July 2022 — Lawyers are drowning in unfiled and unmanaged emails siloed in their inboxes. Ideally, law firms would maintain accurate and complete client files by promptly filing each email and document into a client/matter workspace within a governed repository such as a document management system. But how should law firms manage this high-value, low-interest administrative task without costing the lawyer billable hours?
InOutsource sought a better answer to this question, and their quest led them to ZERO Systems’ intelligent email and document filing solution, Athena. InOutsource and ZERO are pleased to announce their partnership to address this critical information governance problem.
How InOutsource Advises Clients to Manage Emails
InOutsource offers unmatched expertise in information governance for law firms. InOutsource specializes in helping its clients meet stringent compliance requirements, enhance internal productivity, and improve profitability through policy creation, process refinement, and technology implementation.
InOutsource has seen up close the challenge email poses for law firms. Leaving email in unstructured individual inboxes impedes collaborative client service, as most of the team may be in the dark about the latest client communications. This disconnect leads to redundant communications and uncoordinated responses—not what a top-tier law firm wants its clients to experience. InOutsource advises its law firm customers to avoid these problems by filing their emails within their central client information system, typically their document management system. But firms still needed a streamlined, simplified method to implement that advice.
