Archive for the ‘Case Studies’ Category
Please note that we’ve added a couple of new pages to The Law Firm Intranet that provide links to case studies by law firm name and the application being used. It is a work in progress that will need your support to be as useful as possible. Links to the pages can be found under the Pages heading in the far right column of this blog.
If you know of articles, blog posts, etc that report on case studies, please send me an email at nplatt @ ninaplatt . com.

Creating an Intranet Portal at Parker Poe, Steve Fletcher, Law.com, December 18, 2008.
In a crowded diner in Brooklyn, two men study a laptop computer. On the screen, a spectacular infinity pool disappears into the sea beside St. Lucia’s lush green Gros Piton mountains. Beside it, a colorful box lists the country’s hotels, real estate developments and golf resorts. There are Web links for the St. Lucia government, tourism and local news sites — even today’s weather. No, these guys aren’t planning a vacation on a travel agent’s Web site. A senior law firm partner is illustrating his team’s expertise in Caribbean resort and hospitality developments to a prospective client. What’s on the screen is one of the more than 200 practice group pages on Parkway, the intranet at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein.
