Legal

value Legal services manage enormous volumes of documents which must be kept secure and confidential. All the cases they handle are document intensive including briefs, motions, supporting records etc. Therefore, administrators and attorneys spend a lot of time coping, filing, retrieving and modifying versions of documents. They also devote more and more expensive space on stacks of file cabinets for file storage.

In addition to the time spent in retrieving documents, a lot of valuable resources were wasted on the non-billable manual process such as time sheet, travel and expense approval etc. In fact, these precious resources should not be spent on these non-billable tasks, but on serving clients.

Asta document and workflow management solutions let the company increases the available billable hours by turning the paper-based content into searchable digital files and automating the manual processes using business process workflow. Users can get instant access to the required information via the web. They can store and share the content in one secure, central repository where it can be easily searched and retrieved using case numbers, clients name, filings or even full-text search by those with permission. Moreover, all previous versions of an identical document are saved in history and can be retrieved easily. The systems can also alert the right people when new content was added. Therefore, secretarial workload, paper and storage cost is greatly reduced.

The workflow solution allows documents created, circulated, reviewed and approved by attorneys, offices, clients and courts easily and effectively by automating the manual processes. Productivity is thus enhanced. The workflow solutions which are commonly used nowadays in the legal services include:
