subject: What Is Managed Document Review? [print this page] If your business is one that relies on strict records, you're familiar with the labor involved in reviewing them periodically. The task of examining each record, extracting data from it and collecting it in a usable format is a lengthy and difficult one. Managed document review does all of that for its clients, saving them the time, expense and lost productivity that can result from in-house document review.
Managed Document Review vs. In-House Review: A Cost Analysis
Managed document review means that, instead of reassigning existing staff, or hiring temps, you will have at your disposal a staff of professionals that focus exclusively on this task. Rather than struggling to manage everything, your staff will be able to focus on the tasks you hired them to do and what they are trained at. This means that there won't be any delays in existing tasks or the need to train people on something new. Both of these things can lead to lost revenue, decreased productivity or, worst of all, a negative review from an unhappy client.
Instead of risking your reputation, rely on dedicated managed document review staff that can give your records and files the attention they (and your clients) deserve. Every completed file will be one more document you know has been accurately and attentively reviewed. And, that's peace of mind that is priceless.
Efficiency
Hiring a temporary staff member or training an employee on an unfamiliar task results in decreased efficiency and productivity. Time after time, this happens. Each time a skilled employee is taken away from what he or she does best, clients notice. And, while these measures may seem less expensive, in the long run, they're not. Taking the time to choose a qualified managed document review service will keep your staff focused on what they do best. And, you'll find that the staff at managed document review services is well-trained in the best methods to extract data from even the most complex files.
Reliability and Speed
In-house staff cannot focus all of their time and effort on a document review session. Therefore, reviews will take significantly longer and results can be questionable. Managed document review services devote their time and staffing specifically for managed review. Therefore projects are completed faster and results are more reliable, especially in legal settings, than having an in-house staff member review and collaborate on the documents
