Internet technology provides tremendous advantages for the management of any complex matter and is indispensable for the effective management of a catastrophic event and the implementation of a cost-effective response plan. The Fire and Electrical Liability practice group has teamed with Interfile LLC to develop Interfile’s™ e-Case™ software program – an online litigation support and case management Application Service Provider offering 100% browser-based litigation support for clients.
This system is secure, as Internet transcriptions are encrypted and not decoded until they reach the computer terminal of a user who is specifically authorized to receive the transmission. Even the system administrator does not have access to the decoded information. With the use of the Interfile’s™ e-Case’s™ system, real time case management, plan development and plan implementation information is accessible from any Internet location. Not only is information available for review, but it allows authorized users to input information, comment, edit and fully participate in the management, development and implementation of the plan.
Clients, attorneys, experts, insurers and any other authorized users can work together from remote locations with all of the case information for their respective roles available to them 24 hours a day. Scene photographs and digital recordings can be instantly forwarded from the field. Investigation activities can be monitored and directed from afar. Interview transcripts are available as they occur. Review and follow-up takes place immediately. Critical or voluminous documents are available for review without the costs and time delays of producing multiple photocopies for physical transport to other sites. Communications take place easily and within the program.
The Interfile’s™ e-Case’s™ system reduces and often eliminates numerous costs traditionally associated with the management of a catastrophic event and the development and implementation of a response plan. When litigation ensues, the cost savings multiply. Time delays are eradicated, as are the costs associated with them. Valuable input can be accessed from more sources without the expense and inconvenience of travel. Most importantly, those who must make decisions, who must know what is occurring and what is underway, stay involved and informed. They are apprised and active participants throughout the entire response process. For more information on the benefits of this service visit: www.interfile.us
