Colligo Networks has launched a bundle of its email and document management solutions for SharePoint, specifically designed for law firms and legal departments deploying SharePoint as a client/matter-centric legal document management system (DMS).

“Many law firms and legal department are interested in leveraging their existing investment in SharePoint as the foundation of their legal DMS,” says Trevor Dyck, Director of Product Management at Colligo Networks.
