At the International Legal Technology Association conference in Las Vegas last month Workshare announced the launch of  Workshare Professional 8, the latest update to their flagship product that’s been trusted by 62% of the Fortune 1000 for over a decade.

What’s New in Professional 8?

•    Secure file sharing for business – including large file transfer capability

Professional 8 Secure File Transfer, which ensures all file sharing events are secured through policy enforcement, metadata removal and with no file size limitations, regardless of how files are shared.
