Online Native Review
As with nearly every other industry in the Western world, computer and Internet technologies have transformed the practice of law. And until you have used Digital Current’s online native review tool ImageDepot™, it is difficult to imagine its power.
ImageDepot™ allows users to search, sort and organize documents by date, author, type, keywords or many other indexing criteria from any Internet connection through secure login. Files are available for viewing in their original formats, be they Word, Excel, PDF, e-mail or something else. Users can insert their own text and/or annotations onto documents, which they and other users can then view and add to later. And users can use the tool to e-mail documents as needed to other relevant parties.
In this age of technology and telecommuting, ImageDepot™ is a powerful and liberating tool, because it allows attorneys and paralegals to access case documents from any Internet connection, be that from their offices or homes, or from coffee shops, airports or hotels. And since the documents are not tied to a single office file drawer, hard drive or server, users can easily share them from any location with anyone in the world, such as co-counsel, opposing counsel or expert.
Of course, security, confidentiality and access control are imperative in any legal setting. Administrators determine who has access to which documents, with the ability to customize each user’s accessibility so that some users can view certain information that others cannot.
The software tracks who has accessed, downloaded, printed and/or e-mailed any document within the data. Similarly, it logs each person’s hours spent reviewing documents for both security and billing purposes.
Software as a service (SaaS) benefits
ImageDepot™ is a “Software-as-a-Service,” or “SaaS.” Therefore, it is available on-demand for fast implementation with minimal setup required. It requires no up front hardware or software purchase or ongoing maintenance fees, and has no user license fees.
Rather, ImageDepot™ costs are based on a per-gigabyte data load with a monthly hosting fee. Services include unlimited on-line training and free software support.
Just think – if you have never before used a service like this, you are poised to discover one of the most powerful tools available to the modern legal profession. Click here to contact Digital Current to learn more about ImageDepot™.
