With multiple offices and a growing law practice, it was hard to get information from one office to another without spending thousands of dollars annually on courier service. Handling as many as 25,000 cases each year made file handling and storage, especially with closed files, a cumbersome and expensive process. It was decided that going paperless was the best way to achieve the office efficiency they were lacking and would help them save money in the long term.
For Traffic Law Center, the primary goals were to address a variety of issues they felt would help increase office efficiency and productivity, meet compliance requirements and give a competitive advantage. These issues were distilled into six primary goals:
Traffic Law Center started searching for a document management solution the modern-day way, by browsing the web and seeking referrals from their current vendors. Eventually, they came across PSIsafe, and after learning more about the company and its offerings, found they also had a cloud-based solution called PSIsafe CLOUD.
PSIsafe CLOUD included all of the features and functionality which were required to meet their primary goals, but with the added benefit that they did not have to purchase a server and run the software on the internal network because it works via a SaaS subscription model. A key benefit traffic Law Center discovered with the PSIGEN solution was that utilizing a cloud-based solution, they received automatic software upgrades and system backups included as part of the service.
“Compared to other solutions available on the market, PSIsafe and PSIsafe CLOUD were more flexible and versatile, and could be fashioned to accommodate our specific needs.”
Since implementing PSIsafe CLOUD more than 7 years ago, Traffic Law Center has seen some pretty remarkable changes. For instance, the speed at which they can open a file and get the information to an attorney has gone from days to minutes. Through PSIsafe’s workflow feature they can avoid paperwork bottlenecks and monitor staffing needs. Traffic Law Center has vastly improved the quality of the documents that are prepared and mailed to courts, clients and colleagues.
Traffic Law Center has also seen a dramatic reduction in postage costs by implementing a procedure for email communication with their clients. Additionally, the “trace” and “reports” features of PSIsafe allows them to pinpoint problematic issues in workflow and productivity, and solve these problems factually rather than anecdotally, meaning, they can run the actual number of cases handled, log in and log off statistics, see who has work still in their workflow at the end of a day, etc., so that manpower can be allocated to various sectors of the practice.
In the end, it is all about client service. Their customers appreciate that they can call Traffic Law Center at any time and get the information they need, instantly. They do not have to wait for the staff person to go and retrieve a hard copy file, flip through it and provide the information they want. It’s click-click-click. Happy client!
