I spoke with Jason Parkman, the CEO of Mitratech, an enterprise legal management software provider that helps corporate legal teams reduce their costs, collaborate, and increase their visibility. He noted that, “We are in the middle of a shift in how legal departments see themselves,” and we discussed the top three best practices they should implement today to position themselves for success in the future. They include:

1. Recognizing that technology is a force multiplier.
2. Becoming a data driven organization.
3. Focusing on continuous improvement.

“What worked in the past isn’t good enough going forward; new technology needs to be highly configurable and flexible, as well as easy to use.” — Jason Parkman, CEO, Mitratech
