What is
Document Automation/Assembly?
“Document
automation/assembly, at the most basic level, is the creation of new,
complete documents from the combination of new, and existing information.”
Document Automation or
Document Assembly saves time, effort and money in the production of
repetitive documents and forms. A document assembly/automation system is a
computer program that is used to create templates. When launched these
templates ask questions and automatically create customized documents based
on the answers given.
Document assembly
overcomes the problems in ordinary work processing, such as cutting,
pasting, and reformatting. You get a customized document with all the blanks
filled in, all the pronouns and verbs grammatically in place, all the
paragraphs properly placed and numbered -everything complete and correct, in
a fraction of the time it would take you using a word processor.
With a document
assembly system, once templates are created you can increase your
productivity many times, while improving the quality of client services.
What is
NebDocs?
NebDocs™ takes document assembly to the next level. Not only does this program provide you the benefits of document assembly described above, it provides you with Nebraska State Bar Association templates that can be implemented in your practice out of the box. The documents provided in NebDocs™ have been created by the various substantive law sections of the Nebraska State Bar Association and will be reviewed periodically by these sections to ensure they are compliant with current Nebraska law.
Why use
NebDocs™?
“Research
indicates that creating documents from within a document assembly system is
50% to 80% quicker than standard creation”
Increased
productivity and lower cost
NebDocs™ templates prompt users to provide required information in a logical sequence. The template then automatically marries answers to format and assembles the document.
NebDocs™ lets you use the word processing programs your staff is comfortable with – Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect. You may also save assembled documents as universally accepted PDF files.
