San Francisco, Calif. (Advertiser Talk) 24-Aug-2009 — Workshare announced the availability of two new legal document management guides by collaboration expert Mike Osterman. A Guide to Managing Documents in Today’s Law Firms and A Guide to Document Comparison and Security For Corporate Legal review the key challenges legal professionals encounter when exchanging documents and managing document review cycles.

Today’s law firms and corporate legal teams need technology to help them deal with legal documents that are created, revised and reviewed on desktop computers, and on the go with laptops and mobile devices such as the BlackBerry. As part of the review cycle these documents are shared with others, who then make modifications and forward them to additional interested parties, who further revise them and circulate them again to even more people. The end result is a mish-mash of document management practices, version control problems, lost productivity, and higher costs.
