The volume of paper associated with discovery remains substantial, even with the explosion in
eDiscovery. And the challenge of integrating paper collections with digital documents adds another layer of complexity – and expense.
Merrill understands that top-quality, quick-response reprographic services are critical to your success. And we deliver – on time and on budget.
Merrill crafts a comprehensive solution to fit all your paper as well as ESI discovery needs – finding efficiencies and reducing costs. The technologies surrounding paper-based data are well-understood, but managing the process for optimum results takes experience, rigor and strategic discipline. Merrill's proven track record, combined with our integrated solution approach, assures litigators that the documents they need will be at their fingertips when they need them.
Merrill understands the challenges you face
- Organizations must choose between allocating vital resources to strategic projects or tactical, day-to-day activities.
- Many cases involve high document volumes and tight timeframes.
- The process of converting paper to image files, coupled with coding and OCR, needs to be managed carefully to assure quality and meet deadlines.
- A single process and system for reviewing documents is essential, so paper, once processed into computer format, can be merged with electronic discovery data.
- Quick conversion, easy foldering and organization (i.e. witness binders or chronologies), and fast printing are vital to meeting production and case prep requirements.
Merrill provides solutions to meet your needs
- Experienced project managers oversee all aspects of the scanning, coding, review facilitation and productions.
- Scalable infrastructure allows for flexibility in order to meet the high demands of your case.
