Online technology is saving firms time & money, says Paul Sachs
Writing in NLJ recently His Honour Judge Simon Brown QC, the designated mercantile judge for the Midlands, noted that the digital age has “revolutionised the way we all instantly communicate around the globe, making paper documents anachronistic...Lawyers—including judges—must embrace new technologies if they are to be `fit for purpose’ in proportionate civil litigation; a recurring theme in the Jackson Report,” (NLJ, 8 June 2012, p 773).
Online “bundle technology” is designed to aid this transition and help law firms produce good bundles for less cost. Complementing the recent growth in eDiscovery tools, online bundle technology is taking the process past document identification and into shared electronic bundle delivery.

Managing partners often ask:“What are the benefits of online bundle technology to my law firm?”
Time and cost are the most important savings (not forgetting elimination of paper).
A typical bundle requires arduous hours of preparation by human hand, high stress levels, hours by the photocopier, and often results in spiralling costs.
