Rafte & Company President Dena Rafte participated as a panelist in the session, "Getting a Seat at the Table," during ILTA ’07, the annual conference of the International Legal Technology Association. With the permission of ILTA and the event organizers, we have posted the audio from the discussion below.
“Getting a Seat at the Table” explored how some technologists have become key strategic thinkers in order to meet their firm's measurable business goals. Recognizing that technology is central to law firm operations, Rafte and other panelists will explore how legal technologists can become key strategists for their firms and discuss their successes as well as steer participants away from potential pitfalls.
“These are important conversations and I was honored to be selected to participate in ILTA ’07,” said Rafte, who established Rafte & Company nearly a quarter century ago. Today Rafte & Company is a leading provider of business strategy and technology solutions for law firms. “Making the most of technology investments to boost firm profitablity and streamline processes is instrumental in creating a client-focused firm.”
Dena Rafte is a frequent presenter on the importance of aligning technology investments with business strategy to improve law firm operational efficiencies and profitability.
