 Just because the law doesn’t always evolve at the same rapid pace as technology, it doesn’t mean legal administrative work shouldn’t be up to speed. It’s probably a fair bet that the majority of law firms across the U.S. rely on MS Office suites for email hosting, filing, document retrieving, etc. But now, practicing law is easier than ever with WorkShare Point Version 5.1, which seamlessly integrates with Outlook and SharePoint.

WorkShare 5.1 has already received many positive user reviews. In fact, one user claims that it’s a “great product for document comparison.” The ratings indicate that the majority of users have awarded the new version five out of five stars. In comparison, all other versions were rated four and a half stars.
