Law Firm Lester Aldridge reduces paper use by 20 trees per month with Canotec’s “Less Paper Technology”.

“The LA story”

California dreaming? No, this one is a local U.K. business success story, for the firm, their customers and the planet!

Employing 300 staff, across four locations, leading law firm Lester Aldridge have always embraced more efficient ways of working, especially if it is good for the customer and good for the bottom line.

The Brief

Rationalise and simplify printing scanning and communication tools for the benefit of the staff and clients. Make it easier to share and distribute documents and reduce the ever growing paper mountain for the staff, speed up communication to clients.

In addition the firm wanted to get visibility, and control of an ever growing overhead – document creation, distribution and retrieval.

Working with Canotec a long standing partner, the Lester Aldridge IT team headed up by Neil Prevett, (Director of IT) identified true volumes and costs, wastage, duplication and bottlenecks in the current systems. Although savings were a key driver, business efficiency and client facing services could not be compromised. A “Less paper Law firm” was the goal and very deliverable but at what cost or impact?

A phased approach was adopted using the latest eCopy scanning and Safecom, secure print release technology on a Canon platform, winning the hearts and minds as they went, Canotec and Neil’s team achieved staggering results...

Total output volumes dropped by 160,000 pages/month or in green terms 19 trees/month and the bottom line... the business is leaner and greener saving £45K per annum along the way, in running costs alone, let alone energy savings.
