Why is a social intranet important for law firms?

The beauty of working in a law firm is that it’s full of a variety of people who are legal, business or creative orientated.

The issue a lot of the time is actually making the most of getting everyone’s ideas in one place. This is where a social intranet comes into play. By combining business and social, you will inherently boost productivity amongst your team because everyone will be on the same page at all times.

HumHub is an application that your team will actually want to use. It’s interactive, easy to navigate and simple to set up. It will combine intelligence, improve team collaboration and will thus improve the running of your law firm.
