Maybe that's a bit snarky, but to make matters worse, I spent about 20 minutes at their web site and I can't really figure out what they do and why or how they might be of use to me. I am very serious about going paperless, I am very interested in some kind of online document management, and it's a shame that the netdocuments people can't convey their mission more coherently, because if they did, I would probably end up being a customer. Amidst all their techies, they should hire somebody with communication skills.

My struggle is with the stakeholders, peers and third parties who still require paper, which forces me to maintain a double set of documents at times - virtual and hard copy. And scanning in all the paper can be burdensome, especially on big litigation files. The effort is worthwhile in the long term, I think, but for now it's like wearing a belt and suspenders.
