Integration of your strategic applications in the Cloud shouldn’t be an afterthought. As your firm prepares to migrate systems to the cloud, you can plan ahead to ensure that the connection across systems will be robust – and avoid disruption and data loss when the inevitable downtime happens across one or more applications. In “Strategic Links on Your Cloud Journey: Systems”, Christopher Young and Augustine Contrera of Harbor will discuss best practices in planning a Cloud-ready integration architecture for your law firm. Key topics will include: • The impact of “staged” cloud migrations on integration • Advantages of building a Cloud-ready infrastructure before it becomes critical • Considerations in selecting the best integration technology for your firm Regardless of where your firm is in its cloud journey, thinking about "processes" rather than "systems" could be the key to delivering an integration architecture that is flexible, scalable, and performant over time. Register to join the webinar – the second in our series on cloud migration strategy for law firms – on Wednesday, October 9: https://bit.ly/3XQmOoM #LegalTech #LegalTechnology #CloudMigration

Mulching trees and cleaning up litter in Chicago...packing fruit and vegetable boxes in New York...working at food banks in Washington, DC, Seattle, and London...sorting children's clothes donations in Philadelphia...wrapping diapers in Nashville, Tennessee....pitching in with a community garden in Moncton, New Brunswick. These were just a few of the volunteer activities the Harbor team took part in during our recent Day of Service. Many thanks to everyone who participated in giving back to our local communities. #HarborCares #InclusiveCommunity #ResilientConnections

Passing this along to my network, as just about every law department leader I talk to is curious about how to prioritize legal-specific GenAI use cases, and how best to think about different categories of GenAI that are applicable to the legal industry. An awesome brief from my colleagues Justin Hectus, Sean Monahan, and Bobbi Basile. As you navigate the choppy waters of how to apply GenAI, let Harbor be your guide!

A strategic approach to exploring use cases could significantly increase your ROI from Generative AI in legal. Map opportunities and priorities with Harbor: https://lnkd.in/eQkbGkCt #LegalTech #GenerativeAI #AIStrategy

Had a great time participating in Harbor's week of service! Last week, we volunteered at Food Lifeline in Seattle, WA. We packed over 1,000 lbs of pasta that will be available to share with the local community experiencing hunger. Grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with my colleagues at Harbor and make a positive impact locally! #HarborCares #volunteer #socialimpact #nonprofits

I utilized Harbor's Day of Service last week to help pack ready meals at Feed My Starving Children. This pallet will be sent to Somalia. Later in the day I worked with Great River Greening to pull invasive buckthorn and seed the forest floor with native species. #harborcares Harbor

Excited to have taken part in the #HarborCares Day of Service here in Nashville! We came together at the Nashville Diaper Connection, where we, with others in the community, sorted and packaged 8,800 diapers—enough diapers for 176 babies. It was a truly rewarding experience to connect with my fellow remote coworkers while making a real difference in our community. Proud to be part of an organization that prioritizes giving back! #Harbor #CommunityService #GiveBack

Thrilled to have participated in the #HarborCares Day of Service event in NYC on Tuesday. We volunteered at West Side Campaign Against Hunger through NY Cares. Between our two sessions we packed over 200 bags of assorted vegetables and fruit, assembled ~ 400 boxes and packed 388 boxes ready for delivery to those in need! #Harbor #NYCares
