The Top Three Benefits of converting to an electronic document bundling system

Electronic blog graphic.png

It is no industry secret that many within the legal sector waste a significant amount of time creating documents manually for clients and court hearings. Following the mass migration to remote working, law firms have begun to digitally transform seeking new ways for their firms to continue operating efficiently.  

In an industry that traditionally operates with paper records adopting electronic systems can seem daunting. However, with e-documents firms can now operate from anywhere at any time and with increasing efficiency and reliability.  

We have identified three of the main benefits of migrating your law firm away from manual document budling to an entirely electronic bundling system: 

 

1. Increased Productivity 

One of the greatest benefits of electronic bundling is an improved workflow. According to McKinsey, employees spend 1.8 hours a day or 9.3 hours a week searching for documents. For paralegals, lawyers, and solicitors the time wasted searching through physical files and folders reduces the level of service they can provide to clients.  

This unnecessary time wasting can be almost eradicated with documents being managed electronically. With e-documents the required files can be accessed in minutes allowing for time to be spent on higher value tasks and clients.  

We’ve seen this first-hand. For example, our clients Knights plc have really noticed the benefits of transitioning to an e-bundling solution: “In addition to saving paper, there is also timesaving, which can be attributed to the technology, of course – and which in turn means a better experience for the person carrying out the task as part of their working day.”  - Senior learning and development trainer, Hilary Hallen.  

    

 2. Increased reliability and collaboration  

 

E-documents provide an added level of reliability that cannot be replicated by manual solutions. In the Briefing efficiency/competitiveness axis for 2021, collaboration technology, such as electronic bundling, came out on top. Files can be backed up and accessed from a central system whenever they are required. With physical systems when a document is lost, the data can no longer be retrieved.  

There are many implications of lost data – security being a primary concern.  

You may be surprised to hear that digital file management actually offers higher protection than traditional means. When choosing a provider look for ISO certification. This global certification is awarded to businesses that can prove their systems protect user information both internally and externally 

Updating physical files can be a time-consuming process. With automated solutions firms can re-adjust documents with new labels and information to ensure that they remain up to date, if and when inevitable changes need to be made.  

 

3. Improved employee and client satisfaction – a better place to work  

 

We know that employee satisfaction is important not only for retaining talent but to ensure firms can operate efficiently and maximise profits. Embracing electronic processes allows more time for employees to spend time on career enhancing opportunities and building client relationships. 

Clients have also become increasingly tech savvy and have ever increasing service expectations. In a recent article in Legal Futures it was noted that digital access to legal services will become the norm with over 75% of all 55–64-year-olds and 50% of over 65s now using the internet via a smartphone. These statistics are significant for those who operate in traditionally paper-based sectors, now is the time to move to digital tools and sooner rather than later.  

By adopting electronic bundling systems, law firms will be prepared to meet the requirements of their employees and clients in a digital centric world.

Gain Further Strategic Advantage For Your Firm By Integrating Cloud Solutions

Law firms must look at how they deliver and manage their information in order to remain competitive and resilient in the face of an ever changing technological landscape. Of course, cloud solutions can operate in isolation, with firms using one platform or another. However, we know from recent reports, such as McKinsey 2021, that cloud can become an important source of strategic advantage for firms, no more so than when firms embrace the full integrated capability of the cloud.

So how can law firms benefit from integrated cloud solutions such as the partnership between market leader in document and email management, iManage and leading e-bundling solution Bundledocs?

Some of benefits of embracing digital transformation and truly integrated cloud solutions include:

1.     Increased Flexibility & Reliability

In 2020, operational efficiency was the top challenge facing law firms. Utilising multiple cloud integrations can reduce the time you spend on everyday processes such as case documents, bundles and communicating with clients, positively impacting on scarce resources such as your teams’ time. For example, in a study conducted by Aderant, 82% of respondents said that cloud solutions had a positive impact on their document management.

 

Integrations allow for firms to be operated from any device, in any location. For some, this flexibility will allow for talent from other geographical locations to be hired. Cloud solutions can be adapted with a firm as it grows into the future. A study conducted by the Harvard Business Review found that business agility was the primary reason for respondents when choosing to adopt the cloud.

2.     Enhanced Competitiveness

77% of organisations believe that the cloud has given them an advantage over their competitors. By choosing to use more and more cloud based solutions firms can streamline their processes even further, saving them time and money. Reducing timely and repetitive tasks in turn enables firms to give more of their precious time to their clients, ultimately enhancing their service over the competition.

3.     Superior Security

The American Bar Association found that 76% of large law firms report that their clients want firms to implement more stringent security requirements. It is important that firms adopt a solution that will not compromise sensitive data but enhance their security and ability to adapt to security threats in the long run. Did you know that cloud solutions actually provide more security than on premise software? Verizon’s, Data Breach Investigations Report 2020 found that cloud assets accounted for 24% of breaches, compared to 70% of on-premise assets in 2020 alone?

At Bundledocs for example, our own cloud based solution was the first e-bundling tool to be ISO 27001 certified, safeguarding your data. Adopting a fully integrated cloud solution will no doubt simplify workflows without compromising on security.

 

Creating bundles is simple with Bundledocs seamless integration with iManage.

Take documents from iManage FileSite, DeskSite, iManage Work 10, iManage Cloud - or wherever you have documents stored. Bundledocs will convert all files to PDF and instantly create an organised, numbered, sectioned, tabbed and indexed document bundle. Immediately ready to securely share, access it online, collaborate or to print. It's easy to use, secure and highly reliable.

Cloud-First Services Are Key To Creating An Agile Offering For Your Clients

Bundledocs_cloud_first_services_are_key_to_creating_an_agile_offering_to_clients.png

We know that technology is moving at an ever increasing pace globally. This can bring both challenges and opportunities for organisations, not least additional costs and skill requirements.

According to a recent report from Dell and Intel, the industry leaders of tomorrow are already using technology to gain and maintain a competitive advantage over their peers. It’s well documented that Cloud first services can offer an important source of strategic advantage and transform digital capabilities for businesses.

What do we mean by agile? Put it simply it’s the ability to move quickly and easily or in a business context, it’s a companies’ ability to identify and adapt to new opposition by implementing changes quickly and effectively.

But how can cloud solutions create a more agile offering for your clients?

Cloud platforms can help your business to activate new digital customer experiences in days rather than months and enable your teams to work seamlessly and collaboratively from any location. A study conducted by the Harvard Business Review found that business agility was the primary reason for 32% of respondents when choosing to adopt the cloud.

Forward-thinking businesses have already begun to incorporate cloud into their risk-assessment frameworks and decision making on risk. According to a recent report from Mckinsey Digital executives have traditionally been nervous to move to cloud because of security concerns whereas the reality now is that the security offered by cloud service providers often outstrips companies individual capacity.

Take Bundledocs for example, we have been awarded ISO 27001 certification, the recognised international standard for information security – the only electronic document bundling software to have received this accreditation. The certification is awarded to businesses that can prove their systems protect user information both internally and externally.

At Bundledocs, demand for our paperless solution has increased by over 40% in recent months as Covid 19 meant remote working became the norm for so many professionals in the legal space and beyond. By switching to our cloud based solution they now benefit from continuous software updates with new functionalities and features added regularly.

Bundledocs market leading cloud software is the ultimate tool for today’s paperless lawyer, now sold in over 30 countries worldwide - once you take the first step, the sky’s the limit when it comes to the advantages of the cloud.
