Deep dives

The Evolution of InfoDash

InfoDash emerged from its roots as AcroWire, a consulting firm, to address specific needs in the legal industry related to knowledge management and collaboration amidst a transforming work environment. The transition to this new identity began with challenges in adapting to technological shifts, particularly Microsoft's updates from SharePoint's earlier models to more current frameworks. By 2022, InfoDash established itself as a dedicated solution for law firms facing the need to leverage cloud capabilities, especially as many firms migrated to Microsoft 365. This timely pivot took advantage of a gap in innovation within the sector, allowing InfoDash to cater specifically to law firms searching for effective cloud-based knowledge management solutions.
