Framework is a web-based, project management tool that unifies all resources within a litigation support department – people, knowledge, workflow, tasks and projects –all in one central repository.

As a litigation support professional you may have one job title, but you have many jobs. And you likely don’t have the luxury of just one, simple project either. In fact, you probably have multiple ongoing projects that require constant organization and prioritization, essentially turning your role into a multi–layered, multi–dimensional project manager. And while juggling varied responsibilities, you need to make it all come together within tight deadlines.

As your projects increase in complexity—involving multiple departments, teams, locations, clients and vendors—risks increase too. So it's essential to have the one tool you need to manage the multiple aspects of your most critical projects.

Framework offers that ONE tool you need for your Litigation Support Department:

• ONE centralized location to share information involved in all projects: workflow tasks and best practices, documents, calendars, chain of custody, media tracking, production logs, and more.
• ONE tool to streamline interaction, communication and workflow to get the job done more effectively
• ONE location to access critical project information and knowledge by all resources who need to be involved: litigation support, partners, associates, paralegals, clients, and vendors

Our clients experience these immediate benefits:

Customizable: Add your logo and law firm color scheme, integrate our site with your time & billing system, SharePoint, etc. i-Framework was developed with the thinking of one size fits few and customizing the system to your department's specific and growing workflow and needs is part of our unique offering.

Import & Use Past Data: Firms using in-house built systems, Access, Excel, MS Projects, etc. can import their past and current data from those systems. This eliminates the need to access your former system and run "Parallel" processes. You can have all of your past and current project details in i-Framework to run reports, status updates, etc.

Web-Based System: The application is installed on our servers and all you need is a web browser and an internet connection. It is the quickest way to get started and is ideal for litigation support departments that want to avoid software management (installation, upgrades, backups, etc). Framework takes care of backups, upgrades, availability and security. It is also ideal for those who travel and need anytime-anywhere access as you do not have to worry about firewall issues and exposing your private network to a possible security breach.

User Friendly: Framework’s Intuitive interface does not require hours of training and was developed specifically from input and guidance of litigation support managers of large law firms.

Escape from IT overload: Your IT department is liberated from installing, maintaining, updating and patching another software tool. Because Framework is completely browser-based, there's no software to download, install, or maintain. You will be up and running fast.
