A Business Intelligence Strategy

Legal practices are under pressure to not only improve performance, but also to reduce costs. The 2014 ILTA Tech Survey2 found 47 percent of legal professionals have yet to use a business intelligence solution, an effective tool to help firms drive efficiency and savings. Utilizing the insight from a business intelligence solution can help firms build transparency into their practice’s workflow, allowing administrators to be more proactive and respond with a greater deal of agility to the industry’s trends.

Canon’s broad portfolio of solutions for the legal sector includes robust multifunction systems with sophisticated metrics capture and reporting capabilities. The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE product line is designed to integrate seamlessly with uniFLOW, a comprehensive and scalable solution that provides enterprise class metrics and detailed reports and analysis. uniFLOW helps firms by capturing costs associated with billable activities such as print and copy and assign charges to the appropriate customer or project. The same data collected for cost recovery can also contribute to more extensive trend analysis and forecasting to help firms build their strategy.

To help legal professionals manage their document solutions investments, Canon will showcase its portfolio of solutions designed to help pinpoint workflow bottlenecks and areas of inefficiency relating to hardware placement and document workflow. Canon offers Managed Document Services (MDS) and imageCLASS Printonomics programs to assist organizations in effectively managing fleets of any size within large, mid-sized or small firms. Providing administrators with the tools to more effectively manage deployed devices, firms can easily provide detailed reports containing analysis and graphic representations these analytic tools help firms identify opportunities for cost reduction and improved asset utilization.

Process Management for Workflow Optimization

Canon understands the time constraints faced by legal professionals and knows firms require solutions that help eliminate time-consuming business processes. Document scan and print integration is a workflow optimization strategy that can help firms save time and transform documents into productive content.

Canon offers a variety of solutions to help law firms streamline case preparation, collaborate with their associates and integrate with some of the most commonly used document management systems. For broader workflow capabilities, uniFLOW extends its print, copy tracking and user authentication features to support integration, document capture and workflow processing capabilities being integrated with various third-party document management solutions such as iManage Work™, OpenText™, SharePoint™ and Box™.* Legal professionals using the WorldoxTM document management system can leverage the Scan to Worldox MEAP application to automate scanning documents with FollowMe favorites from imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices, as well as select imageFORMULA document scanners that can send documents to Worldox with the touch of a button3.

The sleek imageFORMULA Scan-tini Mobile Document Scanner is a powerful, lightweight device that conveniently fits on a desktop or in a briefcase to help legal professionals scan on-the-go. The imageFORMULA models can also wirelessly3 scan documents to mobile devices using the Canon CaptureOnTouch mobile app.4
