Hive in Action: A Day in the Life of Legal IT with the Full Suite

Legal IT teams are the unsung heroes of modern law firms. They manage access, enforce compliance, support attorneys, and keep systems running smoothly, all while navigating constant change. However, too often, their day is consumed by manual tasks, reactive troubleshooting, and fragmented tools. Imagine a productive, secure, and compliant day when legal IT has the right support. With Hive’s full suite, teams no longer spend time updating permissions manually, fixing broken migration links, or scrambling for audit reports. Instead, they gain control, visibility, and peace of mind. Let’s walk through a typical day powered by Hive.

Morning: Proactive Onboarding and Security Monitoring

The day begins when a new associate joins the corporate team. Rather than submitting a ticket and waiting for IT to manually configure access, Hive Govern automatically provisions the correct permissions based on role, department, and matter type. The associate is up and running in minutes, with access perfectly scoped to firm policy. At the same time, Hive Secure reviews overnight activity and flags an unusual event: a user downloaded an abnormally large number of documents outside business hours. The alert is immediately sent to IT and compliance, prompting a quick review. Real-time monitoring ensures the team can act before potential issues escalate.

Midday: Operational Oversight and Seamless Migration Support

As the day progresses, Legal Ops checks the firm’s recent NetDocuments migration. Using Hive Insight, they access workspace activity dashboards to monitor adoption trends. The data shows a healthy spike in usage, confirming the transition is on track. Meanwhile, attorneys continue using legacy bookmarks and document links. Hive Intercept automatically redirects those links to their new NetDocuments equivalents, preventing broken paths, eliminating IT tickets, and avoiding workflow disruption. This seamless continuity allows users to work without changing their habits.

Afternoon: Compliance, Cleanup, and Audit Readiness

Later, the compliance lead receives a request for usage logs related to an internal investigation. Hive Discover enables them to export a complete, timestamped record of user activity across relevant workspaces without manually retrieving logs from multiple systems. At the same time, IT applies folder cleanup rules using Hive Transfer. Outdated naming conventions are corrected, redundant folders are merged, and retention policies are enforced. The system becomes easier to navigate, more compliant, and less cluttered, benefiting all teams.

Experience the Full Platform

From onboarding to audits, Hive’s full suite empowers legal IT teams to work smarter, respond faster, and govern with confidence. If your team still relies on manual processes and disconnected tools, it is time to explore the full potential of Hive.
