Coming today to TechnoFeature: Longtime TechnoFeature subscribers know that we're skeptical of futurist hyperbole and groupthink. Without much empirical evidence, a group of non-practicing lawyers has emerged who congregate at various conferences and predict that law firms will become an endangered species if they don't transform. Yes, industries change but not overnight. Evolution is common, revolution is rare. So at the beginning of 2011, we reached out to practice management, business development, and marketing consultant Allison Shields whose judgment we trust to jot down her observations this year during the course of her work advising law firms. In this article, she discusses five trends in the legal profession that she believes have taken root this year — and how you can capitalize on them.

Coming today to TechnoFeature: If you can no longer listen to The Who's "Going Mobile" without thinking about your next business trip, you're probably a good candidate for Fujitsu's ScanSnap S1100 portable scanner. But is this small scanner a good fit for you? Who better to ask than intellectual property lawyer and world traveler Al Harrison? We sent him a ScanSnap S1100, which he took with him on his travels along with his trusty laptop. In this issue of TechnoFeature, Al reviews the ScanSnap S1100 and its bundled software. And that's an understatement because this frequent flyer even tested it on several flights in both first class and coach. Thanks to his extensive testing, Al discovered some unique uses for this scanner even among non-travelers.

Coming today to TechnoFeature: "The future's so bright I gotta wear shades" sang a long forgotten one-hit-wonder. If the future of your law firm seems bright, make sure you wear shades and not blinders. A practice management system can help you avoid blind spots such as delinquent clients and underperforming lawyers. In this issue of TechnoFeature, Connecticut software consultant Caren Schwartz reviews AdvologixPM, a cloud-based practice management system that runs on Salesforce.com's platform as a service. Huh? Basically, it means that AdvologixPM and your data resides on servers managed by a large public company. You use AdvologixPM in your web browser. Freed from having to manage its own data center, Advologix can focus entirely on creating legal-specific features. That's the theory at least. How well does AdvologixPM work in practice? Read Caren's comprehensive review to find out.
