Technology 2.0



While doing business over the internet is easy and convenient, the door has been opened as to possible chances of confidentiality being breached as documents are e-mailed from one party to another with the possibility of them being intercepted. I recently attended a webinar and learned of a service through Backupmyinfo.com called Qwipit. Because Federal (and certain States) law now prohibits the transmission of Social Security numbers and other information from being sent over the internet without being encrypted, Qwipit has developed encryption technology that protects data that would otherwise be vulnerable to interception when sent via email. Qwipit offers a service where one party (with an account) loads their documents to a secure site on Qwipit's website, and the other party can log on and retrieve the documents, upload and save them on their own computer.

If you're interested in keeping up with the latest online legal technology, you can find downloads of legal software at Law.com. Demonstrations are available on their Legal Technology page, and are easy to find as they are categorized, such as Bankruptcy, Calendaring, Case Management, Document Management, Estate Planning, Forms and more.



They have also included demo versions of business, audio/video, design/photo, Internet software and web design utilities.
