Document Management for Legal Practices and Law Firms
IMS offers a legal document management system that provides a secure, easy to use and affordable solution for organizing, managing and
tracking the important documents, information and processes typical in a legal practice or law firm.
Support for any type of legal document
Any type of legal document or information is supported including forms, client records, case files, contracts, pleadings, depositions,
resolutions, legal research, and so on. In addition, generic business documents associated with the basic day-to-day operations of the
practice can also be managed and tracked. Email and paper documents are seamlessly supported, including integrated scanning with OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) for generating “full-text”searchable PDF files.
Always locate the right document instantly when it is needed
Once stored in IMS all documents are indexed and searchable for instant retrieval, and access to the "right" document is assured due to IMS'
integrated version history that always provides access to the most up to date version, as well as older versions, should they be needed.
IMS eliminates the need for chaotic and hard to manage Windows folders with a flexible method of classifying and organizing documents by
any property or tag, such as client, matter, case, date, etc., literally any property can be defined and associated -- or tagged -- to any type
of document. No more searching for where to save a file, just save to the vault and tag.
A secure legal document repository accessible anytime,
anywhere
IMS provides the ability to easily set up permissions by document to ensure access only by authorized personnel;permissions can be set on
an individual basis or by groups, such as "Visible Only to Partners" or "Read-Only to Everyone, Editable by Management," with support for
Microsoft Active Directory. IMS also maintains a complete log and audit trail making it easy to view and verify all document activity.
Remote access is supported should a document be needed when out of the office, and documents can be accessed offline even when no
Internet access is available.
Automate document review and approval processes and
eliminate paper
Improve efficiency and productivity by letting IMS automate important processes such as contract review and approval and case filings, with
policies, assignments and notifications for deliverables, deadlines and legal obligations. Replace bulky filing cabinets and inefficient manual
processes associated with handling paper documents with automated scanning, classification and workflow for dramatic improvements in
productivity.
