Document Management on-premises or in the Cloud
webDMS is totally new; it was designed and programmed from the ground up for fast mobile and cloud performance using the latest web-browser technologies.
webDMS is an outgrowth of PerfectLaw’s Attorney Information Manager, AIM®. It incorporates all the creation, search, and retrieval features AIM® users are accustomed too, along with seamless integration with Microsoft® Office365®.
webDMS’ unique architecture addresses many security, performance, and integration issues affecting law firms. Perhaps the most important are
- Security issues such as Ransomware
- Performance issues when working remotely
- Clumsiness coupled with a steep learning curve
- Poor integration with Windows®, Office® and PDFs, especially with respect to security and Drag and Drop functionality
- Limited searching capability
- Shaky vendor syndrome where the vendor has been sold recently or goes out of business and the product goes on life support
PerfectLaw DMS vs NetDocuments vs iManage

Working with webDMS is much like working with Microsoft® Windows®; helping attorneys transition to the cloud in little to no time at all.
