Document Management for
the Legal Industry
Law firms invest their intellectual
capital, research resources, and most valuable asset –
time – to provide service to their clients. The results
are usually in the form of documents. How do you manage,
share, secure, distribute, and back up these vital
assets?

PaperWise
Let us provide the platform to dramatically increase
your firm’s efficiency and billable time.

Powerful Search Capabilities
Do you find yourself trying to recall a particular case
for use as a reference? Do you need to find all
references of specific language? Can you find all
records for a particular client by year?
With PaperWise, you can create custom
indexes that allow any piece of knowledge to be
searchable. Our full-text cataloging engine runs Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) on scanned documents to
“read” images and make all content searchable.

custom fields you define |

information using our full-text Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) engine |

documents based on any combination of keywords,
wildcards, or ranges |

searches for repeated use and easy access |
Integration
Does your staff duplicate data entry into two or more
systems? Do you waste time searching for documents in
more than one place like your management system, file
room or offsite storage? Do you wish you could find
everything regarding a matter in one place?
PaperWise integrates tightly with
your legal management system’s events to increase
document indexing accuracy and eliminate data entry
duplication. Document retrieval is accomplished with a
single keystroke from your current system.
 | Simply scan your documents, call up the matter
in your management system, and index with a single
hot-key |
 | Documents are indexed automatically without
manual data entry or errors |
 | All case-related documents can be retrieved with
a single keystroke from your management system |
 | PaperWise manages any file type including Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, email, picture and voice files to
create a single repository |
Retention & Archive
Do you currently have staff sorting through boxed
documents trying to purge outdated or unnecessary files?
Are your storage costs inflated because it is nearly
impossible to determine what can be purged? Do you
retain every document “just in case”?
PaperWise provides a powerful set of
tools to move or purge documents automatically. Unlike
other systems, PaperWise does not rely on a fixed purge
date. Because retention policies and requirements can
change, the PaperWise system uses adaptable rules to
process archives or purges on a document-by-document
basis with consistency, accuracy, and flexibility.
 | Automatic document life-cycle management |
 | Consistently provide retention compliance for
all documents in your company |
 | Eliminate exposure from retaining information
beyond requirements |
 | Automated processes require no additional labor
|
