The once-popular BlackBerry is losing ground at large law firms, according to a survey of 83 chief information officers and technology chiefs at the nation’s top law firms.
According to the American Lawyer survey, 88 percent of the CIOs expect a net drop in the number of BlackBerry users at their law firms in the next 12 months. And firms that allow lawyers to bring their own devices to work are reporting benefits; the biggest one, according to 70 percent of the CIOs, is more cheerful users.
The survey also found that 75 percent of the firms are using social networking technology. Of those firms, 90 percent use LinkedIn, 64 percent use Twitter and 61 percent use Facebook.
Blackberry has failed to keep up with the iPhone and Android. As a result they have lost the marketshare they once owned. It is only a matter of time before everyone makes the switch.
