I. SERVICE OVERVIEW

 

Sfile SaaS delivers the following capabilities to our Customers.

Full Service Processing

Sfile uses a distributed computing architecture that allows multiple servers to work in parallel to full-text index metadata and content from electronic files. Sfile supports hundreds of email and file types including Microsoft Office 2007. De-NISTing of non-user files types  and flexible de-duplication rules can eliminate unwanted files from being reviewed.

 

Analysis & Culling

Proximity searching, fuzzy searching, Boolean arguments...we have them. Sfile’s analysis and culling features include: Advanced Search Builder, Saved Searches, Shared Searches, Bulk Tagging and Culling to a unique data set.

 

Review

Sfile is designed to review both electronic and paper documents in either non-linear or linear review models. Using Sfile's non-linear review model, instead of assigning tags to documents, users assign documents to tags. Sfile's Idox^TM image-on-the fly viewer accelerates review by displaying native files in TIFF, PDF and XML formats as users move between documents. Idox allows redactions to be performed immediately on the TIFF images without the need to wait for additional conversion.

 

Full Service Production

Sfile supports production in either native, TIFF or PDF file formats and the most popular load file types. Image production includes Bates numbering and Branding at no additional cost.

 

Remote Deployment Option

Sfile also offers a Remote Management option, where an Sfile server is deployed at your location and is operated remotely by Sfile.

      • The renewal storage amount will be based upon:
         • The actual repository size, which may grow due to the Customer duplicating data

            through the Culling features.
         • The index size
         • The database size (the database contains the Customer’s work product)
         • If additional data was added throughout the year, it will be invoiced on a pro-rated

           basis.
               • Example: Collection B was processed into the Sfile Review System in month 9 after

                the site was activated with Collection A. Collection A will be renewed at the full

                annual renewal rate. Collection B will be renewed at a pro-rated rate based on 3

                additional months of storage in order to align the storage renewal dates for

                Collection A and B.
