CASE STUDY

 An AMLAW top 100 firm had a project that was part of an MDL. The litigation team needed to utilize a database in a format that all members were familiar with, that enabled them to collaborate with one another throughout the project, and that provided an area in which to build their trial presentation. End users of the database software were located around the world, requiring access from anywhere at any time. The firm also did not have the infrastructure in place to provide access to the hosted database for parties outside the firm itself.

THE eDI SOLUTION

After examining the firm's needs and capabilities, eDI identified that most end users had experience with Summation software. Through the SaaS offering, eDI provided the Summation application, enabling the firm to fully administer the software and to maintain total control of the data and the processing. eDI also provided training to the parties who were not familiar with Summation. The Verdical case management product was also made available through eDI's SaaS offering, and a customized routing was created to transfer the necessary documents out of Summation and into Verdical, so the team could prepare for the depositions and trial.

CASE RESULT

This solution enabled the team to utilize a software application they were familiar with, maintain total project control, and provide worldwide access to all parties through Web-hosting, with no front-end requirement on the part of the firm to expand their network.
