10 Reasons to Visit Project Fortress at ILTACON

You're the person attorneys call when a new AI tool needs a security review, or when the workaround they built quietly stops working. 

If you’re attending the world’s largest gathering of legal technology professionals this week – and any of these pain points feel familiar – come see us in the Startup Hub, Booth H14.

1. You're the one who has to vet and secure every new AI tool attorneys bring in.

Attorneys find a promising AI tool, and it lands on your desk for procurement review and a security sign-off. Fortress puts agents, drafting tools, and research inside one platform built on Salesforce, so you're reviewing one system instead of a growing list of point solutions.

2. Shadow IT is how your firm actually adopts AI.

When the approved tools don't fit how attorneys work, they build their own workarounds outside your visibility. Fortress Studio gives every user a sandbox to build their own agents and workflows, with a built-in pipeline for your team to review and publish what works, so innovation happens with your oversight instead of around it.

3. Institutional knowledge walks out the door when an attorney does.

Contract terms, deal history, and matter context often live in one person's inbox. Fortress.ai extracts and structures that information from every document into searchable data the whole firm can query, so the knowledge stays even after the person doesn't.

4. Attorneys won't use a tool that makes them leave Word and Outlook.

You can roll out the best AI on the market and it goes unused if it means learning new software. Fortress runs directly inside Word and Outlook, so attorneys get drafting help and email triage without changing where they work.

5. Every new integration becomes its own project.

Connecting a new AI tool to your DMS, email, and matter data usually means custom integration work on your end. Fortress is platform-first, built to connect to your existing legal tech stack from day one instead of getting bolted on after the fact.

6. One breach and every client relationship you have is on the line.

Law firms are a prime target, and sensitive matter data scattered across email, shared drives, and disconnected point solutions only widens the exposure. Fortress runs on Salesforce's enterprise-grade infrastructure, keeping documents, communications, and AI activity inside one governed environment instead of spread across systems you can't fully lock down. 

7. You can't answer when leadership asks how AI is actually being used.

Without structured data, measuring adoption or ROI is guesswork. Because Fortress runs on a single platform, usage, matter data, and outcomes live in one place, giving you a real answer when someone asks what the firm is getting from AI.

8. Every AI vendor wants your firm's data in a different place.

More point solutions means more places sensitive matter data has to live, and more surface area to secure. Fortress consolidates documents, communications, and AI into one Salesforce-based environment instead of a dozen disconnected systems.

9. Your lawyers are drowning in recurring tasks.

At Polsinelli, redline analysis, market trend analysis, and issues-list preparation got 80% faster on Fortress, and litigation drafting and research time dropped more than 30%.

10. You want attorneys to innovate, but you can't lose control of what gets deployed.

Balancing innovation with governance is the job. Fortress Studio's build-then-publish model lets attorneys build the tools their work requires while every firmwide release still runs through your team's review.

If any of this sounds familiar, come find us in the Startup Hub, Booth H14. We'll show you how it works.
