Simplify Processes with Intelligent Document Automation, Generation, and Data Capture

Enhancing Efficiency in Law Firms 

It is crucial for law firms to streamline their processes and workflows to keep up with the increasing demand for efficiency. One way to achieve this is through document automation.  A recent report* found that the most automated tasks included data entry (38%) and document creation and organization (32%).

Firms can save time and reduce errors by automating tasks such as drafting letters, forms, records, checklists, and contracts. Standardizing how data is captured and processed reduces the risk of human error by eliminating the need to rekey data into multiple systems. This can lead to less stress and increased productivity for knowledge workers.

Document automation and data capture offer significant benefits to firms looking to streamline their processes and boost efficiency, and it’s relevant to all functions across the firm. For example, McKinsey reported that in 2018 an estimated 56% of tasks performed by HR could be automated without drastic changes to processes**.

By automating repetitive tasks and generating documents from responses, knowledge workers across the firm can reduce the time and effort spent on manual document creation, leading to fewer errors and increased productivity. Additionally, document automation can capture valuable data from documents, enabling teams to analyze trends and patterns and make data-driven decisions. 

Kim recently hosted a webinar on document automation, generation, and data capture, providing valuable insights and practical tips for law firms. Some key takeaways included:

• Organize and Self-Serve Documents and Forms: Law firms can use document automation to organize and self-serve documents and forms both internally and externally. This helps streamline the document creation process and reduces errors.
• Collaborate and Safely Share Documents: Technology can help knowledge workers collaborate and safely share (and sign) documents with employees, clients, or suppliers. This improves communication and ensures that all parties involved have access to the latest version of the document.
• Generate Documents from Responses: Users can generate documents, first drafts, surveys, court forms, or questionnaires from the responses. This saves time and improves accuracy by eliminating the need for manual rekeying of data.
• Analyze Valuable Data Captured from Documents: Knowledge workers can capture valuable data from the content of documents. This helps law firms analyze trends and patterns, identify areas for improvement, and make better data-driven decisions.

By adopting intelligent document automation tools, law firms of all sizes can simplify their document creation and management process while reducing the risk of errors and omissions.
