Lawyers have been creating and managing documents for centuries. It’s one of the things that’s most closely associated with the identity of being an attorney — they’re paper pushers!
But, as we’ve moved forward in time, it’s become far easier for law firms to manage documents, which has been helpfully buttressed by the rise of cloud software and the adoption of the paperless office model.
Even after all that, technology marches on, and the future looks even brighter.
In this episode of the NonEventcast, we talk with Elizabeth Vanneste of VIQ Solutions and Alvin Tedjamulia of NetDocuments about the past, present and future of document management.
To start things off, Alvin and Elizabeth discuss how they would escape a time loop … or, whether they would even want to. (2:00).
Then, Alvin covers the history of document management in the legal space (8:11), before making predictions for its future (21:02).
Elizabeth then takes the time to address how law firms and courts have increasingly begun to implement more document management technology (14:00), before addressing the potential for AI applications in the document and evidence management space (19:10).
If you want to get a handle on your document management program, knowing your history can help you define your future.
