Ellisons Solicitors had every piece of their digital transformation puzzle in place, except one — their document management system (DMS).

But finding a platform that would satisfy the team’s desire for flexibility and the firm’s security and compliance requirements was easier said than done.

Fortunately for John Turner, Ellisons’ COO, NetDocuments checked every box (and then some). Not only did the decision sail through the firm’s two-stage approval process, they were able to pull off a seamless remote implementation and jumpstart adoption across the firm.

Now, Ellisons is well on their way to claiming all the benefits that NetDocuments has to offer while upholding their incredible legacy of innovation.

The Council of Europe (CoE) consistently produces highly sensitive documents with detailed reports, recommendations, studies, and judgements—all of which were becoming unruly and nearly inaccessible to staff between nine repositories, various field offices, and local services. The CoE’s leadership knew that in order to maintain control of their files, a modern document management system (DMS) was the only answer.

After a thorough and extensive proof of concept, CoE chose NetDocuments as their partner for the future. After a phased implementation with Tikit, a part of Advanced, the CoE was able to successfully migrate 35 million+ documents into their new cloud DMS—even during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Saffery Champness is a top 20 firm of Chartered Accountants and Registered Fiduciaries, operating for over 160 years.

For too long, the Firm was handling thousands of documents with confidential information, and utilizing several applications to support various service lines (e.g.  tax returns, and audits). Many of these also had their own document management functionality, which were limited and only worked in the context of the individual service line application. This meant documents became siloed, resulting in staff using email and folders to manage documents centrally.

To make its document and email management more efficient and to continue to deliver a great client service, Saffery Champness selected NetDocuments to provide a central and secure platform to share, manage and collaborate on documents.
