From On-Prem Worldox to NetDocuments: Better Experiences, New Possibilities for 50-Lawyer Canadian Firm

The inability to access documents wherever and whenever they needed them and potential costs of maintaining hardware with their on-premises Worldox document management system (DMS) were key factors that drove Calgary-based Carbert Waite LLP to explore their DMS options.

Carbert Waite LLP is a midsize litigation law firm located in downtown Calgary, Alberta, with additional expertise in health law, employment law, mediation/arbitration, estate planning, and business law matters. The Canadian firm is known for providing clients with trusted insight and innovative solutions.

Carbert Waite had already begun shifting to the cloud by implementing Microsoft 365, and their practice management and accounting software had moved to a cloud suite. In late 2022, the firm made the switch from the on-premises Worldox document management system (DMS) to the NetDocuments cloud platform.

In this case study, Dylan Snowdon, Partner and Executive Committee member, shares insights into the firm’s journey, including:

  • Evaluation criteria and considerations, including on-premises hardware expenses, potential for improved efficiencies, an intuitive interface, and accessibility through mobile devices
  • Plans for a successful rollout and maximizing adoption – from communications to a pilot phase, training, and more
  • Quick wins, such as powerful search, flexible remote work, and support that delivers

Dylan explains, "That mobility piece, the ability to work remotely, not tied to a remote server — that has been a big improvement for our remote work."

Lee & Lee Turns to the Cloud for Greater Security, Flexibility and Resilience

Having the NetDocuments cloud-native DMS platform has been a game-changer for Lee & Lee, a top law firm in Singapore. They are experiencing significantly reduced storage costs, advanced security capabilities, and increased flexibility for storing, accessing, and working on documents.

Like most traditional Singaporean law firms, Lee & Lee was heavily reliant on paper-based processes, and any electronic files were stored in systems on-premises. When the pandemic hit, the firm knew it had to change its way of working to allow lawyers to remotely access important documents.

“We required a cloud-based document management solution that would support our journey to becoming a more flexible and resilient law firm that’s well-positioned to provide secure client services wherever and whenever they are needed.” — Toh Kok Seng, Senior Partner

Lee & Lee explored different technologies and chose NetDocuments. Partner Francis Lim noted, “Moving from primarily paper-based processes to digital felt a bit daunting at first, so we needed to ensure we were in safe hands.”

In this case study, leaders at Lee & Lee discuss:

  • How they rolled out their new cloud-based DMS within six months
  • Immediate benefits and cost-savings
  • Delivering a seamless client experience,
