Business Challenge
Today, in the beginning of the 21st century, many companies which in early 1980s had switched to
“paperless office” solutions now face the serious problem of preserving vast amounts of data they accommodated during these years of paperless work. There are many points to consider, including data formats aging and becoming obsolete, and, as such, unreadable and almost unrecoverable, media aging, so that data recorded on a brand-new discs today would be impossible to read in the future, as there will be no players for these discs, and many others.
Since it is impossible to preserve everything, there should be a simpler solution. Electronic-discovery tools typically convert documents to a common data format for viewing but carry with them important metadata, such as when and where they're created. Documents can be searched using keywords, then categorized into subsets. For example, a legal team providing documents to the opposing side could hold back all documents marked confidential and irrelevant.
Because 93 percent of all new data is created digitally, it is imperative that law firms and corporate counsel employ an effective e-Discovery strategy to retain the integrity of their digital documentation archives.
An industry leader in providing e-Discovery solutions, CaseData, contacted Intelsys with request to develop an e-Discovery system capable of high volume distributed conversion of multiple office file formats into TIFF images.
It was necessary to first obtain a clear understanding of the existing systems in order to formulate the correct requirements.
