DAS) services.
Non-Negotiable #4: Security
Physical building security is critical in legal settings. Elements like video surveillance, access control systems, alarm systems, automatically locking doors, lobby security, and more all build long-lasting client relationships. That feeling of physical security earns client trust, which is an essential building block of long-lasting client/firm relationships.
