Omtool Continues Momentum in Advanced Document Solutions for Legal Market

ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omtool™, Ltd. (OMTL.PK), the trusted provider of document capture, fax and workflow solutions, continues its focus on providing solutions for the legal market to meet its top challenges by making better content connections. In addition to its records scanning solution that is garnering great attention and adoption rates, the company will demonstrate its comprehensive solution suite at ILTACON 2016 at Booth #800, the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland, from August 29- September 1.

The company’s document solutions are increasingly driving significant business impact, as evidenced by deployments, specifically for records at several large law firms; Jackson Walker LLP, Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker P.A. (“Shulman Rogers”), and Post & Schell P.C. In its drive to create a “Paperlight” office environment, Jackson Walker leveraged AccuRoute to reduce paper records storage by 80%. Shulman Rogers transformed their Trusts and Estates Department by undertaking a records scanning initiative that made nearly 20 million documents universally accessible, enhancing client service. Post & Schell deployed Omtool’s AccuRoute to create a digital mailroom, enabling lawyers to access their mail in real-time, regardless of location. They also scanned records to reduce paper storage space by 75%.

With a focus on records scanning, Omtool has seen one firm, Shulman Rogers convert 20 million documents into files that are fully text searchable, and easily accessible to staff. This resulted in overall cost savings, lower onsite storage requirements and improved workflow. Omtool expects this trend and corresponding momentum to continue.

“Our proactive records scanning project saved our lawyers and staff countless non-billable hours and has dramatically improved our service level sand overall client experience,” said Robert Baumgarten, CIO Shulman Rogers, “AccuRoute – together with iManage – alleviates our most troubling document management problems and works seamlessly to put us on the right path toward greater efficiency.”

With a strong foundation built on Omtool’s AccuRoute platform, the suite of solutions offers firms a cost-effective and efficient way to streamline specific document workflows related to:

Records Scanning
Paperless or Paperlight Firm
Digitizing the Mailroom
On-Demand Capture
IP Document Handling, and more

“In today’s fast-paced environment, law firms need to not only streamline their workflows to increase efficiency, but support remote employees and foster collaboration through instantaneous access to documents,” said Karen Cummings, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Omtool. “As the desire to go paperless or paperlight continues, we will continue to partner with law firms worldwide to offer a reliable and transformative technology.”

As validated by the recent success stories, Omtool continues to prove its commitment to the legal market by offering new, user-focused solutions driven by base of legal clients. These solutions will be showcased during demonstrations at booth #800 and during one-on-one sessions in Omtool’s Solutions Suite.
