Case Study: Ruder Ware achieves faster search, fewer clicks, and cloud-first flexibility with NetDocuments

A New Cloud DMS Brings Opportunities for Fewer Clicks and More Flexible Work

Ruder Ware, a Wisconsin law firm with 45+ lawyers and about 100 users across four offices, faced an aging on‑premises Worldox DMS that hindered productivity, search performance, mobile access, and security. Seeking fewer clicks, predictive filing, strong data separation, and a cloud‑first approach, the firm chose NetDocuments and its cloud-native platform (Organize: Document & Email Management, ndSync; Protect: WSM, DLP; Deliver: CollabSpaces).

NetDocuments migrated Ruder Ware to its cloud DMS and tools, delivering lightning-fast search, a customizable Home screen for pinned content that reduces clicks, and improved iPad/mobile workflows while meeting the firm’s security requirements. NetDocuments’ solution now supports ~100 users across four offices, enabling more efficient, flexible, and secure access to client documents and opening new client‑facing opportunities like CollabSpaces.
