We evaluated various alternatives for fulfilling this request. Our 5 year experience in dealing with offshore service providers in other industries led us to assessing what was available in the legal area. Litigation coding is not a typical data entry task; a certain level of understanding and comprehension of the litigation process is required. Especially important is having the ability to offer subjective coding to supplement the objective bibliographic coding. Our do-diligence resulted in our now having an offshore facility with highly educated and trained operators delivering high volume, high quality services with rapid turnaround; all at very economical rates. As our experience proves, using the offshore model to fully support the litigation service needs of our clients has resulted in higher client satisfaction.

Document Indexing An accurate index to all documents must be established to facilitate selecting and retrieving for viewing and copying purposes. The design of the index is very important, not only because it is the key to finding documents, but also because it has a great impact on conversion schedules and initial as well as ongoing costs. An index can be very simple or quite complex. A simple index may point only to a folder. That folder may contain a product description, transcripts, letters and memos, lab test results, etc . The folder-level index will locate only the desired folder; you will have to browse the file each time you need a document and user time to find the desired document is greater than in a system that indexes individual documents. For an in-depth system, each document is indexed. (Note that a document can have many pages, but each page would normally not be indexed.) Some types of documents and applications (transcripts of meetings, published articles, speeches) require indexing by subject, topic, and key words. In the most complex indexes, almost every word is included, such as in legal depositions and transcripts of trials. Depending on the nature of the documents and your overall objectives, the significant information elements can be one or any combination of the following and more: Document title Document type; letter, memo, voucher Author/originating organization Recipient/target organization Document number Date of document/generation Date document received File classification code Retention period Destruction date and who authorized Key words Relationship of document to other documents or groups of documents Large Volume Data Entry - Data entry for invoices, traffic citations, health care and insurance claims, coupon/rebates, titles plants, and other forms.
