Is Your Firm Stuck in the Past with WorkSite 8.2?

by | Jun 25, 2015 | Security

Rekall has worked with many law firms that considered the WorkSite 9.0. While it is always a great idea to upgrade away from unsupported software, Rekall does have a solution for those firms wanting to stick with WorkSite 8.2.

Being stuck with WorkSite 8.2 means that you can’t ever upgrade Microsoft Office 2007 or Adobe Acrobat 9. It essentially holds the firm hostage keeping them in the past for all their major applications. As new operating systems come out and Windows updates apply, WorkSite integration may break often.

For firms in this situation we offer two options. Either the firm upgrades WorkSite / iManage or the firm can move to Rekall Cloud where we can setup a virtual system circa 2005 technology that will handle the old version of WorkSite and essentially keep the system in a time capsule with 100% compatibility.

The firm can get rid of all servers, and firm users will be remoting onto cloud desktops that look identical to what they are used to complete with Office 2007 and WorkSite 8.2. Rekall currently works with a few law firms that have this type of setup. Essentially it gives law firms more time to make the upgrade decision while at the same time removes all the IT issues associated with using old software on newer operating systems.

As CEO of Rekall Technologies, I’ve been helping small business owners simplify their technology since 2011. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how IT becomes frustrating, time-consuming, and a constant distraction from running a business. That experience is what drove me to build Rekall differently. I didn’t want clients adjusting their businesses to fit their IT—I built services that adapt to how real businesses actually operate. My philosophy is simple: technology should be secure, stable, and effectively invisible. When IT is done right, it stays out of the way and gives you the freedom to focus on your clients, your team, and growing your business with confidence.
