Client
"Our clients have instant access to their documents without having to make requests of us. That means we deliver better client service, and it's a competitive advantage." -Paul Hess, Attorney, Kegler Brown Hill & Ritter "Not only is it easier for us and the client to post drafts into NetDocuments for their review and signature, their documents are now always available to them online with anytime access. So in case they are traveling or immediately needing their medical documents, they simply access NetDocs online and provide them to their doctors. We have even given our clients a small card describing how to access their NetDocs account." -Zell Law Reston Virginia

"In the past our group in IT spent most of our time supporting our former DMS and not focusing on the people. The most significant thing about NetDocuments, and the change it has done for us in IT is, that we now support the people, and no longer need to support the product that the people use."
-Kevin Black, IT Director, Parsons Behle & Latimer. "Working with ND has not only exceeded my expectations, but has actually made the lives of the firm's IS staff much easier. No longer do they have to spend countless times looking for lost or corrupted documents and then having to apologize to a sometimes not so happy user."
-Arthur Lesser, CIO, Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith
