Case Study: Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP achieves secure, Microsoft-integrated document access and improved productivity with Workshare

Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP - Customer Case Study

Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP is a prominent California personal-injury firm whose attorneys handle complex, high‑stakes cases and rely heavily on Microsoft Office for electronic case presentation. The firm needed secure, cloud‑based access to Office documents that preserved the familiar Microsoft workflow, but lacked full‑time IT staff and found consumer file‑sharing services insufficient for sensitive legal files.

Workshare Point delivered a Microsoft‑compatible solution by integrating Outlook with SharePoint to provide one‑click access to document libraries, drag‑and‑drop filing, FAST search, and familiar save/open dialogs. Paired with Workshare Professional for version control, comparison, metadata management and automated checks (e.g., leftover track changes, redaction issues) plus PDF conversion, the deployment increased productivity, tightened document security and control, and enabled secure, mobile access without changing attorneys’ workflows.
