Addressing the particular needs of the still-paper-intensive legal industry, DocSolid is a software and services company that creates paper-to-digital solutions. President Steve Irons, creator of the company’s intellectual property, explains, “The technology is a patented way to get paper scanned and integrated with existing software solutions and infrastructure like copiers, multifunction printers, networks and storage systems.” His latest patent, granted last July, he describes as enabling the technology to move to the cloud “in a protected fashion.”
DocSolid is focused especially on the large law firms and corporate legal departments than span multiple cities, regions and even countries. “We deploy technology to leverage networks, storage systems and security already in place,” Irons says. The company also provides the consulting to facilitate the transition from paper-centric to digital-centric activities.
Founded in 2009, DocSolid is a spin-out of one of Irons’ previous companies, ImageTag, from which he recently acquired full rights to his KwikTag technology that fuels technology he employs for the DocSolid solutions.
While most of his customers are in the eastern United States, the U.K. and Asia, Irons says Phoenix is “a terrific place to operate from.” The Valley resident cites infrastructure — notably Sky Harbor Airport — as well as a location that is attractive for recruiting talent and being able to “operate regionally even when we outsource development” such as to Phoenix-based software development company Tiempo, which operates some of its software development centers in convenient proximity in Mexico.
