Gilbert + Tobin, a top-tier law firm with over 550 people across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, will upgrade its on-premises DMS to NetDocuments native cloud-based service to achieve greater usability, mobility, and improved security. Gilbert + Tobin services corporate and government clients across the APAC region and around the globe.

“This DMS transition is very strategic for the firm and ultimately leverages modern technology to elevate the level of customer service we provide to our clients, which directly supports our firm’s commitment to innovation,” Mitch Owens, Head of IT Operations at Gilbert + Tobin, commented.

“NetDocuments’ user-centric platform provides the productivity tools that unlock our people from their desks with inherent mobility, client collaboration, and an intuitive, feature-rich interface – something we simply weren’t able to achieve with the previous on-premises DMS.”

The SaaS/cloud platform will play a key role in the firm’s security, risk management, and information governance initiatives.

“Additionally, as we pursue more business in the financial services and government sector, the ability to detail that our critical data stores have industry leading compliance such as IS27001, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type 2 will ensure we meet the requirements of current and future clients. And, the local Australian-based data centre infrastructure ensures our data always remains within Australia,” concluded Owens.

“We’re extremely excited to have Gilbert + Tobin join our global customer community, and add to the increasing momentum and native-cloud adoption in Australia and across APAC,” stated Paul Wyatt, NetDocuments’ APAC Sales Director.

“NetDocuments’ ‘cloud-first’ approach to software development and integration, as well as the close alignment and strategic relationship with Microsoft and Office 365, make NetDocuments the innovative platform of choice as law firms increasingly look to take their practice into the future.”
