Document Imaging Solutions for the Legal Industry
Reduce costs and improve customer service
The legal industry is guilty of driving without due care and attention as it heads towards the adoption of technology. There are few other sectors where the creation, management and storage of paper-based material is so central to procedures as the legal profession. Even small private practices continuously generate a staggering amount of physical documentation.
Building case documentation and documenting court proceedings is by its very nature a process that has to be accurate, secure and readily available. The small steps that have been made towards some kind of automation tend to be limited to audio-transcription; a tedious and costly manual process.
Times are changing, though; the adoption of PDF as a legally-recognized file format of choice for sharing and archiving case information will help to bring about a more widespread use of technology. But while the benefits of PDF are well know — "perfect" document reproduction, password security, digital signatures and electronic markup tools — this in itself will not save the legal profession from drowning in paper.
Legal organizations and the courts themselves need to invest in solutions that can transform their paper-based workflows into electronic workflows. They need new processes that can handle the quick and convenient production of secure, confidential documents that can be shared, distributed and commented on across diverse applications, business processes, and platforms.
And of course, there’s great pressure on doing all this without the traditional reliance on large administrative support teams.
Which is where OmniPage, PaperPort and PDF Converter from Nuance can help. This is a family of world leading "productivity applications" that vastly improve the way in which paper and digital documents are processed, archived and shared. Their ease of use, wide compatibility and broad functionality mean they can vastly improve an organization’s productivity while delivering significant reductions in costs.
