Case Study: Lewis Silkin achieves rapid SharePoint DMS integration and streamlined document workflows with DocsCorp

Top UK Law Firm, Lewis Silkin, Turns to Docscorp for DMS Integration Workshare Couldn’t Provide

Lewis Silkin, a top UK law firm and early technology adopter, needed a working document comparison and PDF workflow that integrated with its new SharePoint DMS after Workshare failed to deliver an integration over two years. Frustrated staff had reverted to MS Word’s native compare, which lacked capability and integration, so the firm turned to DocsCorp and its pdfDocs and compareDocs products for a permanent solution.

DocsCorp implemented pdfDocs and compareDocs, fully integrating with SharePoint DMS and Outlook; the firm piloted the solution within a month and completed a firm-wide rollout in two months. DocsCorp’s Binder automated creation of Matter Bibles and Court Bundles—reducing labour, cutting costs and freeing staff—while compareDocs delivered native comparisons across Word and PDF (and preserved formatting), expanding comparison capabilities and streamlining review workflows.
