When you deploy an extranet, you demonstrate to your clients that you're committed to providing a superior level of client service. You provide a secure workspace where they can readily access critical information and work product. It lets you do old things – like share documents and billing information, etc. – in new ways (farewell to email and fax machines). And extranets let you do new things in new ways by giving you a more contemporary and secure way to collaborate with your clients.
The AMS Legal extranet is organized in a matter-centric fashion with each matter containing
documents, work product, discussion threads, calendar events and other information
relating specifically to the case or matter. Many firms will create practice group
specific areas for sharing information related to the group's practice activities. In
this light, extranets also become a powerful knowledge resource and project management
tool. Individuals can access relevant information in one place, using just
a browser. Through stringent security features and encryption, your firm can
control any level of user access, accommodating ethical or legal requirements.
