Lotus Notes: present and future
Article Abstract:
IBM's Lotus Notes will gain significant market share in 1997. Law firms can utilize Lotus Notes to bolster client services and firm profitability to facilitate superior information management, intellectual synergy and knowledge transfer. Its key competitive advantages illustrate IBM's extensive corporate talent, replication technology, abundant capital backing and its clear, flexible market vision. IBM's Notes-enabled Internet Domino has positioned Lotus Notes in a prime position within the emerging Internet market. Domino features replication, security, business-orientation and manageability while supporting HTTP. Domino integrates Internet/intranet server software capabilities with Lotus Notes' resilience. Domino also represents Lotus' allegiance to Internet standards. Domino works with Notes' client applications and standard browsers to provide an Internet gateway. Both Notes and Domino provide law firms with essential openness, corporate security, manageability and reliability.

The life cycle of operating systems
Article Abstract:
Microsoft Windows NT may be in the right phase of its life cycle to become the OS of choice in 1997. When choosing an OS, users should select products that are either in the ascendant or mature phase. In the ascendant phase, third-party vendors write programs for the emerging OS, and technical support organizations support the products. The mature phase begins when the product's developer decides it will offer no more enhancements or bug fixes to the existing product and begins work on the successor product. Users must also consider how their firm plans to use the technology, and Windows NT is especially suitable for those who use technology to give themselves a competitive edge. Windows NT is also a good choice because it is designed to provide stability and is less expensive to manage over the long term. With the memory prices falling, installing the extra memory needed for Windows NT is not as expensive as it was, and inexpensive, high-speed processors are available.

Litigation document management grows up
Article Abstract:
Automated litigation document management (ALDM) goes further than litigation support. ALDM incorporates document management, scanning, coding, OCR, indexing, and retrieval of documents. A traditional ALDM process starts with loading documents into a database. Searches can then be performed against those databases. The documents must then be categorized and shared. Products like JFS Litigator's Notebook, from J. Feuerstein Systems, organizes legal documentation around a Lotus Notes workgroup. The system creates a set of virtual binders, which offer views of the corresponding data. Any document can be tagged for inclusion in multiple binders. Although ALDM can offer many advantages, if not deployed properly, it can be susceptible to obsolescence and overcomplexity due to excessive volume.
