NetDocuments is a leading cloud document management system (DMS) that provides a reliable and secure way to store, find, share, automate, and collaborate on documents and email \u2014 from anywhere, using any device \u2014 enabling your best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ndMail is a suite of email management and productivity tools that integrate directly with Outlook and Gmail. It uses predictive filing\u2014powered by artificial intelligence\u2014to make inboxes more organized, collaborative, and efficient for legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quickly and accurately file any email into your NetDocuments system with a single click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With one-click email management, you will save time and boost productivity with every email you send and receive. ndMail predicts how to file emails based on individual and organization-wide behavior. When you get an email that has previous replies or forwards, you will be prompted with a suggested location to file the new email based on past behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can then quickly find what you need using the search function later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ndMail leverages the advanced search features embedded in NetDocuments to quickly locate communications and documents based on numerous filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Predictively file emails based on specific characteristics, and automatically file emails the moment they\u2019re sent. Easily map Outlook folders, quickly view filed emails from associates, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ndMail makes smart filing suggestions based on who is included in the email, the subject line, and the attached documents. Also, emails are filed directly into the project or matter you’re working on so you can deliver a complete work file at a moment’s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, the NetDocuments email management system makes it easy to avoid duplicate filings. Each time an email is filed, a Global Filing Indicator appears in Outlook to alert all users when an email has already been placed in NetDocuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Predictive filing leverages artificial intelligence (AI) based on organization-wide filing behaviors, the sender, receiver, email content, and more. This solution gets smarter as more people use it and can help shorten onboarding time for new attorneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Integrated Outlook folders provide legal professionals with greater flexibility to work in the ways they prefer most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NetDocuments optical character recognition (OCR) speeds up your document searches by digitizing and indexing entire documents and images. Working behind the scenes, NetDocuments OCR ensures every piece of content added to your NetDocuments platform becomes an easily searchable piece of your collective knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OCR automatically reviews content added to your NetDocuments database to locate non-searchable images and documents (e.g. PDFs), analyzes the content, and then digitizes the documents to ensure all documents are fully searchable and indexed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By digitizing all types of documents, you can save time and ensure a complete and thorough search is conducted \u2013 including images and PDFs. It also helps avoid redundancy or the need to recreate the wheel, as documents stop playing hide and seek.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Active monitoring of new documents automatically converts documents for you so that you never lose track of content in your database. As soon as a non-text file is added to the system (e.g. a PDF), it will be assessed and analyzed to capture content and transform it into text that can be fully indexed and searched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carefully scan backlogs of legacy documents and convert them over time based on priority order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never recreate an old client file again. Utilizing the same technology used to create new, searchable documents, NetDocuments OCR transforms existing documents into searchable content so you never have to look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leverage the latest OCR technology to save lost text and minimize conversion errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For scanned documents, OCR corrects font size problems that commonly disrupt the OCR workflow. Additionally, pixel correction smooths text over images, preventing lost text or characters. These processes mean fewer conversion errors in document creation and a more powerful, functional database to support your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With NetDocuments Power Automate Connector you can create custom, code-free workflows in Microsoft Office and 300+ applications that take actions on NetDocuments workspaces, folders, documents, users, and groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automate legal team workflows and maintenance of your NetDocuments system.

It is a robust, reliable two-way file-syncing solution for Macs and PCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatically keep all the files within specific folders and workspaces (or those related to specific matters) organized, up-to-date, and available on your local computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Say ‘goodbye’ to downloading, saving, and re-uploading inconsistent files. Instead, empower collaboration by ensuring both you and your co-workers have access to the most recent files on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Define and maintain directory structures to keep file organization uniform between the cloud and your local machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Define a folder structure locally on your computer that automatically syncs to the cloud, preserving consistency and ease of use both on and off the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Automatically upload new files you create offline and save them in synced directories the moment you re-connect to the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ndSync helps you avoid confusion and streamline collaboration by syncing cloud and computer file copies automatically upon reconnection, so you know you\u2019re always working off the latest version of your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintain control over which workspaces, folders, matters, and files you sync to your local machine. You can also control when and how often your files sync\u2014or initiate a file sync manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select a workspace, folder, or file with ndSync to update content on a regular basis, or manually initiate syncs as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take advantage of centralized administration features to restrict access or lock down applications and data if your machine is lost or stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get peace of mind with enterprise-wide administration features that allow you to control access to data. If your computer is lost or stolen, centralized administration features\u2014such as application wiping\u2014can restrict access and protect your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Data Loss Prevention helps classify content and create and enforce policies to control user actions. It also prevents documents from leaving the security of your NetDocuments system in a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes it easier to keep sensitive content safe from data breaches, exfiltration, and unauthorized or inappropriate use.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NetDocuments was designed for mobility.
