How can a law firm or legal department benefit from Electronic Document Management?
Law firms and legal departments use document imaging to keep track of case and client files. Attorneys benefit from the convenience of shared information and expedited search and retrieval efforts when finding key documents in the discovery process. Additionally, documents needed for court can be accessed either via a wireless connection, or by taking them with you on a CD or DVD. This eliminates the hand-cart carrying of box after box. It also eliminates the chance of a lost or misplaced file. Finally, because you pay for Electronic Document Management by the page, it is a quantifiable, billable commodity. Sensitive or confidential files can be encrypted and password protected as needed. Electronic Document Management is a “bridge” application that can span multiple specialty applications that you may have running in your organization. That is, it can support accounting, practice management, personnel, etc. with document rendition upon demand without regard to the source application.
