ISSUE IN BRIEF
I remember writing about cloud computing, managed service provision and suchlike when I was a reporter on a technology trade magazine. That was 10 years ago.

In this month’s Briefing you can read about how law firms can use cloud and outsourced services to deliver more value for less outlay, how Shoosmiths is leveraging these services to gain differentiation in a competitive market, and what works (and what doesn’t) in outsourcing.
