Firms can be very concerned about scanning documents because once the documents are scanned and the electronic copies are saved, the original documents need to be destroyed. Deleting documents safely and effectively can be a daunting task for some law firms, and will incur additional costs if you use clipping services. While some of these law firms believe that investing in harvesting services adds unnecessary costs as well as risk and liability to their firm, the costs are outweighed by the need and risks and risks involved in maintaining paper records. The perceived responsibility is much greater. Maintaining paper records as opposed to creating electronic documents is detrimental to the productivity of a law firm. First, there are paper records, and when office space is maximized, these records must be kept in offsite storage facilities.
Transferring large amounts of
records containing sensitive data and information exposes the law firm to
errors, fraud and irreparable damages. In addition to the cost of housing paper
records and the offsite risks involved, there is also the aspect of natural
disasters occurring and destruction of records. Hurricanes, earthquakes and
fires can occur randomly and destroy entire collections of paper records, thus
destroying the information structure of a law firm. In contrast, electronic
documents as scanned backups are not affected by natural disasters and are
protected by a security encryption system. Fear of security breaches through scanning of legal documents Law firms
is often firms that are less technically inclined. Understanding how legal
documents are stored more securely in an electronic document management program
than in paper files are easily adapted through a deep understanding of the
process and utility of the technology. However, when there is a lack of understanding
of technology, a law firm not only stops scanning its legal documents but also increases the level of damage to its firm
by not being up to date with the technology. Unlimited copy services protected scanning software allows
authorized users to digitize hard copy documents and convert them into
electronic forms for easy sharing.
