We’re excited about the upcoming Houston Chapter ARMA conference and expo April 25th – 26th, 2017. The agenda promises many interesting discussions about the latest innovations in records management and information governance.

Last week, FileTrail’s team attended the Legaltech 2018 conference at the New York Hilton Midtown. We were thrilled about the buzz that was generated by the announcement of our newest product release: our automated information governance (IG) solution, Governance Policy Suite (GPS).

We’re excited about the upcoming ARMA LA conference on April 20, 2017. This year’s conference theme is focused on evolving technologies and keeping RIM (records information management) relevant.

Most law firms today understand they need to invest time and resources into developing policies and procedures to manage the vast amounts of information in their possession. However, properly executing IG policies comes with numerous difficulties. According to FileTrail’s CEO Darrell Merveau, the issue of retention is only going to become more important in the year ahead.

Email is the number one platform cyber criminals use for scams due to the heavy reliance on emails for business. According to email security services providers, 90% of security attacks begin with an email. An email security company reported that their quarterly threat summary for the first quarter of 2016 showed that there has been a 66% increase in emails containing malicious attachments and URL’s compared to the previous quarter in 2015. Compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

With so many options on the market, making the decision to upgrade your system might seem like a challenge. Is all records management software the same? What makes FileTrail better than the competition?

Recently, our CEO Darrell Merveau wrote an article about how law firms can effectively execute IG strategy: Having an IG Policy Isn’t Enough: Strategies for IG Execution. These days, information governance for law firms is a major topic of concern across the industry, which explains why Legaltech News published it on the front page of its newsletter.

A few weeks ago, our team attended the ARMA Live! 2017 conference at the Orlando World Center Marriot. We were impressed with its forward-thinking theme, “Agents of Change,” which focused on the evolving roles of ARMA members everywhere.
