- Look
for a well established track record with similar clients
Established
in 1986, AccuFile has gained a reputation of commitment,
quality and consistency within the legal, tax & corporate
communities of New England. As evidence, much of our new
business comes from referrals throughout these customer
bases. The result is a refined set of practices and procedures
insuring consistency from one client to the next.
- Make
sure the company has trained expertise to address your needs
An
AccuFile Librarian is a uniquely qualified and experienced
professional. Each AccuFile Librarian has a minimum of ten
years hands-on experience within a legal or tax library
environment. Because each librarian usually services 3-5
law or tax libraries each week, they gain a unique and valuable
level of experience in adapting to these changing environments.
In addition, AccuFile Librarians have access to our
proprietary "Guide For Librarians" developed to
assist our staff, based on 17 years of experience.
An
AccuFile Loose-leaf Filer brings a highly trained
and experienced individual for the sole tasks of loose-leaf
filing & pocket part replacement. Through an intensive
60 hour training program new recruits are prepared to provide
keen insight and capability for all forms of loose-leaf
publications. To augment their efforts AccuFile has developed
the "A Guide For Filers" and our monthly
employee newsletter AccuNews, to insure our clients
receive consistent service and are provide the most current
publisher information from each and every AccuFile Loose-leaf
Filer.
- Ask
for a cost analysis up front to assess the savings to you
AccuFile
Librarian and/or Loose-leaf Filer becomes most cost effective
when;
1)
a firm cannot afford to staff full-time library personnel,
2)
the size and scope of the library does not require full-time
personnel, or
3)
the work load of the existing staff has become excessive
thereby necessitating supplemental work. These are the most
common scenarios. There can be other similar situations
as well.
With
supplemental help you reduce costly overhead associated
with maintaining payroll, paid vacation leave, paid sick
leave, health insurance, profit-sharing and pension plans.
As
added benefit, outsourcing with AccuFile provides
a higher degree of accuracy, timeliness, reliability,
efficiency, flexibility and expertise. This is especially
true when our service and resources are compared with those
of temporary employment personnel not skilled
in professional library maintenance.
As
many of our cost comparisons are customized to the specific
clients requirements, the following cost analysis is a good
generic representation of this exercise: (see A
Cost Effective Solution for Professional Loose-leaf Filing
attachment).
- Determine
how flexible the service schedule is for you
- Do
you want to eliminate your in-house loose-leaf filing
tasks?
- Do
you need someone to supplement a full-time library or
administrative staff?
- Do
you need someone to fill in while your regular librarian,
library assistant / technical services librarian, or loose-filer
is on vacation or sick leave?
- Are
there special library projects that your existing personnel
can not find the time or resources to complete?
We can fulfill all of these and more. Since our personnel
are billed at a 1 hour minimum, our work schedule can
be customized to your exact requirements. This unique ability
to adapt to each client's specific guidelines has grown AccuFile
to what it is today.
- Choose
a company that has access to on-line services and new technologies
to apply to your future growth
Today
every law and tax firm needs to be aware of the available
technology resources for the day to day operations of information
discovery, analysis, manipulation, storage, retrieval and
publication. Only the level of commitment and utilization
will vary.
For
library automation AccuFile is a natural choice.
Our long running established track record in the library
sciences field combined with our expertise in new professional
library technologies and resources, again brings a unique
service to our clients.
The
information resources of your paper library can be enhanced
by the addition of CD-ROM, on-line service and the Internet.
If you are concerned about the proper fit of these technologies
and the associated costs, AccuFile can provide a thorough
analysis to facilitate and ease your decision making
process.
