Workshare just Works!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Workshare Compare to do a couple of things:
  1. I use it to show the differences between two versions of a document. For example, I will run a comparison before I send a revised document out to a client, and then send them a copy of the comparison to show them what has been changed. This is a general sort of use.
  2. I use it to proof my own changes to a document that I have been working on. I find that this is the most effective way to proof my revisions because it highlights the content you have changed (and need to proof).
  3. I use it to check if the other side has changed any content in a document. For example, some of the time the other side will send you an "execution version," but we need to check that they did not change anything material at the last minute.
This software is used by all of the lawyers and paralegal at my organization. The business problem it addresses fundamentally comes down to version control—lawyers frequently work with multiple versions of the same document, and this is a key component of our version control procedures.

Pros

  • Clearly shows the changes between two documents using multiple colors of text and crossing-out and underlining.
  • Has diverse options for savings and sending the comparison document (Word, PDF and its own proprietary file format).
  • Has multiple options for letting you review each of the changes (in sequential order or by type of change).

Cons

  • While Workshare Compare does let you compare PDFs and does feature some optical character recognition software, this feature only works with relatively straightforward PDFs (that are either already text readable or are very short). For longer scans, you need to first use Adobe Pro to convert those scans to Word documents, and then compare the converted Word documents. It would be nice if Workshare had a more powerful engine for comparing PDFs that allowed you to skip this intermediate step.

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact by increasing the productivity of the lawyer.
  • Positive impact by improving our communication with clients (by allowing the clients to clearly see the changes we have made).
  • Positive impact on liability management by allowing us to clearly see the changes that the other side of a transaction has made to a document.
