Consulting & Strategy
A project like this can be overwhelming. If you feel you don’t know where to begin, Hubbard One provides assessment and design offerings to help you focus your efforts and create a plan of action. Hubbard One will create an assessment program for you. We begin by meeting your key stakeholders and gaining an understanding of what goals you want to achieve with a new intranet. Based on that direction, our staff conducts user interviews and requirements sessions with your employees in selected offices. This allows us to understand what the key challenges are within your organization.
Based on assessment feedback, Hubbard One will create a plan to get you from Point A to Point B, and will provide insight on how and when to approach certain features and functionality based on a combination of a firm’s needs and their readiness to implement it.

Technical Architecture
Hubbard One prefers Microsoft SharePoint as the portal framework for our intranets. Microsoft SharePoint allows us to take data and functionality from applications across a firm and provide access and unique combinations within the firm’s intranet. This functionality and data allows us to create a user experience firmly grounded in the day-to-day workflow of each firm and intranet user. Our intranets are fully integrated with Hubbard One’s Marketing Database and allow you to leverage content that may exist on your website, such as attorney profiles. The flexibility of SharePoint also provides the ability to leverage your existing applications to tailor each intranet for your specific needs. Our approach to intranet solutions is validated by our certification as a Microsoft Gold Partner.
Integration Services
Our intranets are built on the same proven technology as many of the latest legal applications, so content that may exist on your website, alumni site or career site can be leveraged within your intranet. Matters, billing, contacts and time-tracking information can be included as part of intranet client pages. Proposal workflow and win/loss reports can be included in marketing user pages. Our integration services allow you to leverage content on any of your other web applications to create a customized, contextual intranet. Having worked with many of the world’s largest law firms, Hubbard One understands the sophistication and complexity of integrating technology. We work with clients to define and build custom integrations to fit their exact needs and requirements when our out-of-the-box offering is not enough. Hubbard One can help you with integration into your firm’s existing systems, including human resources software, contact management software or your firm’s intranet. We can also provide easy user authentication by passing through lawyer and staff network credentials so that logging in can be smooth and seamless. Our integration services also include standard application programming interfaces to ensure seamless communication between all of your Hubbard One software.
