Most law offices use a manual system for storing and retrieving documents, which often results in misplaced documents, missing documents, misnamed documents, and other mishaps. A document management system (DMS) can eliminate these problems, but how can you find the one best suited for your law firm?
Legal technology consultant and document management expert John Heckman recently penned a 25-page treatise on document management systems for law firms. To save you time, we asked John to distill the key points into an 8-page report — the first report available in the new TechnoLawyer Library, which we launched today.
This report, TechnoLawyer Buyer's Guide to Document Management Systems for Law Firms, discusses the problems a DMS addresses, and how to shop for and implement a DMS. As a bonus, it also contains four Courtoons about document management courtesy of cartoonist and lawyer David Mills.
