Every litigation professional knows well the long hours spent combing through hundreds of thousands of pages in document review. This grueling effort culminates in formulating a case for your client, so naturally you want the best tools to manage those facts.
Although Word is a wonderful method for creating pleadings and letters, such documents are meant to be edited once, twice, and then finalized. Collections of case facts constantly change, update and expand until the very end of the case, and, most importantly, are shared between large groups of people with innumerable edits from start to finish.
PBworks makes this process as user-friendly as possible. You can copy and paste directly from Word documents to a workspace and add or edit information. Even multiple versions of the same Word document, if uploaded, are grouped into versions so that you can easily access both the most recent and all previous versions. Changes are instantaneous, so all team members can access the updated information immediately. You can customize PBworks to send email alerts when documents are changed. Best of all, you will never have to archive or folder another email with an “Updated Witness List.doc” attachment ever again.
“I hated searching through 5,000 emails or through multiple versions of procedures to get what I need,” said Andrew, PBworks customer at the USPTO. “We use PBworks to warehouse those documents.”
