Document Coding

iBridge provides high quality coding and data conversion services at very competitive prices.  We have processed millions of documents over the years.  We also offer multilingual coding capabilities.  Recent projects include: Labor and Employment; Patent Infringement; Securities/White Collar Crimes; Internal Investigations; M&A; Oil and Gas;  Media and Telecom / Communications; and Commercial Litigation.

No two legal cases are the same.  However, despite the uniqueness of each case, the standards and methods of data capture of scanning images remain the same. We provide a small allowance for a minimal degree of customization to meet the requirements of the case and of the data hosting platform.

Legal coding of a document is best defined as taking specific common information from a document and placing it in a format to enable the documents to be categorized.  Once a document is categorized, it can be accessed by viewing documents matching that same category.

When coding a set of documents, the coding team is cognizant of the information to be captured and the guidelines related to the capture of this information.  For a coding project to be considered successful, it has to meet the following criteria:

Accuracy:  Names must be spelled correctly and entered in the proper project-specific format; dates and numbers are re-checked to ensure accuracy.

Consistency:  Decisions regarding information extraction must be consistent from one document to another.  Pre-defined coding guidelines are closely followed.

Completeness:  All information relevant to a document must be input in the correct  field of the database.

At iBridge, we are platform agnostic.  Depending on a client’s environment, we can code in real-time or process in batch.  We routinely log into commonly used applications to code documents, such as Summation, Concordance, and V-Code, or use our in-house proprietary applications.  The majority of our clients prefer to utilize our secure FTP servers to batch process overnight, utilizing the day for higher value production work.  The decision is left to the client – we guarantee accuracy rates of 99.5% or higher.

We are one of the five largest document coding service providers in the industry, which allows us to code in both real-time and in batches.  Many processing providers call on us to provide coding services to augment their limited capabilities or to help them meet deadlines.
