Reducing Paper Storage Costs
Storage
expenses are a major expense for most law firms
because legal work resides on paper. The problem
is multiplied because of the copy machine. Firms
not only file and store original documentation,
they file and store copies of documents, and
the cost of storing this information continues
long after the useful life of the paper file.
A
major benefit of our document imaging system
to law firms is the ability to significantly
eliminate these costs. For example, the information
packed into a threedrawer filing cabinet can
be stored on one CD for a cost of under $1.00.
Personnel time to file documents is also reduced
because PDF files are filed from your desktop
PC.
The
U.S. Federal Courts Only Accept the PDF Format
One
thing is becoming more evident: law firms are
moving in the direction of filing cases electronically
in the PDF file format. After an intensive study
on ways to improve court processes and procedures,
the U.S. Federal Courts have concluded that
filing and sharing legal documents related to
court cases is faster, easier and less expensive
using electronic PDF files. To streamline courthouse
procedures, the U.S. Federal Courts developed
the Case Management / Electronic Case Files
(CM/ECF) project using PDF files as their electronic
document format. The CM/ECF system now allows
submissions and access to entire case files
and dockets in PDF files via the Internet. Therefore,
if you are going to be interfacing with the
U.S. Federal Courts, it will become necessary
for you to possess the capabilities of our document
imaging system.
