Stop Losing Important Documents!

Are you constantly loosing important documents to misplacement? Are loose papers cluttering and consuming office space?  Are you spending hours looking for specific documents and having no luck?  Its time to adopt a document management system!

Document management systems allow growing companies to successfully move forward with production at its peak.  These systems are to replace the filing cabinets encroaching on your personal space, with a more productive and efficient way to run the office.  A document management system is a computer system used to track and store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents.  Although these systems were initially created to control organization of the massive amounts of documents large companies were struggling to file, these systems have been formulated to accommodate small businesses as well.

A well-designed document management system is flexible enough to support both intense workflows and the storage of your documents. More importantly these systems will provide you with easy access to your documents, a powerful searching tool, and easy to use document browsing. The system can provide you with a powerful yet easy to use tool to control whom can access documents, whether or not they are allowed to edit the documents and whether the documents may be emailed. The system may also provide your organization with access to your documents from multiple electronics, web-based or from within common office applications.

Whether your organization is large or small it is important to make the correct decision in choosing the right management system to suit your needs. Be sure to assess and determine how such a system can best accommodate the success of your company.

Key Features - Scanning Applications for Law Firms

 

Indexing - The application should allow for the entry of case and matter information, and this should allow you to automatically rename the files based on these values, and create folders. Rapid indexing features should allow quick entry of these fields for multiple documents.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - OCR takes the scanned image, and converts it to a text-based format. When looking at this feature, it should allow conversion to the following 3 formats: Adobe Image + Hidden Text, Word/WordPerfect and plain text. If you can test the software, see what type of results it provides with several sample firm documents.

Export - Depending on how you are managing your cases, the application should offer maximum flexibility on where you can direct the end product. I have several firms that use multiple case/document management systems, depending on the case type and size. Folder Export, Summation, Alchemy, SharePoint, etc should all be supported.

Bates Numbering - Get rid of that old stamp!! Most Advanced Capture Applications provide the ability to digitally Bates Stamp your documents. Huge time saver.

Obviously this is just a starting point, but these are some necessary features that will make processing documents easier, and much more efficient.
