5 technologies that shorten the document lifecycle & increase productivityNikec Solutions
As the business world moves faster, lawyers are expected to respond to a client’s demand swiftly and consequently need to produce documents quicker than ever. With the different processes involved between the creation and the completion of a document (initial scanning, editing, reviewing, approval and sharing) – i.e. the document lifecycle – teams must stay sharp and consistent to meet those shorter response times.
Digitalisation has revolutionised the speed at which we work with documents but the use of latest technologies can further enhance this. Here are some of the instrumental technologies that will help optimise your document life cycle, without requiring an army of IT experts to manage.
7 reasons why law firms digitise their client matterNikec Solutions
Are you a law firm thinking about digitising their client matter? Here are the top 7 reasons why law firms are shifting from paper based matter folders?
1. Boosting productivity
2. Sharing knowledge & information
3. Supporting mobility
4. Sharing matters with clients
5. Saving on paper costs
6. Saving on storage costs
7. Approaching the paper less environment & CSR policies
The creation of matters is central to a law firm’s operation - the focal point between a lawyer, his/her team and the client. While many firms still produce paper based matter folders, this is slowly changing with the realisation that the costs associated with this method (the time spent creating and amending documents, searching for lost files, printing, transportation and storage) are high. As the use of electronic documents becomes much more widespread, technologies to create digital matters are becoming prevalent. Some of these intuitive tools closely reflect how lawyers work and interact with documents. They also integrate with other systems to give a complete overview of the client and matter. These are just a few of the benefits. We have spoken to several client law firms who started the process of digitising their matters. This presentation provides a first-hand insight into their rationale behind going digital.

In today’s digital world, there have been enormous strides to reducing the paper we work with on a daily basis and all the paper that represent the accumulation of paper over the last 20 to 40 years. That is the good news. The bad news is there is still tons of paper that makes up the “backfile” that is typically stored in facilities were access is difficult. There is still an enormous amount of paper used daily in operating most companies around the globe. Some have taken the technology and process steps to reduce the amount of paper and streamline the operations that previously processed the paper. Other are sticking with paper and paying the price of not doing anything. What can be done with technology and what is the payback stepping into the digital world where there is significantly less paper. This paper addresses this technology and points out the associated benefit over and above the elimination of the physical paper.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

3 paper reducing technologies
1. 3 must-have technologies to reduce paper
www.nikecsolutions.com
consumption
www.nikecsolutions.com
2. www.nikecsolutions.com
Introduction
• Two million pages are printed every minute across Europe, Middle East and
Africa (EMEA).
• That’s the equivalent of chopping down 63 trees per minute* or a volume of
paper to cover almost 17.5 football stadiums.
• If the paperless office may still be a myth, the "less-paper" office is a very
tangible, measurable and achievable target which is now integrated in most
corporate policies.
5. www.nikecsolutions.com
1. Print management technologies
• Following an investigation, a London based firm found that their
employees were printing up to 1200 pages a day on average.
• Up to 15% of these pages were being left unclaimed at the printer and
then subsequently discarded.
• Further research revealed that most individuals were printing in simplex
mode and in colour - i.e. the default printer setting. Ultimately copious
amounts of paper and print consumables were being wasted.
6. • To overcome these issues, the IT team replaced their standalone printers
with a fleet of modern day multi-function printers (MFPs) which was
combined with powerful print management software.
www.nikecsolutions.com
1. Print management technologies
7. 1. Print management technologies
• In the first instance, these MFPs offered a strong centralised printing,
www.nikecsolutions.com
scanning and copying platform.
• This allowed the firm greater control as they were able to define the default
settings that provided the optimal output.
• When integrated with additional print management software, it offered the
firm more capabilities to further fortify the firm’s paper management
strategy - two of which included secure and rule based printing.
8. www.nikecsolutions.com
1. Print management technologies
• The deployment of Secure Print technology meant that user
authentication was now required at the MFP in order to release the
print.
• Not only did this improved document security as only authorised users
could access their printed documents, but it also gave users a second
chance to decide whether to print the document – or not, as in many
cases.
• This alone wiped out unclaimed paper completely (i.e. 15% reduction in
paper consumption) as those print jobs that were left unreleased, by the
user were simply deleted off the server.
9. www.nikecsolutions.com
1. Print management technologies
• Other measures implemented included rule based printing - which
automatically routes print jobs to the most appropriate, cost effective
device.
• It permitted default settings per departments (e.g. print and copy in
duplex, in greyscale) which cut the cost of consumables (paper, toners...)
consumed by a further 25%.
10. www.nikecsolutions.com
1. Print management technologies
Results:
• Aside from an reduction of the firm's footprint, the optimisation of
paper and its related tangible and intangible costs (environmental
impact, improved processes and productivity) generated significant cost
savings, equivalent to a little more than 3% of the firm’s total revenue.
12. www.nikecsolutions.com
2. Scanning technologies
• A mid-sized law firm needed to expand their storage space to
accommodate the growing number of paper-based matter files.
• Facing the highly inflated property prices in London, they decided that
the most viable and cost effective investment would be to convert these
matters into digital files.
• Using a scanner with advanced optical character recognition (OCR)
capabilities, the firm transformed over 100,000 hard copy documents
into fully editable and searchable electronic ones.
13. 2. Scanning technologies
• In the first instance, this significantly reduced the amount of paper and
www.nikecsolutions.com
therefore storage space.
• Secondly, it allowed the firm to convert these documents into a
keyword searchable information repository.
• In turn, information could now be retrieved quickly and sent to team
members and clients electronically further reducing the need for paper.
14. www.nikecsolutions.com
Introduction
Results:
Today, instead of making copies of files to store in a paper filing system,
employees simply scan and digitally store these.
Thanks to scanning, the law firm has reduced the amount of paper
consumed despite a 20% percent increase in their case load.
16. 3. Digital document storage and organisation system
www.nikecsolutions.com
• Tasked with a strategy to reduce print costs by 60% and improve
workflow productivity while decreasing the space used for storing files
by 17%, a UK based firm took on a sizable initiative to move to a
completely digital client matter environment.
• Traditionally a paper and print intensive process, they decided that the
amount of time and money spent on printing and sending documents
was both unproductive and costly.
17. 3. Digital document storage and organisation system
• The firm decided to switch to a digital binder solution which provided a
www.nikecsolutions.com
platform to create matters electronically.
• Replicating a traditional paper based ring binder, the digital binder offered a
central location for team member to store, access, review and annotate
documents in multiple formats.
18. 3. Digital document storage and organisation system
www.nikecsolutions.com
Results:
• This centralised approach to managing documents eliminated the need
to print multiple versions of documents as these were being updated for
instance.
• The firm also integrated a secure file sharing solution which allowed
team members to share entire binders and large documents to multiple
team members rather than sending sporadic documents via email.
• Today, their printing costs have fallen by 60% in the first year as well as
storage costs with client matter files now being digitally archived.
19. www.nikecsolutions.com
Conclusion
• Although taking the initiative to reduce paper consumption can take time, effort
and investment depending on the technology itself and the organisation’s culture,
the return on investment can have a far greater, positive impact.
• By taking various steps to a less paper operation , not only does it translate into
cost savings and improved document processes, but demonstrating the use of
secure, innovative technologies such as digital binders can help position a firm as
forward thinking and a cut above the rest in a client’s mind – especially in the
highly digitised world that we operate in today.
