NetDocuments

NetDocuments has been around since 1999 and was in the Cloud before we knew what the “cloud” was. Being cloud-based, NetDocuments helps firms reduce costs and increase productivity with enterprise search, built-in disaster recovery, reduced technology infrastructure costs, the highest level of security, and any-time access on a modern platform that scales to both small and large firms alike.

While remote access to premise-based technology is quite good these days, having a native cloud-based DMS/EMS application makes it as simple and secure as it can be to access your document and email repository any time, from anywhere.

NetDocuments offers a powerful suite of tools for document creation, organization, and editing, including integrations with Microsoft Office applications. Combining these powerful tools with easy to use features and applications for users of all skill level will allow for smarter document management within the office.

It is OTB’s belief that the future is all about email management, even more so than document management. Reports indicate that legal DMS/EMS are now tracking far more emails (ratios reported as high as 15-1 all the way up to 100-1) than documents. It goes without saying that NetDocuments is way out in front of the email management curve.

• Current integration – NetDocuments Email Management Service (EMS) allows you to intelligently save, file, and manage emails through a seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook. Emails are dragged or tagged to native Outlook folders, and a copy is then sent to the matter, client, or project-centric repository in NetDocuments, organizing documents, emails, attachments, and other content into a single location. In particular, the ability to drag and drop emails to Outlook folders, and predictive tagging of emails that are then saved to NetDocuments makes it about as easy as it can be to manage the overwhelming amount of email that attorneys receive.

• Future integration – NetDocuments isn’t resting on its EMS laurels. In early 2015 they acquired Decisiv Email and its development team. Decisiv Email is the most powerful email management solution in the market. Its advanced predictive algorithms are far ahead of any other competitor. Combining Decisiv Email with NetDocuments will result in the most modern and intuitive matter-centric content management solution ever made available to the legal market. You can see the Decisiv integration in the NetDocuments Service Overview video, below, beginning at 8:52. While this integration is currently available only to very large firms due to cost and equipment, in the next few years we will see this level of firm-wide, predictive management of email available as part of the NetDocuments service in the cloud.

NetDocuments was founded by Ken Duncan, Lee Duncan, and Alvin Tedjamulia in 1999 after selling their previous company, SoftSolutions. SoftSolutions was a leader in traditional server installed document management software. After capturing over 50% of the worldwide document management market, SoftSolutions was purchased by Wordperfect prior to the Wordperfect acquisition by Novell in the early 1990’s. Having sold their company and after briefly working for Novell, the original three founders created NetDocuments with the vision that cloud computing would be the superior model for delivering document management software to the enterprise. Through over a decade of growth, NetDocuments is currently used by thousands of businesses across the globe, accessing NetDocuments’ US and UK datacenters that manages many billions of documents and emails.
