Migrate From Legacy Document Management Software

Legacy Document Management software is expensive, clunky, inaccessible and full of IT headaches.

The Wrong Tool for the Job

Practice management software excels at time tracking, invoicing, reporting, and calendaring. Document and email management is a separate discipline, and forcing your case management system to be an end-to-end solution is “putting a square peg through a round hole.”

Servers & IT Maintenance Required

Many legacy Document Management Systems require powerful (and therefor expensive) on-premise servers. This translates to high cost-of-entry, ongoing IT maintenance costs and being in the business of owning servers.

Needlessly Expensive

Investing in technology is important for law firms, but legacy document management systems are needlessly costly. Legacy DMS applications are expensive unto themselves, and require costly servers and outside consultants. For most law firms: It’s simply not worth it.

Limited Mobility

Being premise/server-based, legacy Document Management applications offer little in the way of mobility. You’ll be forced to implement VPN’s, LogMeIn or other, similarly clunky work-arounds to remotely access your matter documents.

Faux-Cloud

Responding to pressure from competitors and clients, many legacy document management companies offer a “cloud” option… that really isn’t. They’ll host the same old, clunky software in a remote server, charge you a monthly fee and call it “cloud.”

Confusing, Dated Interface

Most legacy Document Management applications have a dated, cluttered look. They’re confusing, unintuitive, and difficult to use and navigate; this leads to frustrated users and failed adoption.

Security Risks

With on-premise Document Management software, your data is only secure as the infrastructure it lives on. Most small and midsized law firms simply don’t have the resources to implement 24×7 security monitoring, threat prevention and cybersecurity remediation necessary to keep their data secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about document management.

What does DMS stand for?2026-05-26T19:01:02+00:00

DMS stands for, Document Management Software. Document Management software such as LexWorkplace helps you manage document versions, find what you’re looking for, tag and categorize documents, organize matters and matter documents, and much more.

How is document management different from practice management software?2026-05-26T18:59:21+00:00

Document Management software stores, manages documents and email, and does so in a very robust way. Practice Management software, on the other hand, provides contact management, calendars, billing and other “front-office” functions. Practice Management software sometimes includes rudimentary file storage, but almost always lacks the robust functionality of a true Document Management System.
