EVIDENCE EXCHANGE REPORTS 75% SAVINGS IN TRIAL OF
SECURE DIGITAL PHOTOCOPIER
(NEW YORK, NY) March 20, 2001
Initial test trials of Evidence Exchange's Secure Digital Photocopier (SDP)
have achieved a 75% savings of time and cost over current computer discovery
practices when the final output is paper. An even greater savings can be realized
if paper productions are eliminated entirely. The substantial elimination
of paper from the discovery process has been a long discussed, yet unattained
goal of lawyers and technologists. Five years ago, the primary source of discovery
materials was 75% paper. Today, 75% of source material exists only in an electronic
format. Within three years, federal courts will be mandating the use of PDF
for all filings and pleadings. Since some of the records will already exist
in PDF, the idea of using a secure, branded form of PDF for the exchange of
evidentiary materials and the long-term preservation of trial exhibits, makes
good economic sense.
The Secure Digital Photocopier (SDP) process takes electronic files of any format and converts them to readable, searchable and printable PDF files while it digitally notarizes them. It then creates a CD-ROM library of PDF files that are numbered, marked and branded. The use of the SDP saves time and money, while reducing the risks of mismanaged discovery by solving the problem of authenticating digital evidence at trial.
