The agency needs an application that can securely synchronize and share files, which is unbreakable but convenient for lawyers. Finding such an application is difficult.

Security is one of the important factors driving a paperless office. Companies are trying to eliminate waste, reduce costs, and develop more efficient ways of working. Companies that are drowning in paper piles and those struggling with digital ECM systems suffer from long-term inefficiencies, including poor project organization and lack of transparency, fragile file security, poor backup and file destruction, and inefficient staff division cooperation.
