Technolawyer’s Guide to Document Management Systems

“Manual” systems for managing the myriad documents which pass through the doors of even the smallest law firms can – and frequently do – lead to all sorts of missed deadlines and other mishaps. Commercial document management systems are designed to address the common issues law firms face in dealing with this essential element of day-to-day practice management.

Technolawyer has published a report, authored by technology consultant John Heckman, which addresses the basics of  document management systems (DMS’s) and provides some insight into how to select a system that will work best for you.
