We are proud to announce that ALC  was named one of the top 20 electronic service providers to the legal industry in the prestigious 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Survey Report.

This marks the first time ALC has been included and ranked in this survey. "This provides us an opportunity to showcase what our clients have known about our firm for the past 12 years - ALC Legal Technologies is committed to providing world-class service and settles for nothing less than total satisfaction with our clients. We anticipate moving up in the rankings in coming years," said ALC Founder and CEO Stefan Wikstrom.

Survey founder George J. Socha, Jr., weighed in, "This is an impressive showing - they are one of the firms that are successfully making the transition from the old paper-only service world into the new era of electronic data services. We look forward to tracking their growth and progress in the future."

ALC recently completed a significant upgrade to our data hosting centers and we now offer even greater capabilities than ever before. At each facility, we now have more than 42 Terabytes of data storage available - providing a greater range of options for clients.

For example, our systems enables us to quickly setup and deploy a case within hours - not weeks. We have hosted cases of all sizes with hundreds of users and cases with 11M+ pages.

Clients are using our facilities to painlessly import and manage volumes of native files, email, electronic data, and scanned images. Our capacity includes sizeable 500 Gigabyte capacity per database and many times that per case. All of this offered through a global, scalable and highly available data network that is tailored specifically for the legal service industry.

Hosted data is easily accessed remotely through our secure system any time of the day, 365 days a year. This provides continuing, safe and easy reference and archive long beyond project completion.
