<i><b>Legal Tech</b></i><br> Five Ways Legal and Compliance Teams Can Benefit from Office 365 Migration

By Jake Frazier and Chris Zohlen

IT departments are typically in the driver's seat of an organization's migration to Microsoft Office 365 or other cloud solutions. Some organizations have faced major data breaches, regulatory investigations or large-scale litigation that serve as catalysts for auditing and updating existing processes and technology. Other organizations may not have the same pressures, but are looking to shift to cloud solutions to address budget strains or make incremental changes to systems and IT overhead. But regardless of the drivers, IT is often leading the charge.

As Office 365 adoption becomes increasingly widespread (Microsoft reports its traction among 80% of the Fortune 500), other departments, including legal and compliance, are gaining increasing exposure to migration initiatives. Legal and compliance groups have a lot to gain from features within Office 365, and equal or greater risk if the process is not conducted in the context of strong legal and regulatory guidelines. With this, many attorneys are beginning to recognize the opportunities a cloud migration brings to solving their needs and challenges, and therefore, an increasing number are showing interest in leading the charge, or partnering closely with IT for these types of projects.
