Finding a Document Management System That Fits
Many types of law firms (personal injury, disability, traffic law, etc.) are growing by taking more cases to closure. This creates unique document management problems that can adversely affect the bottom line. As new clients are added, there are agreements to be signed and filed. Sensitive medical records are requested, received and filed. Court documents and schedules are filed and managed. Deposition, settlement and subrogation documents are created or received ' then filed. Reports are created and used to measure performance. Employees are hired and managed. Suppliers send invoices. These are just a few of the typical law firm processes that require documents.
Growing a firm without updating the way documents are handled is costly and creates chaos. By consolidating all of these documents into a centralized Document Management Software (DMS) system, you have the ability to put documents at the fingertips of the right people at the right time.
