Interview with the firm’s CIO and Director of Shared IT Services & IG

This interview highlights Buchanan’s AI strategy and how they got started with the NetDocuments AI App Builder to save 1,500+ hours annually.

Buchanan recognized that AI adoption required more than just integrating new tools — it required a strategic approach that considered both technology and talent management. By embracing the NetDocuments AI App Builder, the firm introduced an AI-powered automation framework that optimized their workflows and boosted confidence among their legal teams.

“We were able to calculate that this app could save over 1,500 hours of work a year while at the same time producing a better work product. So that was a no brainer for us.”
