Dispelling the myths of moving to the electronic file

Electronic Document and email Management have been in common use in the legal sector for many years. Some firms have made it a strategic priority, while others continue to rely on traditional methods, such as paper files, shared drives and the old favourite – folders in Outlook.

If your team is currently relying on traditional methods, you may soon find this approach to be costly, disorganised and more difficult to manage, especially with teams sitting in disparate offices. Many law firms are adopting electronic document and email management solutions to allow them to better adhere to regulatory changes for information management and to cope with the exponential growth of email. These firms are reaping the rewards of the electronic file.
