With many legal technology systems moving from their traditional homes on internal servers and behind firewalls into the cloud, law firm and legal department IT administrators increasingly have to abandon previous strategies and devise new management structures. While many traditionally relied on SQL, the database language used to query large systems, IT personnel now find themselves having to wade through various APIs to manage new cloud-based systems.
Legal software group Prosperoware this week launched CAM, a set of tools intended to help companies navigate their various cloud systems under one unified platform. Prosperoware CEO and co-founder Keith Lipman intends for CAM to serve as an “integrated management layer across a variety of applications.” The transition to the cloud, he said, has forced IT administrators to find new ways to query for content across systems, often using SQL.
