Changing to electronic files isn't a revolutionary idea; many private industries have already made the switch. But our change has been a revolutionary improvement in how we do the People's business, and is a harbinger of the future for many other prosecutor offices.

I think it's important to show my colleagues that there's a better way to do business. So, on our Website, we include information on why we chose Laserfiche, how document management solutions work, the benefits and our tips and suggestions for success. We had such a positive response to that page that we created and posted videos about how we work, so other prosecutors? offices can see the benefits of Laserfiche document images first hand.

One of the other things I do is talk about Laserfiche whenever I can. We host on-site visits from other prosecutors? offices interested in seeing how ?paperless? we really are. (Instead of six file cabinets, we now only need a single drawer ? and it doesn't even hold paper. We use it to hold evidence CDs.) The fact that with document management we haven't lost a single file in over three years is earth-shattering to other prosecutors.
