Benefits of Document Automation

Law firms, corporate legal departments, and transactional businesses such as financial services and insurance use HotDocs® to streamline document production. The result? Shorter cycle-times, lower costs, improved document accuracy, and a valuable knowledge base of the organization’s most critical documents. In addition, HotDocs may be integrated with your existing databases, practice management systems, case management systems, and other vital components of your organization’s technology infrastructure. Plus, HotDocs works with familiar Microsoft® Word and Corel® WordPerfect® software. 

With HotDocs, Your Organization Will: 

Save Time

• HotDocs templates prompt users to provide required information in a logical sequence. The template then automatically marries answers to format and assembles the document. 
• HotDocs lets you use the word processing programs your staff is comfortable with – Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect. You may also save assembled documents as universally accepted PDF files. 

Minimize Errors

• Perfect a template and it stays that way, without the human error factor that repetitive typing can introduce. Templates may also be protected from unauthorized viewing or editing.
• Verb tenses, gender references, dates/numbers, field calculations, and more update automatically as users enter information – a task that is impossible with standard search-and-replace capabilities.
• Document authors can turn to archived intelligence and research, right within the templates, for judgment calls. Help messages and interview questions also guide users’ progress. 

Share Knowledge Efficiently

• Document templates become your gold standard. Experienced colleagues can share, and new colleagues come up to speed faster. Virtually any document in your workflow can become a template, including complex and lengthy ones.
• Compile an invaluable repository of special language, unique clauses or terms, correspondence, and more. Even better, template prompts let users know when to include special clauses.
