Improving services as a client-centric business AMT has many ongoing and upcoming projects , including ones for document management , document search and review , knowledge management and data analytics , a collaboration platform , information governance and the ever-changing realm of cybersecurity .
“ The goal of these projects is not only to introduce new tools and services , but also to create new value through their integration . So we are working to achieve this goal in stages with ideas from different teams ,” said Hojo .
Putting the customer first is already at the centre of the firm ’ s strategy .
“ By learning how technologies and data can create new efficiencies and values , provide insights , manage risks , and create the future of law , and by collaborating with each team , we believe that they will lead to a highly customised experience for our clients ,” said Hojo .
Digital Experience ( DX ) has also helped AMT to re-shape their cybersecurity , as Hojo explains : “ Every change in the business environment involves some
risks . Successful digital and business transformation requires a cybersecurity strategy that is optimised for them .
It is critical to understand both DX and cybersecurity , and find a way to develop actionable strategies that complement each other . AMT has been working to develop such strategies and plans since prepandemic times .
Putting DX and cybersecurity together as a strategy , and redesigning and rebuilding cybersecurity measures that perfectly covered the complexity of the new hybrid business environment , wasn ’ t easy for Hojo .
“ We are still in the middle of our digital and business transformation journey , and halfway through a cybersecurity re-shaping . I ‘ m truly grateful to our talented teams at AMT and our valued technology partners for making sure we are getting where we need to be ,” he said . cybermagazine . com 141
