Manage All Your Information More Effectively

Paper case file folders can be difficult to locate and update, and frequently impede information exchange among attorneys, file clerks and secretaries. With Laserfiche, you store all your information—including scanned paper documents, e-mails, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, digital audio and video files, photographs and PDFs—in a central, secure repository, so staff can easily locate and share information.

• Quickly and easily access, add and update case file information, regardless of format.
• Enable multiple staff members to access and work with the same case file simultaneously.
• Assign templates to each file type to simplify document sorting, search and retrieval.
