"1,477 LAW FIRMS AND HOME OFFICES PROVE 'THE PAPERLESS OFFICE' IS
FINALLY HERE"
LEARN HOW FROM OUR NEW EBOOK,
"BE PAPER-FREE - THE PAPERLESS HOME OFFICE"
(THE QUICK papers were on my desk, on my floor and scattered all
around my office.
I was always running around looking for papers that weren't where
they should be. And I always felt about one step from missing some
deadline.
I was spending way too much time chasing paper. Sound familiar?
"Slow And Steady Wins The Race"
Several years ago, our firm was chosen as one of three firms to
participate in the Court's Electronic Case Filing pilot program. We
had no idea what we were getting into.
Our firm was the technological "low water mark" in the pilot
program. And we always lagged behind the other law firms because they
had full-time IT people.
The program's administrative director called and asked how we were
doing. I said we were moving forward like a "herd of turtles." From
then on we were known as the "turtles."
Here's the happy ending - just like the Aesop fable, the turtles
kept running, eventually outpacing the rabbits and today we have a
nearly paperless office.
Now the rabbits come see us to find out what's new and exciting.
We tell this story to say - we know where you are now.
We know you suffer from "technology feature fatigue". We know you
don't have full time IT people in your budget. And we know you don't
have time to study 5-inch thick tech manuals to learn all you need to
know.

"Did You Know?"
Paper is cheaper in the beginning, but storage cost for paper is
huge. A four-drawer filing cabinet holds 15,000 to 20,000 pieces of
paper. It costs $25,000 to fill the cabinet and $2000 a year to
maintain it.
That doesn't include the floor space for the cabinets. The average
office has over 10% of its floor space taken up by filing cabinets.
Many of you have specifically designated file rooms.
None of us ever think about the costs of paper storage because it's
a gradual process; it just grows and grows.
Isn't it time to take back that space and put it to better use for
yourself and your family?
"Go Paperless - Go Green"
Here's an inconvenient truth - an "average" tree makes a little
over 8000 sheets of paper. One four-drawer file cabinet contains two
trees.
That's just what we keep. Put that with all of the paper we discard
and statistics show the average American uses 7 trees a year in paper!
Transition to a paperless office makes you an active part of the
environmental solution rather than part of the problem.
"Your Paperless Office Will Better Protect Your Documents And Data"
Some things we don't like to think about - fires happen; floods
happen; 9/11 happens. Now more than ever you must have your documents
and data safe.
93 percent of companies that experience a significant data loss are
out of business within five years. And 44 percent of companies that
experience a significant data loss never resume business. Yet, most
businesses spend very little time or money on business recovery
planning.
You need a business recovery plan - Your paperless office is your
business recovery plan!
A paperless office allows you to have multiple copies of your files
onsite and offsite. Should the unpredictable occur, damage and
disruption to your business would be minimized.
Unpredictable does happen. Last year they were doing some
renovations in a floor above my office. A plumber didn't disconnect
the water main and during the early morning hours my office was
flooded through the sprinkler system!
Yes, furniture and carpets were ruined, but our documents and data
were never in danger; because we had a copy of our data files offsite.
We worked from laptop computers until the physical damage was fixed.
Isn't this the level of security your business needs?
"Prevent ID Theft With Your Paperless Office"
There is the growing problem of identity theft. The last thing you
need is to have your personal information stolen from your computer,
or having a client's ID theft being traceable to a leak in your
office.
Our techniques and procedures will move you beyond mere
administrative log-ins (which offer little or no protection), to where
your digital system will enjoy the highest level of protection for you
and your clients.
Consider this - most of you have wireless systems on your desktops
and laptops. But having your unprotected information flying around in
the air is not a good idea.
Millions of wireless points are spread around the world. About 70%
of these are unprotected - wide open to anyone who happens to drive
by.
The other 30% are protected by WEP (wired equivalent privacy.
At a recent ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) meeting
in Los Angeles, a team of FBI Agents demonstrated current WEP-cracking
techniques and broke a 128-bit WEP in about three minutes.
If they can do it, you better believe the thieves are not far
behind. Don't worry; we'll show you how to protect your data to a
level of security that could frustrate the Feds and the most
persistent hackers (and it won't cost you an arm and a leg).
