Founded more than 100 years ago, San Francisco-based Morrison & Foerster has grown to become one of the largest law firms in the world. Early in 2001, Morrison & Foerster started to search for a technology or a production tool it could use to deliver video-based training presentations and corporate communication directly to staff and attorney desktops. At that time, live presentations and teleconferences were a common format for delivering training and communication content. Staff had to travel to most training events or miss the live presentations altogether. If a professional development event was scheduled during a busy work cycle, lawyers had to make a choice between receiving training in a timely manner or taking time away from their clients. Naturally, clients would take precedence. In 2002 the firm returned to the quest for an online training system, and the technology services department began testing Microsoft Producer. The free add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 has proven to be a perfect tool for Morrison & Foerster to easily capture, synchronize, and publish audio, video, and slides.
