The Legal Industry faces an environment of rapid and dramatic change.
With the emerging laws regarding e-discovery and the need for legal electronic records, the role of accurate and legal time stamps can make all the difference.
The role of technology stems from the need for faster business processes, greater efficiency, competitive advantage and growing customer savvy. Business is no longer just handled in traditional means but involves the use electronic communications: E-mail, IM, network transacations, etc.
With these new ways in how business is done, the networks that support the legal requirement of organizagions are growing constantly to meet newer expectations. The value of a business network is in terms of security and accuracy including the requirement for Legally Traceable Time®.
Information management systems, unified messaging and collaboration tools are all components of the network that rely on time synchronization, which allows users to authenticate messages, digitally sign emails and use certificates. Spectracom’s GPS enabled time servers support the functionality of: authentication, active directory and cryptography for a more resilient network. Time synchronization also provides accuracy in time-stamping of events and reporting accurate time based data for use in audits.
Security is also addressed, as there is an ever growing amount of client information in electronic formats. With the need to keep prying eyes away from confidential client files, the network itself must be secure. A Spectracom time server resides behind the firewall of the network, so there is no need to open additional ports in the network and gain time from an un-secure internet time source. Synchronized time can also be displayed, so that others in the firm may benefit from it’s accuracy as well.
Spectracom offers the tools to support IT professionals concerned with Legal records to gain greater security and compliance.
