How to Survive The Email Explosion

Why automation is the only solution to managing today’s flood of emails and documents

The Data Explosion has only begun

You experience it every day: the volume of email, documents and electronic messages in your law firm is surging; your clients are demanding greater efficiencies; and the tools you use to store, manage and find information just aren’t working.

What’s more, it’s getting worse. Smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices are profoundly changing the way lawyers and admins work. No longer tethered to their desks, lawyers increasingly rely on email and mobile communications to develop and deliver information to their clients and each other.

The result: the number of documents and email is growing faster than ever. Email alone is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 7% for at least the next four years (The Radicati Group, 2014) and that doesn’t account for social media, texts and other important data sources.

Most Document Management Systems in the legal space weren’t designed to handle email

Worse yet, most document management systems (DMSs) used by law firms and departments were designed in the 1980s--before the Internet and mobile computing. As a result, many DMSs don’t accommodate email and that’s a real problem since 80% of an organization’s intellectual property is now communicated or stored in email (Gartner, 2014).

Plus, requiring lawyers to manually tag and file documents into a centralized system of predetermined taxonomies is completely impractical in todays’ fast-paced world of myriad data sources (emails, texts, web histories, billing records, phone message recordings, etc.) and rapidly changing laws.

You know what this adds up to: finding the information you need can be next to impossible.

Automating your DMS is the solution

Enter MetaJure. MetaJure was developed by experienced lawyers frustrated with the state of email and document management in their law firms and legal departments.

MetaJure is the next generation DMS that does all the work for the user. Lawyers no longer have to manually tag, profile, or upload documents into a secure centralized system because MetaJure does that automatically.

Automation eliminates the need for lawyers to be their own document and email file clerks:

  • Lawyers continue practicing without having to learn a new system or adapt to new rules;
  • Finding documents and emails is fast and easy thanks to powerful, state-of-the-art algorithms;
  • With access to 100% of their documents and emails, lawyers can quickly fulfill record retention and retrieval obligations and avoid associated ethics complaints and malpractice claims.

What’s more, Metajure:

  • Makes searches as simple and intuitive as searching the Web
  • Is accessible from any PC, tablet or smart phone
  • Is fast and easy to install and doesn’t require expensive data conversion

But, don't take our word for it; see for yourself:
