At SmartPrint, we get it. We understand that in the legal industry, IT’s internal customers (lawyers, clerks and assistants) are extremely demanding. They do not have time to wait for anything because failure for the law firm’s client is not an option. In the legal environment, it’s crucial to provide high uptime with an efficient platform of printing and imaging equipment and integrated software.
There are many complex tools including scanning, routing, file compression, integration to DM, fax over IP, cost recovery and many more. However, if they are not implemented correctly to provide users with simple effective workflows, the users will go back to their manual processes and lose efficiency.
We are experts at getting it right for the user. We know that we need to give the limited tech-savvy user what they need to simply get the job done while also leveraging those same platforms to provide the more tech-savvy user with the workflows and processes that take them to an even higher level of efficiency.
As MPS experts, we have vast experience across many industries, particularly managed print services for law firms. We understand the legal industry’s challenges and opportunities to improve their print environments.
