However, while electronically editing BIMs is efficient, many of your Attorneys might prefer to make handwritten notes on paper.
Of course, this can be problematic when it comes to storing the revised copies. Many Firms hold onto them and have boxes and boxes of storage just for BIMs.
Are you seeking a solution? Well, Rippe & Kingston has a suggestion!
If you have the latest OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanning technology to create searchable PDFs on your copier/scanner, this just might be the answer! Once the Attorney has made handwritten notes on the BIM, we recommend that they are scanned back into electronic form on a monthly basis. You would then have one large, searchable PDF for the month. It would be easy to retrieve a BIM by its number utilizing the search function in your PDF viewer!
With this solution, everyone is happy. Attorneys can revise BIMs on paper and your Firm can store the updated BIMs electronically, rather than storing boxes of BIMs.
