[Lance Stone](https://ontimetech.valeonetworks.com/blog/author/ulisticadmin) : Apr 14, 2014, 3:42:23 PM [Managed IT Services](https://ontimetech.valeonetworks.com/blog/tag/managed-it-services) ![law firm cloud computing](https://ontimetech.valeonetworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Imported_Blog_Media/law-firms-cloud-computing.jpg?width=200&name=law-firms-cloud-computing.jpg)While the legal industry hasn’t been quick to embrace the cloud, attorneys are likely to adopt cloud technology in 2014. In fact, [LexisNexis Firm Manager](http://firmmanager.com/) surveyed 279 practicing attorneys in small law firms regarding their current and future use of cloud technologies. The survey reported the following: - 40% of respondents are already using cloud services. - 50% of respondents are planning to adopt cloud technologies. - 72% of respondents believe law firms will be likely to use the cloud in 2014. So what’s inspiring attorneys and law firms to embrace the cloud? There’s a few key factors influencing the cloud’s popularity: - **Accessibility:** The cloud enables attorney’s to access business-critical applications and data on any device with an Internet connection, regardless of the location and time. - **Security:** The cloud enables attorney’s to store confidential documents and restrict access to the cloud to ensure unauthorized individuals cannot access sensitive data. - **Cost-Efficiency:** The cloud reduces the cost of installing and maintaining hardware and software in-house. According to the survey, 45.2% of attorneys believe mobility and freedom are the greatest benefits of the cloud. In contrast, 40.5% of attorneys believe disaster recovery and data backup capabilities are the greatest benefits of the cloud. Although there’s clearly a lot of benefits, you’re probably wondering: is the cloud really secure enough to store client data, financial records, and legal documents? Well, most cloud providers consider data security to be a top priority. In most cases, the cloud actually makes it easier and less expensive to meet data security requirements. **To learn more about cloud computing, give us a call at {phone} or send us an email at {email}. {company} can help you embrace cloud computing and maintain your competitive edge in the legal industry.** - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### ![BusinessOwnerGuidetoM&A-1](https://ontimetech.valeonetworks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BusinessOwnerGuidetoM%26A-1.png?width=303&height=209&name=BusinessOwnerGuidetoM%26A-1.png) #### Download our eBook*THE ULTIMATE ROADMAP TO CMMC COMPLIANCE* by filling out the form below!
