Why are we acting and what are the issues?
Microsoft 365 is one of the hottest topics in the current legal tech scene and almost every organization has already made the decision to implement Microsoft 365 into their platform and include it in their global IT strategy. As the demands on legal departments increase, so do the expectations: Legal departments are being treated more and more like other departments, with KPIs such as effectiveness, efficiency, costs and productivity increasingly setting the agendas.
Technology and digitalization in general are key drivers. Individual solutions for individual problems are not sustainable. Complexity and costs are increasing, while user acceptance is decreasing. Similar to other industries and application areas, there is a trend towards platforms that are already accepted and established in companies, such as Microsoft 365.
With this roundtable we want to build bridges and connect the fields of legal, business and IT, taking into account the rich world of the ubiquitous Microsoft platform. We want to motivate you to build, improve and act with all these possibilities without struggling with IT regulations.
