Caching for Microservices Solution Brief
Redis Enterprise was designed and built with many of the same core principles that guide microservices architectures: agility, resilience, scalability, and flexibility.
This alignment makes Redis Enterprise an ideal caching solution for microservices applications. But not only does Redis Enterprise align with the strengths of microservices – it also helps overcome two key microservices challenges: complexity and latency.
Guide to Implementing or Changing Legal Software
Deciding to change the technology your firm uses to manage cases, clients and billing requires commitment to see the process. Quite frankly, it’s not always easy. If your team is accustomed to working with a certain type of legal practice management software, change is difficult, even when everyone acknowledges that doing so is necessary.
If you're stuck and unable to move forward with transforming how your law firm uses technology, this guide will help you navigate the process. Along the journey, remember to give yourself and your team credit. Make no mistake, staying up to date with technology is no longer optional; it is a requirement.
What Is Case Management Software?
For decades, lawyers in the U.S. depended on typewriters and telephones to run their businesses. Other industries utilized the same technologies. There was nothing out there that catered specifically to the legal profession.
Case management software (used interchangeably with LPMS) has been around for decades, but some law firms have not yet transitioned. Unfortunately, a failure to at least explore the benefits of LPMS puts law firms at a severe disadvantage — especially in an era when most firms are working at least part-time in a remote setting. Let's explore some of the most significant benefits of legal practice management software.
2022 Legal Practice Management Software Buying Guide
It’s never been a secret that law has historically been slow to evolve and adapt alongside other professions. When Smokeball released the last version of this guide, “Is Legal Practice Management Software Worth It?” we acknowledged that many firms still avoided change due to fear or stubbornness. Such firms could still maintain their status quo without the help of software.
In 2022, the question of worth no longer applies: Legal practice management software is a necessity, not a nice-to-have. The shift to remote/hybrid law offices is permanent, and attorneys must permanently shift their mindsets and processes to keep up — and keep ahead.
Smokeball understands that legal practice management software is a major investment of your firm’s money and time. Because we want to give you the most value and productivity for your investment, we updated this guide to reflect the reality of 2022. The legal landscape has shifted significantly since you started your practice. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity together.

Cooking with Tidelift
When cooking for friends or family, many of us go out of the way to seek the freshest, tastiest ingredients possible. You may have favorite producers at the local farmers market, or brands from the grocery that you've come to know and trust. But when choosing the ingredients that make up our open source applications, we often bring in new libraries without any guarantees that they are safe and well maintained.
We wanted to distill the idea of managing open source down to something so simple, you could explain it to a child, so that’s why we wrote a children’s book about enterprise open source software management. Yes, we just used the phrases “children’s book” and “enterprise open source software” in the same sentence.
We call it Cooking with Tidelift, and it will show you how we can help you create catalogs of known-good, proactively maintained open source components to ensure your apps are as safe and healthy as they can be.
Log4Shell, Open Source Maintenance, And Why SBOMs Are Critical Now
Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer and guest speaker Forrester Principal Analyst Sandy Carielli discussed some of the key lessons organizations can learn from Log4Shell along with some critical recommendations organizations can use to prepare for handling similar issues down the road.
Sandy and Donald talked about how enterprise organizations should:
- Use software bills of materials to better understand and manage their open source software supply chain.
- Enhance their visibility of the open source components being used and the associated transitive dependencies.
- Focus on proactive open source maintenance and how to better prepare their teams to quickly mitigate the risk of future vulnerabilities.
- Consider the role open source maintainers play in risk planning and mitigation.
Ten Steps For Preparing a TOGAF Project
A large number of enterprise architecture (EA) projects fail to realize their initial goals, despite the use of good architecture frameworks and methods. TOGAF is one of the most widely used EA frameworks and is trusted by hundreds of large organizations, but by itself does not guarantee success. Effective preparation can make all the difference.
This poster will go through 10 steps that an enterprise architecture team should take priority to embark on a TOGAF project. Embracing these steps can deliver better comprehension of initiatives, full stakeholder buy-in, and an understanding of the position of an EA project relative to the wider organization and industry.
