The majority of work performed in law firms is document focused. Pleadings, contracts, leases, deposition transcripts -- all client/matter work in progress must be readily accessible. Firms need a secure and scalable document repository that enables the responsible attorney and other appropriate designated parties (e.g. litigation team; client; opposing counsel) to access and work with electronic documents 24/7. Lawyers must be able to work remotely, via web-based access and hand-held devices, as well as collaboratively, in order to effectively perform client work and maintain client satisfaction.

eDOCS DM enables firms to take a matter-centric approach to creating, flexibly profiling, storing, managing, accessing and sharing documents.

eDOCS DM eliminates the mounting inefficiencies caused by the inability to manage documents as well as the “islands of information” prevalent in many global organizations. It helps control document-based knowledge assets by enabling users to capture, organize, locate and share business content in a secure, integrated, and intuitive environment. From documents, e-mail, graphics, and forms to discussion threads, engineering drawings, scanned paper and electronic-based records, content is consolidated in a unified enterprise knowledge base for easy access and retrieval.
