Document Management Systems: Why Bother and How to Shop for One (Part 1 of 2)

By Sara Skiff | Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Coming today to TechnoFeature: Have you ever made a mistake or forgotten about something? If so, it's likely that your firm's manual system for storing and retrieving documents has caused you headaches thanks to misplaced documents, missing documents, misnamed documents, and many other mis-takes so to speak. You may benefit from a document management system (aka enterprise content management system), but where do you start? Earlier this year, legal technology consultant John Heckman penned a 25 page treatise on document management systems (DMS) for law firms. We asked him to distill the key points into two TechnoFeature articles. Today in Part 1, you'll learn about the problems that a DMS addresses. In Part 2 next week, you'll learn how to shop for and implement a DMS.
