The 'Paper-On-Demand' Court

By ImageSoft, Inc.

Electronic Content Management (ECM) systems provide significant, paradigmshifting value to courts of all types. In fact, the savings to a court are greater than any other single technology initiative. This White Paper seeks to describe those benefits so that court leaders can evaluate whether the technology is a good fit for their organization.

This White Paper proposes that the most significant ECM component to a court is Workflow. Because of the significance of Workflow Technology to courts, this paper could just as easily be called "Workflow Technology in Courts".

The concept of "Paper-On-Demand" is a way of thinking. It is a discipline that when made pervasive throughout the court enterprise, dramatic cost savings follow.

"Paper-on-demand" means that all content is stored in a digital format at all times and is only made into paper format when needed. If a constituent or party to a case requires paper, then a copy can be printed for that individual need, but the paper is not used within the court.
