ILTA Webinar: How NetDocuments Integrates with Microsoft Teams to Accelerate Firm Productivity
2021-03-26 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Halifax)
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been a year since our lives were changed, forever. And, while the world shifted to working from home nearly overnight, many firms quickly responded by pushing out Microsoft Teams as an urgent measure to keep employees connected. As a result, an incredible 49% of firms are Microsoft Teams today.
In this webinar you’ll hear from industry experts at Microsoft and Kraft Kennedy about how NetDocuments’ technology is delivering an unmatched, seamless integration with Teams, helping lawyers everywhere work more securely, collaboratively, and productively.
Join the webinar to:

Learn massive shifts taking place industry wide
Discover how CIOs today are handling loss of control and governance issues in a post-2020 workplace
Hear first-hand from Kraft Kennedy how they’re helping firms successfully move to Teams with a tight integration with NetDocuments, and how it’s made all the difference during the pandemic
Get a live demo on how NetDocuments seamlessly integrates with Teams to minimize risk and maximize control over where and how users are saving documents

2021-05-25 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Webinar
We have a lot of questions about Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) and we’ve put together a panel of professionals with diverse roles to break down the program, highlight our obligations, and discuss everyday concerns that affect us as employers. This education program is for members only. Register here
Panelist Discussion Topics:

Dos and Don’ts
What are the main claims you’re seeing? Anything unexpected so far?
Examples of claims including pitfalls and things to consider for the main types of claims such as:
Parental Leave – with a medical component (mother) and non-medical (father/adoption)
Employee illness
Dependent/family member illness
How does PFML work with other company policies such as Parental Leave and Short Term Disability?
Are there any concerns with Firms’ exemptions? Do they need to refile yearly to opt in/out?
Can employees really use PFML after they leave a company? How does that work?
What documentation do we tell employees they need for a claim? How do you suggest we go about handling that documentation, which we may not want to see!
How detailed is the Commonwealth when making their decision on a claim? What if an employer disagrees with the state’s decision?
Are there notices or other announcements we, as administrators, should make sure we distribute?

Webinar: Planning, Trust, and Precision: How Ice Miller Adopted the Cloud Completely Remote
2021-09-08 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
When Ice Miller set out to adopt a new document management system (DMS) they knew that internal adoption would be both the most difficult hurdle and their key to success. They spent months carefully planning their implementation. But then, the pandemic shut down the world.
Recognizing that their teams simply could not function as effectively without a cloud-based DMS while working remote, Ice Miller put their trust in implementation partner Kraft Kennedy and NetDocuments, their chosen DMS system, to bring them through a successful remote cloud adoption.
Join this webinar with Ice Miller Project Manager Kelly Kautsky and Director of IT Applications, Steve Johnson, in addition to Kraft Kennedy and NetDocuments, to hear first-hand how their trust in the process and technology paid off. Spoiler alert: it worked beautifully.
