Legal
Today’s law firms recognize the need to classify and manage the records that are material for the internal operations of the firm, in addition to the records & information critical to the legal matters for which their attorneys are responsible. When conducting a legal discovery process, the efficiency, accuracy and completeness can make a significant difference in the cost and outcomes. Firms strive to adopt best practices for records keeping, information governance policies and consistent procedures in order to prevent embarrassing failures to produce material information in prescribed time frames. It is also worth noting that records and information management systems need to be designed for the attorneys and clerks that use the software, and not exclusively for experienced records managers.

The Hold and the individual records can be associated with the appropriate, identified Matter.
File Plans & Taxonomy
OmniRIM supports a diverse structure allowing for multiple file plans. A single OmniRIM implementation can support individual file plans for a single firm that specializes in several different types of law, such as criminal, corporate, estate and family law.
Pre-defined Record Types and Metadata Elements
OmniRIM provides a series of predefined record types, lists and metadata elements that are essential in the management of your accounting, human resources, marketing, operations, treasury and customer records. OmniRIM applies common metadata elements across multiple record types, empowering you with the ability to locate a diverse set of records relating to a single common metadata field. OmniRIM's predefined managed lists and lookups for Legal organizations increase efficiency and accuracy by alleviating the need for users to continually memorize and enter complex data, thereby reducing data entry keystrokes, while ensuring the data entered is correct across all affected record types.
Holds
Holds can be applied to records – physical and electronic – that are being reviewed or reserved for an active legal discovery process. A Hold prevents a record from being transferred or destroyed until the record is no longer required and the Hold eventually gets removed. A single record can have multiple Holds applied.
International Date Stamping
For organizations with facilities in many parts of the world, it is necessary to track the accurate date and time of an activity for a record. OmniRIM’s international date stamping functionality ensures accuracy every time and reduces potential mistakes and confusion.
Audit Controls
OmniRIM allows records managers to enter a Reason for Change any time a record is edited or amended and saved. Integrity of audit logs supports the immutability of vital records (also referred to as non-repudiation of records). Any change to the record is traceable in the audit trail.
