The Interwoven solution has been integrated with a broad spectrum of systems already in use to create a complete, technologically advanced infrastructure to support the firm's ongoing expansion into China and the region. Rodyk's more than 300 lawyers and support staff can securely access a centralized repository of knowledge from any location, including while traveling, to share information, re-use content, collaborate on matters, and ensure continuity of service.
