Hanzo & ACEDS recently conducted a webinar discussing navigating the future of collaboration data challenges in the legal sector.

As discussed here (Navigating the Future: ACEDS and Hanzo Illuminate Collaboration Data Challenges in the Legal Sector, written by Sarena Regazzoni and available here), the webinar was tied to the release of their fourth annual Collaboration Data Benchmark Report.

Moderated by Maribel Rivera of ACEDS, and joined by esteemed panelists Sonya Judkins, CEDS (T-Mobile), Amy Sellars – CEDS (CBRE), Lawrence Briggi (IBM), and Dave Ruel (Hanzo), the webinar delved into themes such as the increasing reliance on collaboration tools, data management complexity, and the need for proactive legal involvement for managing tools and policies for legal compliance and effective eDiscovery. The panel even discussed AI and its increasing importance for managing and interpreting large volumes of data. Here’s one of the topics that was discussed:

Increasing Reliance on Collaboration Tools

During the panel discussion, the participants discussed the extensive use of collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack in legal and corporate settings. They emphasized the growing dependence on these tools for communication and the challenges in managing them. Larry Briggi of IBM noted, “Almost 40 percent are using multiple platforms,” indicating a growing adoption of platforms. Previously, Microsoft Teams was the primary tool for 79 percent of respondents. Dave Ruel from Hanzo commented, “Teams is still a dominant force,” but noted, “There’s a steadiness in how these [collaboration] tools are being used.”
