Client needed to reduce overhead costs of in-house litigation support department. 119 employees supported a national effort for the legal department.
AmDoc acquired the facility, network, hardware and software, and hired the client's former employees to perform the work. Introducing streamlined practices, over 100% improvement in throughput was achieved within three months. Client costs were reduced by offering a "per-unit" price rather than hourly task costs.
