Protect What You Can’t Afford to Lose — Data and Time

Fri 02 May 2025

Why Channel Partners Play a Critical Role in Helping Clients Strengthen Data Governance with CAM

In today’s hybrid legal environment, uncontrolled data sprawl and compliance risks put law firms and legal departments at serious risk. Protecting data and managing time efficiently aren’t just IT issues anymore—they’re strategic priorities that directly impact client trust, firm reputation, and profitability.

For Litera channel partners, this shift presents a major opportunity: help your clients take control of their data environments with CAM, the leading platform for streamlined governance across collaboration tools.

This blog explains how CAM delivers real-world value to legal organizations—and how you, as a trusted Litera partner, can position it as an essential foundation of any firm's modern tech stack.

The Partner Opportunity: Security, Compliance, and Productivity in One Solution

Law firms and corporate legal departments are juggling more collaboration tools than ever—Teams, SharePoint, NetDocuments, OneDrive, and more. This fragmented environment leads to inconsistent permissions, redundant provisioning, and increased risk of exposure. In fact, 40% of law firms use three or more collaboration tools, which can result in unmanaged access to sensitive client data.

As a Litera partner, you can help solve this problem with CAM. Here’s how CAM directly supports the outcomes your clients care most about:

Data Protection Clients Can Trust

Data breaches cost professional services firms an average of $5.08M in 2024. With CAM, you can offer your clients a way to:

  • Standardize and automate access controls across tools
  • Prevent unauthorized access and reduce exposure
  • Maintain a single source of truth in their DMS

Your clients will appreciate that CAM helps them align with data protection expectations while giving them the tools to prevent data loss, improve client trust, and avoid regulatory risk.

Time-Saving Automation

Your clients’ IT and legal ops teams are overwhelmed by repetitive tasks like provisioning, permissions updates, and folder creation. CAM automates these workflows—meaning:

  • No more bottlenecks for document access
  • Workspace creation happens instantly and consistently
  • Permission updates occur in bulk with just a few clicks

By eliminating manual processes, you’re giving your clients back time they can spend on higher-value work—and boosting their ROI in the process.

How CAM Helps You Sell Smarter

Whether you’re bundling CAM with Foundation, Peppermint, or other Litera solutions, here’s how it can strengthen your value proposition:

  • Differentiate with Governance: Most firms don’t realize how fragmented their data environment is. CAM helps you position governance as a competitive advantage, not just a backend necessity.
  • Upsell With Confidence: CAM isn’t just for IT—it empowers business users, too. That makes it easier for you to have conversations across roles: legal ops, finance, marketing, and more.
  • Drive Stickiness: With CAM managing data across the lifecycle, your clients are more likely to standardize on Litera’s ecosystem—improving retention and renewal rates.

Like CMS says, “CAM just sits there and does what we need it to do.”

FileTrail: The Final Piece in the Governance Puzzle

Many of your clients may already be using CAM—or they may be ready to adopt it now. To complete their governance journey, you can also offer FileTrail.

With FileTrail, your clients can:

  • Automate retention policies and reduce the burden of compliance
  • Confidently meet outside counsel guidelines
  • Remove redundant or outdated content at scale

Together, CAM and FileTrail provide a comprehensive solution from matter creation to data destruction, helping your clients stay secure, compliant, and in control.
