Legal Management Systems: R&K Staff Gives Back

It is indeed the season of giving!  

In addition to pledging thousands of dollars in donations during the annual office United Way Campaign last month, the Rippe & Kingston staff also continued the tradition of participating in a local winter accessories drive for those in need.

Furthermore, employees donated to alz.org for the 'Jeans for a Cause' initiative in honor of National Alzheimer's Awareness month and those affected by the disease.
 

'Jeans for a Cause' Initiative: The Rippe & Kingston staff enjoy coming together to give back to the community.  Each month, donations are collected for a chosen foundation or cause suggested by the employees.  Those who participate can opt to wear jeans on Fridays.  Donations collected in December will go to St. Vincent de Paul.

Legal Management Systems: The Benefits to Imaging

Have you started to employ imaging functionality in your Firm?  If not, it might be time!

Yes, we've talked about this topic before - and there's a reason why it's coming up again.  Imaging can drastically improve efficiency in your Firm. 

The process of scanning and archiving electronic documents (i.e., imaging) can be well worth the investment.  Eliminating the need for square footage for storage is a significant dollar saver, but imaging also makes retrieval so much easier.  When you spend less time looking for a document, you can spend more time on bigger priorities.

Rippe & Kingston incorporates imaging features throughout its LMS software...allowing for convenient attachment and access of PDF images (e.g., a check, a W9, a contract, a receipt, etc.).  While a walk to a filing cabinet seems minimal, the minutes it takes can add up quickly.  In comparison, you can retrieve an image within LMS in mere seconds. 

Important information is at your fingertips with LMS and imaging!
