"Oklahoma lawyers' highest priority is protecting our clients' confidentiality and information," said OBA President Stephen Beam. "Much of that information is now stored electronically, and it is critically important for that information to be backed up securely.

CoreVault's online services allow individual attorneys to back up their laptop data, which is a major area of vulnerability for many practicing lawyers today. Many of OBA's members are solo practitioners with no dedicated IT staff, and smaller law firms face more challenges with regular backup. Larger law firms can benefit from our tiered service Tiered services is business jargon for providing a service (such as telecom connectivity or cable channel service) according to separate, incrementally distinct quality and pay levels, or "tiers." The term has current usage in the debate over network neutrality. platforms designed to manage data and costs effectively on a long term basis. Our bottom line-CoreVault's offerings of services and affordable secure solutions can be designed and implemented to suit your practice's unique and specific needs," said Cato. "Law firms are generally very busy workplaces," says Jim Calloway, Director of the OBA Management Assistance Program. "It is a challenge for many of them to get a weekly backup done and preserved off-site. Yet the economic impact of losing even a few days worth of work in the event of a system crash would be profound. Recreating two or three day's worth of work could be challenging, especially if there were court deadlines looming. This plan allows even a solo practitioner to have automated daily backups, with CoreVault[TM] staff in place to assist if there was a disaster and data needed to be restored."
