A recent TechnoLawyer article released on March 19, 2008 provides some excellent points about how lawyers can benefit from Software as a Service (SaaS) document management solutions. Many of the advantages of SaaS mentioned in the TechnoLawyer release include:
- fast, easy access to critical documents anytime, anywhere
- lower-risk implementation than traditional software
- business continuity, universal access and client document sharing
SaaS is in its early phases of acceptance. But, as educational as this article seemed to be, it turned in to a sales pitch for NetDocuments. When it comes down to purchasing a SaaS solution, ConXPoint delivers more bang for your buck. Here are some features that ConXPoint integrates that many other SaaS products, such as NetDocuments Basic, do not.
e-Signature
ConXPoint’s SaaS solution integrates an eSignature tool to enable you to obtain signatures on contracts and agreements without removing the document from its secure encrypted environment.
Without an eSignature solution, you run into workflow blocks that require you to remove the document from a secure vault in order to print, fax or ship the document just to get it signed. Not only is this inefficient, it’s time consuming, costly and increases the risk of information leaks.
ConXPoint eliminates this inefficient unsecure process by integrating electronic signature features that enable you to host signings, acquire witness signatures, and even sequential signatures if your document needs more than one signer.
Web Conferencing
Each ConXPoint Business Center comes with a free Microsoft Live Meeting license. This enables you to meet with co-counsel and internal staff or interview clients and expert witnesses online without traveling. You can also record these meetings if you choose.
Free Consulting and Training
Although the Business Center was designed for all users at every skill level, ConXPoint doesn’t sell you a SaaS solution and then turn you loose. ConXPoint provides free training for all licensed users and free consultation on how to maximize your return on your technology investment.
Additional ConXPoint features include:
- Branded Extranet Access
- Mass Import/Export of Documents
- Project / Matter Centric Workspaces
- Multiple Storage Cabinets (if you have access to another Business Center)
- Archiving – Deletion and policies to delete and archive
