The Benefits of Document Scanning and Management Services for Legal Organizations
Privacy Protection
Privacy is critical when handling legal information. Legal document management software helps maintain compliance with privacy laws and preserves attorney-client privilege. Document access levels can be assigned to determine how users can interact with each file. Files are encrypted and can be password-protected for additional security.
Matter Management
Our software provides tools for lawyers to gather data, track, and assign work. You can track matters at every stage and configure workflows for matter intake and management. Your legal department will be able to function more efficiently and work collaboratively.
Cut Costs
Document scanning eliminates the need for excess paper, cutting costs associated with printing and physical storage. Reducing storage needs opens up valuable space in the office and lowers offsite storage fees. Less paper also reduces your carbon footprint and supports sustainable practices.
