Your documents have an image to uphold—maintaining their integrity as they morph from paper to electronic. Evidence comes in all shapes, sizes and sources. The sheer volume of paper and electronic data in any case can be overwhelming—let alone the potential magnitude that simple mistakes when converting it from one format to another can have before, during and after the litigation process.
Imaging and Coding Services take more than just paying attention to details and people who can read between the lines. It takes people who live between them.
Someone once said “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Translated for the litigation industry—“An image is worth a thousand boxes”. Imaging (taking a picture or scanning) is simply the process of converting paper or electronic documents into universally accepted tools and formats for the legal community.
At Xact Data Discovery (XDD), we use the iPRO imaging suite and a myriad of other tools to image and provide all types of load files for use with Summation, Concordance, Ringtail, and all other industry accepted review and document management tools. XDD’s imaging services also include:
Anyone can take a picture, right? However, classifying, organizing, finding and understanding what each image entails are where the devil truly meets the details. Coding is merely the process of manually entering “metadata” from images into a data file type. Coding is often performed at the end of the imaging process just before packaging and delivery. Almost any kind of data can be entered as part of the coding process, yet most commonly, clients require the following standard coded fields:
Document coding significantly improves your legal team’s review time by allowing them to zero in on the documents they are searching for. Whether performed on or offshore, XDD’s Coding services are performed by highly qualified experts who “meta-phorically” speaking prefer to look at meta-data rather than the pictures themselves.
