DocsCorp plans order in the court

October 1, 2008: DocsCorp is teaming up with with LexisNexis Visualfiles in the UK to jointly develop an innovative document bundling solution for the legal profession.

The interface replaces the traditional file-system based document store of Alfresco enabling all content such as business records and documents to be stored in CAStor. End users store and retrieve documents using the standard Alfresco interfaces with no impact to their behaviour.

Due out on 1 November, it will allow legal professionals and administrators to enhance the quality of their court bundles and speed their workflow by automating the production process.

The LexisNexis Document Bundling module is designed to help legal practices within local authorities and private legal firms overcome the frustration of manually importing and collating large volumes of case-relevant documentation into bundles and then formatting and indexing them for electronic presentation and printing.

The standalone solution will incorporate advanced PDF creation functionality that will allow users to create PDFs from any application, combine multiple documents into a single PDF, and markup PDFs with drawings and annotations and redact sensitive information.

Edouard Tavernier, VP Strategy and Workflow Solutions, LexisNexis Visualfiles, said, "The production of court bundles is a very real business issue. Not only is it time-intensive given the copious amount of paperwork that is generated to demonstrate evidence, but there are strict compliance directives on how this documentation is produced.

“This solution, underpinned by our in-depth understanding of legal processes and DocsCorp's exceptional expertise in providing PDF solutions, will enable legal professionals to prepare these bundles within minutes, as opposed to hours and days.

"We are looking forward to working with DocsCorp. Their grasp of business issues in the legal sector, the quality of their software and their speed and responsiveness makes them an ideal partner for this solution and potentially many more in the future."
