Merging Marketing, Technology and Research Over the past few years, information technology departments have started to roll out software programs that assist marketing departments with the capture of basic client relationship information for mailings, law alerts and the like, while at the same time working in tandem with libraries to upgrade their legal research tools. A new method of delivering all of this information can now be aggregated in one interface. Knowledge Management as a Business Imperative Knowledge management — the leveraging of a firm’s collective wisdom by creating systems and processes to support and facilitate the identification, capture, dissemination and use of the firm’s knowledge to meet its business objectives — should be key to the practice of law.
