You can hear more about the survey from Elster, and from Inside Legal’s JoAnna Forshee, in this Legal Current podcast.
The 2010 ILTA Member Technology Purchasing Survey is conducted in partnership with ILTA every year, and is distributed to its membership. Eighteen percent of ILTA’s qualifying member firms participated in this year’s survey.
