Using existing manual methods, paper is difficult and expensive to collect, copy, move and manage. In a litigation setting, individual office and central file searches are intrusive and disrupt a company’s operations. The sheer bulk of the collection makes management expensive and difficult. Firms are typically required to hire temps or maintain a staff whose sole responsibility lies in tracking and moving boxes of documents. Indexing, coding and identifying important documents requires still more floor space and largely remains as labor intensive today as it has always been.

Scanning allows you to digitize your documents and store them electronically, in a single location. Text documents can be made searchable through the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process. The documents can then be viewed and processed from virtually any PC, eliminating the need to store and move boxes and freeing up wasted office space and manpower. These digital images can also be stored on a secure website where authorized users can access them from any Internet access point in the world.
