This is not the level of sophistication that one might expect 20 years into the PC revolution.
Here are some of the surprising findings:
- An amazing 45 percent of respondents still do not have Internet access at their office, and an astounding 85 percent do not have Internet access on the road.
- 77 percent cannot get to information on their office computer when they travel.
- Only about half of firms have an e-mail use policy and/or Internet use policy. And 65 percent have no e-mail retention policy.
- 63 percent are still using CD-ROM for legal research on the road — and almost all use it in the office.
- Only 0.15 percent of respondents use a handheld computer to check e-mail.
- LTN-Security on the road is still limited to virus protection software (27 percent) while passwords and encryption ran around 15 percent. Fourteen percent admit to taking no LTN-Security precautions at all.
