Going paperless isn’t just possible: its a good idea.
Going paperless eliminates clutter and ensure your firm and matter documents are organized and searchable. The challenge: There are definitely right and wrong ways to go paperless.
Modern law firms need more than just simple document storage.
The Wrong Way:
On-Premise File Servers
Maintaining an onsite file server is expensive, painful and still doesn’t meet the robust file management needs of most law firms. On-premise file servers:
Require constant maintenance, upgrades and repair
Are not accessible from outside your office
Do not provide matter-centric organization
Do not provide document management functionality
The Wrong Way:
Consumer-grade Cloud Storage
Simple cloud storage applications, like DropBox, Box, OneDrive and Google Drive give you accessibility of the cloud, but lack legal-centric features. Consumer-grade cloud storage:
Lack matter-centric organization of documents
Lack Document Management functionality
Cannot manage documents + email in one place
May store data outside the US
The Right Way:
Cloud-based, Matter-Centric Document Management
Cloud-based, Matter-centric Document Management.
Your law firm needs Uptime LegalWorks, a cloud-based, matter-centric Document & Email Management System. LegalWorks includes:
