New Bridgeway Document Vault Provides Rich Document Management Capabilities for Law Departments

HOUSTON, March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridgeway Software, the most recommended provider of legal services management solutions, announced the availability of its new document management system (DMS). Designed specifically for the corporate law department, Bridgeway Document Vault™ Powered by M-Files^® enables attorneys to efficiently share content with business stakeholders, and ensure that the overall security of the company's legal documents will not be compromised.

Bridgeway Document Vault squarely addresses the need for businesses to have greater visibility into the work product of the Legal department. Leveraging Bridgeway's document management system can increase the perceived value of its services while ensuring that sensitive materials, such as internal investigations, HR issues, pending mergers, etc., are fully protected from unauthorized access.

As an integrated matter management/document management system, Bridgeway Document Vault allows general counsel and legal administrators to efficiently manage the legal department's tasks and priorities and significantly reduce the amount of time attorneys and paralegals spend searching for documents. Features include dynamic matter-centric security, tight integration to Bridgeway's matter management solutions eCounsel^® and LawManager^®, and integration with Microsoft Windows^®, Outlook and Office^®. Bridgeway Document Vault creates a high level of adaptability for attorneys who spend most of their day in email and productivity tools. Unlike other methods of document management based on file structures, Bridgeway Document Vault is powered by M-Files, an Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solution that provides users with a metadata-driven system for organizing and managing documents and other information. This means corporate law departments can focus on "what" instead of "where", making filing and retrieving documents easy and intuitive. 

"No other system dynamically applies matter-level security to the attached documents," said Keith Okano, president of Bridgeway. "The matter management platform is the system of record for matter-specific information and requires a close integration in which the DMS security is not only identical to, but is actually controlled by the matter management system. As a matter-driven DMS, Bridgeway Document Vault establishes the agile and secure document administration capacity that a business-aligned corporate counsel strategy requires."
