Law firms around the globe are starting to embrace the value of digitizing paper documents and properly formatting and storing documents that come into the firm electronically. Electronic documents cost far less to store, are better from a disaster recovery perspective and with proper protections more secure than paper. The biggest benefits, however, come from productivity gains from being able to search, find and share documents and collaborate more effectively.
To achieve maximum possible productivity, best practices dictate that scanned documents, whenever possible, be routed automatically to a firm’s document management system (DMS) rather than simply emailing a scan back to yourself or delivering to your desktop. Doing so is the best way to ensure these new electronic documents become part of the firms’ regular information governance processes.
