First-Time DMS for Lindsay Kenney: The Choice Is Worldox
Lindsay Kenney LLP (www.lklaw.ca) is a full service Canadian West Coast law firm with approximately 50 lawyers and about 140 staff providing legal services from offices in downtown Vancouver and Langley, British Columbia.
For many years, the firm managed its electronic documents and files without a document management system (DMS) by using Windows Explorer to navigate folders and Windows Search to execute searches when needed. However, we reached the point where we had approximately 1.2 million documents (mostly Word documents) across both offices, sorted by year, client and matter, and were not searchable in an efficient way. We wanted to select a DMS that could easily store client-related e-mails in the same repository as the other documents, and provide efficient searching functionality.
