client need
Develop a corporate standard for storing and managing legal documentation
A change in tax code created an opportunity for our client, a large oil and gas exploration company. Initially, they dealt with mostly paper-based legal contracts, however decided that they needed to digitize their contracts. Additionally, each department maintained their own filing system for contracts, resulting in duplicate copies and different versions of documents.
why Epiq?
The client was impressed with our experience and ability to identify and code legal documentation and store it in an enterprise document management platform.
