NACBA chose Higher Logic for its robust features , options for libraries and microsites , and an easy-to-use platform that was well-suited to limited staff resources . The functionality and flexibility offered through Higher Logic ’ s community platform will be night and day for even for the most active user .
Once again , while the existing system will be maintained as long as possible ( until fatal error ), the new system has been operational for the last 12 months . NACBA is now well positioned for current and future usage with a system that has built in redundancy , security and engagement features found on many social media platforms .
Do attorneys love change ? Of course not . However , the membership should rest assure knowing that over 500 hours were invested over 12 months that met time deadlines and budgetary requirements . This initiative involved project management , assessing business needs , reviewing internal processes , developing documentation , and overseeing training needs .
Most importantly , the new NACBA Communities ensure the continued live , informative , insightful , humorous and sometimes , snarky “ listserv ” emails necessary to educate , advocate and litigate .
We also have plans for different types of communities ( in 2017 ) that will directly impact your practice .
