Getting started on a paperless office
PDF for Lawyers has some pretty good advice on How to (successfully) switch to a paperless practice.
First, it's important to have a strong commitment. But sometimes commitment isn't enough. For example, if the attorney is not technically skilled he or she can quickly run into small problems that seem insurmountable....
If the lawyer is not technically skilled, but has a staff, it might be a good idea that the staff be in charge of getting the documents scanned, named, and indexed. That way, the lawyer can just call up the documents and doesn't have to be bothered with the day-to-day minutia of the scanning operation.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap 510 comes highly recommended. It's just a document scanner, and not a multipurpose piece of office equipment. It works for both Windows and Mac.
Then, if you need help getting the equipment set up, and/or implementing your system, considering consider hiring someone to come in. If you're in Springfield, Illinois, drop me an email. The main thing is that commitment to go paperless. Once that's done, the rest is icing on the cake and you'll never look back.
