Kraft & Kennedy: The Future (and Present) of VDI	8/24/2009 10:30 a.m.
Many law firms face the following issue: What is the best way to manage both a remote access environment and a separate production environment at the same time? The challenge is complicated by trying to provide a consistent experience for users in the office and those on the road. Please join Kraft & Kennedy for an examination of one possible solution for the legal environment: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure technologies. We discuss the current state of VDI technologies (what's there and what's missing); the advantages and disadvantages of moving to a VDI system; a comparison of the three major players (Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View and Microsoft Enterprise Virtual Desktop); and where VDI is going and whether VDI is right for your firm. Join us as we discuss these topics and answer any questions you have to help you make the right choices for your firm.

BigHand for BlackBerry Smartphones: The Quarterback Lawyer	8/24/2009 1:00 p.m.
If lawyers "quarterback" deals through support staff rather than carrying out low-level work themselves, it means a proactive firm can get more work done by each lawyer, at less cost, than it had before. Attorneys can then turn their intellectual powers into bills rather than perform time-consuming administratve tasks simply because it generates hours that can in turn be billed. Delegating and tracking work on-the-go is essential in the current economic climate, and this session will explore how BigHand for BlackBerry smartphones is being used to enable attorneys to utilize their voice to "quarterback" content and optimize value.

Handshake Software PageGuru	8/25/2009 1:30 p.m.
