The electronic world is here to stay. Every day the amount of e-mails sent continue to explode in quantity and size. According to the Radicati Group, in the first quarter of 2006, and estimated number of e-mails sent per day was 171 billion by over 1.1 billion users. This does not take into account the amount of electronic data in the form of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the thousands of other programs that are stored on users’ own hard drives. In 2001, the American Bar estimated that more than 90% of all documents produced in a trial were either in electronic format or once were. The latest statistics are surely higher.

Electronic communication (e-mail) and other electronic documents are the primary resource upon which businesses conduct their operations on a daily basis. It is critical to be able to identify and understand how this data is captured and implemented. At Barefoot Digital Solutions, our electronic discovery software produces the necessary data quickly, allowing importation of potential evidence into widely used litigation support databases such as Summation and Concordance.

Barefoot Digital Solutions can provide inventory reports consisting of various data concerning information being processed. Meta Data can also be extracted and formed to build powerful, fielded and searchable information for litigation support databases. Some electronic documents are not intended to be printed or converted to images. These files have macros, hyperlinks or other types of interactive programming that allow or require the document to be altered by the user and will change as the user enters more data. We ensure that our clients receive access to these specific files by including the original file and its path and link from the litigation support database. These files can be opened in their native application to validate complete integrity.

We have all heard it! It is an information economy. We believe it. Managing a company or law firms information – from papers processed for work already performed leads to a competitive edge in this knowledge economy.

At Barefoot Digital Solutions, Inc., we can scan documents, photos, oversized drawings of floor plans and even x-Rays. Scanning offers so many benefits. The average executive spends 40% of his time looking for documents. With scanning there is no more losing or misplacing documents, getting documents out of order, no more damaged documents.

You can search through thousands of pages in a matter of seconds with our software for key words. It also saves much needed and expensive office space by digitizing paper. We can provide our scanning on any type of media (CD, DVD, Jump Drive, Server or even the Internet).
