Throughout the last 2-3 years, the climate has forced an accelerated adoption of digital transformation across in-house legal departments. As a result, many organizations have rushed their technology investment decisions and have ended up with technology stacks consisting of multiple point solutions that don't always work or fit together.
It's time to reimagine how your legal department approaches its technology stack, digital transformation, and technology advancement projects.
Join this webcast and learn about the growing need to consolidate systems, the benefits of creating a single source of truth, and the elements that are needed for a real end-to-end platform. You will gain
- An understanding of the benefits of consolidating your technology stack.
- An idea of how others are taking steps to simplify or consolidate siloed systems.
- Insight into what others in the industry are prioritizing when reviewing their technology.
