Effective litigation support demands the efficient use of high volumes of raw information, including email databases, legacy document repositories and CDs of discovery information. Extracting and preparing documents manually for use in a Litigation Support system like Summation or Concordance is tedious, time consuming and error prone.

Discovery material must pass through several processes to optimize its value in Document Management and Litigation Support systems, including:

• Conversion to accessible formats (PDF or TIFF)
• Image content rendered searchable (OCR)
• Unique page IDs (Bates Numbers) applied
• Preserve/embed/delete metadata

Adlib software empowers law firms, corporate legal departments and legal consultants to implement an in-house high volume document processing system to effectively support litigation documentation requirements. Until now, this was a service that was traditionally outsourced with large service bureaus.

Adlib automates the conversion of hundreds of document formats to PDF, Text and image formats such as TIFF, JPG and PNG. With our advanced publishing features — including OCR, document merge/split, metadata embedding, watermarking and PDF security— Adlib software dramatically enhances litigation support workflow processes.

Adlib's software can be implemented as a stand-alone solution or integrated with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. Our web service interface provides cross-platform accessibility to ECMs running on different operating systems. Scalability is based on a distributed computing architecture; as publishing demands increase, adding another Express Server increases capacity without a loss in performance. The combination of flexibility, modularity and scalability ensures Adlib is capable of meeting the largest litigation challenge.
