Business Challenge
Things have changed a lot since the 1970s when Whitelaw Twining first set up shop. As email became a more commonplace means of communication, attorneys at Whitelaw Twining started sending emails (rather than letters) to clients and other people who were related to their cases. This caused the amount of data being stored by the firm to explode. Most legally sensitive communications can’t simply be deleted, since they need to be kept for compliance purposes. This meant finding a better way to store, sort, and manage these documents.
