The Challenge

Five office locations with different IT networks made sharing data difficult

A high-profile employment and personal injury law firm, the Bell Law Group has expanded through growth and acquisitions over its twenty-year history to have offices in five different cities across the U.S. Its lawyers often move from one office to another, depending on client requirements, and need to share and process documents between offices on a daily basis.

However, the fact that each location had a separate IT network and disparate software solutions made document access, sharing, and processing a struggle. Lawyers might use software capabilities at one location, for example, to convert, redact, or translate documents only to find they were not available or were totally different at another location. Such gaps could inspire staff to use unauthorised tools to accomplish those processes, costing time and resources and leaving the group open to possible security risks.

The firm needed a way to allow its attorneys and staff to easily access documents across all offices with a single, simple environment. It also needed a solution that would let its staff access the same document processing tools wherever they were working.

And In light of the fast-paced demands on its firm, the group was seeking a simple solution that would not require substantial user training and would work with the infrastructure it already in had in place.

A longtime customer of Xerox, the Bell Law Group sought help from Xerox™ Business Solutions in finding a solution.
