3 Scanbition Frameworks1. Scan and Retire the File Room

– Eliminate paper files and offsite storage– Inbound images scanned to the DMS for

active use

2. Targeted Scan Capture– Scan and Retire the File Room for eager

practices, city offices, cases only– Drive to firm-wide via successful results

3. Honor the Paper– Paper files available for active lifecycle– Retire the paper when matters close
