Case Study: Ellisons Solicitors achieves remote, secure cloud document management with NetDocuments

Reaching Big Picture Goals to Deliver Superior Client Service

Ellisons Solicitors, a 250‑person mid‑law firm with seven offices across Essex, Suffolk and London, needed to complete its digital transformation by replacing a mix of shared drives, email inboxes and paper files with a secure cloud document management system so staff could work anytime, anywhere and integrate with their Partner for Windows (P4W) practice system. After evaluating options against security, cloud‑native architecture and P4W compatibility, Ellisons selected NetDocuments (including ndMail, CollabSpaces and related toolsets) to fill that final gap.

NetDocuments was rolled out (with implementation support) to create a single, version‑controlled source of truth integrated with P4W, enabling full remote working, secure client collaboration and streamlined email filing. The firm reports no mis‑sent document incidents since implementation, measurable admin time savings by eliminating photocopying and paper handling, reduced paper/print and storage needs that inform property cost avoidance, strong user satisfaction in an internal survey, and improved ability to attract and retain talent — all delivered through the NetDocuments platform.
