No, it’s not “Saturday night”, it’s only Tuesday. But all of us at Eastern Legal Systems were excited by what we learned at the Legal Tech New York show, which began on Monday.
Our first stop was at the Worldox booth, sponsored by World Software Corporation. At LegalTech NYC Worldox formally announced the release of their Productivity Suite for Worldox GX2. Worldox already has the reputation for being the gold standard for document management software. Add in its ability to manage emails and what more could you want? Apparently, plenty – and they’ve given plenty to their users with this new add-on.
Do you circulate files for approvals, comments and revisions?
Check out the Workflow feature in this suite – it allows the user to set up routing for documents, soliciting approvals and reviews, and all within the program. No cover pages to be marked up, subjecting your important files to wrinkles and smudges. Users can monitor progress and optionally receive email updates on progress.
Do you schedule document-related meetings or set up tasks in Outlook?
Now you can do that within Worldox without having to switch over to Outlook – set up tasks and follow-ups without having to switch programs. Reminders are file-based, include links to the files, and can be sent to one or more participants. It’s easy!
Would you like to be alerted when a document or scanned file is added to Workox for a particular client – or by a particular user?
Receive automatic notification of actions taken with tagged files and folders – either by user or by group. This real-time feature follows document actions and changes.
How about being able to exchange instant messages with my colleagues?
The new Chat feature inside of the Productivity Suite allows you to instantly communicate with colleagues in a secure environment, within your organization’s firewall.
I’d like to be able to compare versions of our documents.
The compareDocs feature gives the user the ability to compare Microsoft Word documents and choose whether the output should be redlined, or use the option to Track Changes , with the resulting output in Word or .PDF format. You may also choose to upgrade to the Professional Version of compareDocs to expand this feature to .PDF and scanned documents.
I’d also like to create PDF documents without having to invest in a separate software program.
The Productivity Suite includes core features from the bestselling software, pdfDocs, which fully integrates into Worldox and Microsoft Office. Now you can create, combine, secure and save your documents without having to invest in yet one more piece of software.
The Productivity Suite works with Worldox GX2 to help you do more and work even smarter. You can read more about this on the Worldox site at http://www.worldox.com/news/Worldox-Productivity-Suite
