You might think that a request to put together a multi-lingual, legal-specialist document scanning team at three days’ notice and to send them to a far-off corner of Eastern Europe was not an everyday occurrence but this is precisely what we have been asked to do twice in as many days.
This set me thinking. It is a common if understandable misconception that the process of digitising paper files (i.e. scanning) for review in connection with a litigation matter is a straightforward or even ‘commodity’ service; even without the complicating factor of the paper in question being many thousands of miles away in a foreign land. After all, the argument might go, why not pack everything off to a bulk scanning bureau, scan the whole lot at high speed and then see what we’ve got?
