Going Matter-Centric With Interwoven WorkSite 8
Ideally, most of an attorney's time will be devoted to the needs of clients. In the real world however, attorneys can waste valuable hours every week searching for content and wrestling with hard-to-use software for hours ' hours that come at the expense of client service and responsiveness. At Meyers Nave, our efforts to maximize productivity and efficiency began with the implementation of Interwoven WorkSite. This, in turn, led to further productivity gains with the other tools our attorneys use. Now, by upgrading to Interwoven's matter-centric WorkSite 8, we will achieve yet another level of improvement, helping us stay ahead of the competition and providing our clients with the best possible service.
Time is Money
Back in 2002, although we were already providing great service to our clients, we still saw the potential to do better. We surveyed our attorneys to measure how well they were using tools we had installed, and discovered that they were spending at least 45 minutes per day searching for documents in the Microsoft folder structure that we had in place at the time. By its design, this folder structure allows documents to be moved, renamed or saved over, which meant we had to go to backups to recover documents. As a result, it was often taking much longer than it should have for our attorneys to find the content they needed. I pointed out to our managing partner that if we could shave just 6 minutes from this process ' which was a conservative goal ' that we would save 26 hours per year per person, or almost 3000 hours firm-wide. That was all he needed to hear to understand how WorkSite could positively affect our business.
