ABA Techshow 2015 Orange Logo

Lawyers, if “60 Apps in 60 Minutes” brings a smile to your face then you are likely a fan of the ABA TECHSHOW. “60 Apps” is one of the most popular sessions each April at the TECHSHOW. The iOS apps session will be standing room only. The apps session is followed by “60 Sites in 60 Minutes,” featuring the most useful websites for lawyers today.

This year TECHSHOW has 15 tracks with several geared toward the mobile lawyer, including “iPAD,” “Mobile,” and “Advanced IT.” TECHSHOW is especially valuable for lawyers in solo to medium-sized firms. If you are responsible for IT, litigation technology, or marketing, TECHSHOW is a wealth of information for you. TECHSHOW sessions will illustrate how to optimize today’s technology, for example:

  • Introducing Your iPad into Your iPractice
  • Litigate on the iPad
  • How Lawyers Can Effectively Engage in Social Media

The ABA TECHSHOW is a great place to meet new and long-time peers. The networking is as good as the content.

Our company, Mobile Helix, will be at ABA TECHSHOW again this year. Please stop by booth 113. We will be happy to show you our LINK mobile app for lawyers. LINK gives you access to your email and files in one encrypted app. With LINK, it’s easy to find a document, review it, and then email it to a client from your smartphone or tablet, no matter where you are located. LINK gives you a great mobile experience and lets you be productive even when you are not in the office.

See you in Chicago, April 16th to 18th!

Mobile Helix Introduces Link at INTEROP NYC

Next week we celebrate our New York City roots by bringing Link to Interop NYC. Link is a secure mobile app which makes it easy to work with company files, Outlook, Office, SharePoint, and intranet apps from a single workplace on your mobile device.

See Link in action and learn more about the workflows which Link enables at our Technology Briefing at 11.30am on Wednesday October 1st, in Vendor Tech Session Room 2, located in Booth #745, Expo Floor, Level 3.

In the Expo, visit us in booth 429 to view a quick demo of Link. You will see, for example, how easy it is to compose an email and attach a link to a file which is stored behind the corporate firewall – no need for public cloud solutions.

You can even take the Link iOS Test Drive in our booth. Install Link on your iOS device and try out Link on the spot.

From the IT perspective, the beauty of Link is that it is simple to deploy and maintain. Total cost of ownership is low as Link runs on standard IT infrastructure such as VMs, app servers, and HTTPS connections. Link is encrypted end-to-end, with AES-256 encryption at-rest and TLS over HTTPS in-motion. We will show you Link’s policies to manage security, roles, users and apps in our management console.

Interop has long been the leading conference on infrastructure, the Cloud, security, and mobility. Interop NYC is held at the Javits Center. In fact, it’s not too late to register for a free pass to the Expo (available through Sept. 26th).

Look for Link at booth 429.

Three Things That You Need to Try at ILTA 2014

When we committed ourselves to providing the workflows which legal teams need to get real work done on mobile devices, we were not kidding. It started with listening to legal IT professionals.

Now, at ILTA 2014 we are thrilled to introduce three new features specifically crafted for legal teams.

1. Link’s integration with WorkSite (iManage) Document Management System.
Search, view, edit, and sync docs in WorkSite. Save docs for offline access. All from your mobile device.

2. Link’s secure file sharing with external parties.
Easily send a client an encrypted link to an encrypted doc from your mobile device.
The original doc may be stored in WorkSite, SharePoint, CIFS, NetDocuments, Alfresco and other file management systems.

3. Edit SharePoint docs with Microsoft Office Online, formerly Office Web Apps.
Check the edited doc back into SharePoint.

Take our Link Test Drive on the spot at ILTA14. In our booth you can install Mobile Helix Link from the App Store and then immediately get up and running with files, SharePoint and Outlook Email, Contacts and Calendar in our hosted demo environment.

Bonus – we will have a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card each day for people who take the Link Test Drive.

We are looking forward to meeting you at ILTA14! See you at Booth 814.

Dolly and Taylor, see y’all soon – ILTA14 in Nashville!

IMAGINE-header ILTA14

For the second year in a row we will be a sponsor of the International Legal Technology Association annual conference, this year in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. The Opryland Hotel is sold out and ILTA expects a record-breaking crowd again this year.

Naturally we will be demoing our latest features and workflows in our booth, number 814. If you are familiar with our Link mobile app you know that Link makes it easy to get real work done on mobile devices. For instance, you can search all of your work file repositories to find a doc. That doc may be in SharePoint, your DM system, your ECM, or a CIFS file share. You can edit that doc, sync it back and share it with people both internal and external to your company. With a few taps, create an appointment to review the doc with a client or colleague.

The beauty of Link is that it is a single, integrated app which hosts your Email, Contacts, Calendar, files and work web applications so that you can do all of your work from one app. Because Link is an encrypted container on your mobile device, IT can manage the security of firm data while your personal data and apps remain private.

We will preview the new features and workflows which will be launching at ILTA14 in this blog in early August. Watch for our tweets: @mobilehelix .

To make an appointment for a demo at ILTA14, just email me: Maureen at mobilehelix dot com

We can’t wait to see y’all again this year, in Nashville.

ILTA SharePoint Symposium 2014

June 10th & 11th, Westin, Lombard, IL

ILTA events are distinguished by their camaraderie and their content. The SharePoint Symposium is entirely devoted to how legal teams use SharePoint. That’s a broad topic spanning business intelligence, extranets, social, compliance and, of course, mobility. Sessions are presented by legal technology and knowledge management professionals at law firms. I can’t think of another industry event where people in the same field are so willing to share their experience with their peers – what’s working and what they have successfully developed.

We are happy to be a sponsor of SPS14 again this year. We will be featuring Link’s unique integration with email, files, and document management systems, including SharePoint. Link equips lawyers with the features and workflows which they need to truly be able to work on mobile devices. There may be no other profession in which time is at such a premium. Link makes the difference between recognizing a task on mobile to act on later and acting on it now.

With Link email, files, SharePoint, Office, and applications are all accessible in a single encrypted workspace on your mobile device. It is simple to search documents in various repositories from your mobile device. Then you can edit, annotate, check-out/in, share, email or save for access later when you may be offline.

We look forward to showing you more of Link at SPS14!

We are headed to my kind of town, Chicago, next week for some great food and the American Bar Association Techshow. ABA Techshow has a forward looking agenda which jumps right into social, mobile and cloud. We will be demoing our new integration with Office 365 as well as our connector to NetDocuments’ document management and collaboration system.

I’m looking forward to this year’s keynote by Google Ventures Partner, Rick Klau. Rick co-leads Google’s Startup Lab. He has worked in product management with Google+, Blogger and YouTube. Where it gets interesting is that Rick has a JD from the University of Richmond School of Law and has worked at iManage. Rick should have quite a perspective on new technology and legal.

Please visit us in booth 104. We will be happy to show you our file sync, share, and edit. Files from Windows, CIFS, SharePoint, OneDrive, NetDocuments, OpenText and Alfresco are safely accessible for review and edit, online or offline, in our encrypted container.
See you at ABA Techshow or Emilio’s Tapas!

SharePoint 2014 Wrap-up

Posted on by

President Bill Clinton and Danica Patrick are behind us now and we are all back at work, catching up.

I have a few observations about SPC14 before we head off to the American Bar Association Techshow in Chicago.

    1. I am quoting, “They should have called it Office 365 Conference 2014.” Indeed. If you have not seen Office 365 recently, take a good look. The interface is intuitive and friendly. The line between Office 365 and SharePoint 2013 blurs. Maybe SharePoint fades away and the capabilities become part of Office 365?

    2. Yammer. No surprise here. Yammer social leads the way over SharePoint social.

    3. Office 365 provides enhancements in security and control, including second factor authentication and rights management.

    4. Business Intelligence takes a front seat. Analysis is done in Excel. A new product, Power BI, surfaces the data in Office 365 and offers collaboration.

    5. Speaking of collaboration, in Office 365, concurrent users can now collaborate in editing Excel. This was already available in Word.

    6. Oslo and the Office Graph.

Oslo is the code name for the new, powerful search in upcoming in Office 365, based on FAST. But it’s more than searching on a keyword. Oslo is the intelligence behind the Office Graph. The Office Graph understands a user’s relationships to people and content. Then Oslo serves up cards which provide the user with content and news which she is likely to be interested in.

Pictures are helpful: http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/11/introducing-codename-oslo-and-the-office-graph/

It strikes me that Microsoft is moving very rapidly to close the gap in hosted apps and in social. Oslo is slated for release later this year. If Microsoft delivers on the Oslo promise, it will be an almost dizzying leap forward.

Whether it is SharePoint Conference or Office 365 Conference – see you next time.

If you are in legal IT, look for us in booth 104 at ABA Techshow, Chicago Hilton, March 27th and 28th.

Great to be back in Las Vegas for SPC14. Microsoft does an incredible job with this conference. This year’s keynote is President Bill Clinton. I hear he’s an avid SharePoint user. 🙂

SharePoint needs to move and travel with you. Link for SharePoint has two views which users love:

  • SharePoint desktop view, fully interactive – everything which you can do at your desktop, you can do on mobile. Perfect on a tablet.
  • SharePoint App – use when you are on the go and need quick, small screen access to vital files and lists.

With Link, you can save docs for encrypted offline access, then review and edit them later.

Use SharePoint on your schedule, with the device that is most convenient for you.

In addition, in the encrypted Link container you have access to:

  • Outlook
  • Office Web Apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote
  • Office 365
  • Enterprise Content Management
  • Any application on your intranet via our secure browser

Want to write mobile web apps and secure them in our container? The Link HTML5 SDK is for you.

If you have not seen our Link SharePoint solution, this is the perfect opportunity.

We’ll be happy to show you Link at booth 641.

ILTA Catalyst 2013

ILTA 2013 logoVisit Us at ILTA 2013: The Catalyst – Booth 720

We are headed to the Catalyst, the International Legal Technology Association’s annual conference.  This year it takes place at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas, from August 18th through 22nd. The Catalyst is very popular because legal technology professionals can count on sessions which are relevant to the challenges particular to legal IT.

We will be demoing our secure mobile apps which allow attorneys to be productive no matter where they are working, with secure access to resources behind the firm’s firewall.

– Link Filebox App – Provides secure access to file directories. Attorneys can save files for offline access as well as edit WORD and EXCEL docs.

– Link SharePoint List App – For easy access to files, tasks, blogs, calendars and any list items. Attorneys can save files for offline access as well as edit WORD and EXCEL docs.

– Link Email, Contacts & Calendar App – Link Email is integrated with Microsoft exchange to provide attorneys with secure mobile access to Outlook from our intuitive user interface. The secure integration of our Email app with the firm’s intranet prevents data loss. For example, an email with a link to a document behind the firm’s firewall is opened within our secure container and cannot be saved outside of the container on the device. However, the document can be saved within the secure container for review later. WORD and EXCEL files may also be edited, while remaining encrypted.

– Link HTML5 SDK – Many law firms are ahead of the curve in developing HTML5 mobile apps.  Our HTML5 SDK is open source, standards-based and no-cost.  Built on jQuery/jQuery Mobile and with Apache Cordova/Adobe PhoneGap incorporated, our SDK streamlines HTML5 development.  The SDK includes our libraries for advanced features including offline access, multi-tab browsing, split screen scroll and real-time push notifications.  To secure HTML5 apps you have the option of licensing our secure Helix Browser but there is no lock-in to our products.

The Catalyst is a terrific conference with a friendly focus on networking and technology.  We’ll be tweeting at #ILTA13.

Stop by booth 720 to see a demo, to get your Bingo card stamped and to enter our drawing for a popular Apple product.
