How many times have you said . "Where did I save that document?" . or . "I know that someone did this research a while back, if I could only find it!"

Document Management Software (DMS) automatically organizes your documents using certain criteria that you define so that you will never "lose" another document. It offers extremely fast save and retrieve functionality, handling numerous document types, including word processing, research, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Every word of every document is indexed so documents, spreadsheets, emails and/or PDF's can be saved and then located in only seconds.

You can search by date, author, text, profile or any combination thereof using Boolean logic and your documents are located in seconds. Most importantly, it forces every user to save documents within the firm's system so documents are saved where they are supposed to be . not on the desktop or local hard drives where they are usually lost and never backed up.

Document Management Software is also a key element in helping law firms move to a more paperless environment. With its ability to save and index law firm research and scanned images (U.S. mail, research, articles, etc.), DMS systems can make the paperless journey much more convenient and provide peace of mind that those "cyber documents" will not be lost in "Technology Neverland."

Web components of DMS software also provide access via internet access to any or all of your documents. This is a fantastic way to search, check-out, and check-in documents while away from the office.
