Desktops are the core of the business, but we know 50% of users are accessing emails on their mobile device. Mobiles are part of a lawyers’ everyday life. We can deploy applications to mobiles securely, so it makes sense for us to understand how these apps are performing. Testimonial By Jeremy Hoyland
