World Software Corporation Worldox

What It Does

Worldox is a document management system (DMS) built by World Software Corporation, founded in 1988. It indexes, profiles, and retrieves documents and email for law firms and other professional-services organisations, with version control and profile-based filing. The product (latest generation marketed as Worldox GX4) has historically been on-premises and Windows-oriented, though it is also run hosted in private-cloud setups via partners.

What We Found

Worldox is now part of NetDocuments — NetDocuments announced its acquisition of Worldox in October 2022. As of a 2018 company statement, World Software reported over 6,000 customers across 52 countries, with the large majority (around 4,800 installations) being law firms and legal departments. Anyone evaluating Worldox today should weigh the long-term roadmap against NetDocuments’ own cloud DMS, since the two now sit under one owner.
