Law firms often find that out-of-the-box Microsoft SharePoint falls short of satisfying their legal document management requirements. The MacroView DMF Professional Legal Pack extends the document management capabilities of SharePoint in a number of key areas, making SharePoint a viable alternative to a ‘traditional’ DM solution based on OpenText / Hummingbird or Autonomy / Interwoven Worksite.

Microsoft Outlook Integration

MacroView DMF lets you navigate the complete SharePoint document store, directly from Outlook. MacroView DMF lets you drag -and-drop to save email messages and prevents duplicate copies of emails.

Adobe PDF Integration

PDFs are an important aspect of legal document handling. MacroView DMF provides best-in-class integration with SharePoint from Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

Client / Matter-centric operation

See Client-Matter centric document management in SharePoint. Documents that are not client / matter related can be stored using a familiar tree-view paradigm – just like Windows Explorer.

Unique document numbering

MacroView Unique Document Numbering automatically assigns the next available number to each document, email message or file as it is saved to a nominated Site Collection or set of Site Collections. MacroView DMF also supports the insertion of unique document references in the footers of Word and Excel documents.

Easy-to-use document level security

MacroView Enhanced Document Level Security makes it easy for Contributor-level users to set specific permissions to an individual document – you simply tick a box as you profile a document.
