Simpson Grierson is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading full-service commercial law firms, with over 300 team members across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
In the early 2000s, the firm chose Canon to be its exclusive supplier of print, managed mail and courier services. An important criterion when selecting such a key commercial partner was trust, and another was the capability to deliver a robust and reliable solution that would give it the freedom to focus on its core business.
For Simpson Grierson, it is really important to have world-class scanning and printing services. Like other law firms, it is frequently surveyed on the equipment its partners and staff use, and Information Services Director Valerie Fogg says respondents regularly rate Canon’s as the best, reflecting the high regard in which its products are held within the legal sector.
“We’ve always felt that Canon really value our business, and they’ve really worked with us to understand how we work,” she says.
Simpson Grierson’s print room, along with mail and stationery services at their Auckland and Wellington offices are managed by Converga New Zealand, a division of Canon, whose dedicated staff ensure that daily operations within this area run seamlessly.
When the law firm recently upgraded its print operations with the newest range of Canon technology, it also took the opportunity to introduce Canon software to securely print, manage and scan documents using any of the devices in the Simpson Grierson network.
Having an intuitive document management system stops indiscriminate file saving to multiple locations, which can be an issue at many modern law firms.
Canon’s hardware provided a seamless integration with iManage software to enable Simpson Grierson to be able to store and sort digital files into one easy-to-use system, allowing staff to access critical information from any location. Information is saved into the correct place from the Canon device with no double handling.
New scanning technology allows rapid conversion of printouts and other written material into digital form.
