Key Features and Benefits

Sophisticated Litigation Document Management.  Document intensive cases demand a full-featured litigation support document review application.  To do otherwise puts a firm at a distinct disadvantage to other (often larger) firms that can bring more technology resources to bear.  Lexbe Online offers a "powerful litigation document management service" to handle these cases, according to a TechnoLawyer reviewer.

• Maintain the important  technology edge in your cases. 
• Be productive immediately with our full set of standard litigation coding/tags to organize your electronic stored information (ESI).
• Unlimited custom tags enable sophisticated document organization and filtering.
• Local folder structure of documents replicated and usable in Lexbe Online.

Sizzling Fast Search.  Search is the backbone of a litigation support database.  Search capacity must be fast, accurate and comprehensive in order to identify important documents for a variety of purposes, including finding the often elusive 'smoking gun' email.  Features of Lexbe Online's search include:

• Indexed search returns results of even large data sets in seconds.
• Simple 'Google'-like interface makes finding documents easy and intuitive.
• Advanced features include stemming (search includes root derivations), concept search (search includes synonyms) and fuzzy search (search tolerant of misspellings and OCR errors).
• Full Boolean search supported.
• Search index automatically updates with new documents added.
• Filter search results by Lexbe's standard or your custom fields and tags.

Case Analysis Support.  The legal team that best understands the case facts and evidence has a tremendous advantage.  Lexbe Online enables you to go beyond the documents to the critically important organization of key facts, case participants, issues  and research in your cases.

• Identify key case facts in documents and transcripts and include in issue-based dynamic timelines.  Facts linked back to supporting documents for quick, relevant access.
• Chart case participants (parties, deponents, witnesses, etc.) and link to case facts.
• Keep and share notes linked to documents, but viewable and searchable as whole.
• Maintain legal research in a shared environment.

Power Through Productions.  Lexbe Online includes a fully-featured production module that enables you to quickly and accurately prepare document productions.

• Tag documents with built-in fields such as 'responsive', 'privileged', work-product', 'confidential' , 'atty eyes only', 'key', as well as with unlimited custom fields you create as needed to issue-code documents.
• Automatically generate downloadable privilege log and production log.
• Bates stamp PDFs (page level) and native documents (file level).
• Create and download production sets yourself without extra 'document extraction' fees charged by some other document management systems and litigation support vendors.

Full PDF Integration.  PDFs are now the preferred, if not required, document format used by courts.  PDFs are also a popular format for litigation productions, as PDFs can be viewed by anyone without the need to install specialty software.  Lexbe Online offers extensive support of and integration with PDF documents and Adobe Acrobat, reducing the learning curve and making it easy for your litigation team to be productive quickly without the need for extensive special training.

• PDF documents viewable in an integrated Adobe Acrobat reader, including document navigation, rotation, sizing, search, etc.
• Lexbe Online OCR engine automatically makes image PDFs text searchable (some quantity  limits).
• 'Fast view' web technology means that even very large PDF files display quickly.
• Our production module Bates stamps PDF documents at the page level.

Native Review Available.  Viewing electronic documents/ESI like Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook email in native format without conversion is becoming more popular to reduce processing or conversion costs in some cases, and when page-level Bates stamping is not required.  Lexbe Online includes extensive native review functionality:

• Over one hundred common file types supported in our native file viewer.
• Viewing Outlook MSG email and email attachments supported.
• Extracted native text used for search results--includes text in Outlook email attachments.
• Bates naming of native files (file level) supported in native file productions and mixed native-PDF file productions.

Simple Sharing and Collaboration.  Litigation success requires a well-functioning litigation team, and increasingly the team may be in different locations.  Sending documents by email can be confusing and unsecure.  Accessing legal documents through remote connections to LANs and  terminal servers can be slow, tedious and frustrating.  Lexbe Online instead allows fast, easy and fully-featured legal document management from anywhere at anytime.

• Allow litigation team members to work from home, on the road, at off-hours, etc., to increase productivity and fit differing schedules and needs.
• Enable persons in multiple offices, or in-house counsel or clients, to access and work on case documents.
• Ramp up case staff as needed with remote or contract attorneys, paralegals and support personnel.

Easy to Use.  We designed Lexbe Online to be used by legal professionals with no technical background.  Lexbe Online is "one of the easiest software applications to learn that I have ever used" according to one reviewer.  This contrasts with some litigation database systems that are extremely complicated, have a steep learning curve and require ongoing support by internal or external experts in the particular software.  Of course, our support team is always available to help as needed.

Fast Setup.  We can have a new account set up and ready for you in just hours, not the days, weeks or months it might take with other systems or applications. 

Designed for 'Do it Yourselfers'.  With Lexbe Online you can administer and manage your cases yourself.  No waiting for someone else to return an email or call. 

• Instantly add new users and start new cases. 
• Securely upload documents yourself--no need to go through a litigation support vendor.  'Load files' are not required.  If you have a lot of documents, we have low priced uploading services available as well.
• Download your documents from Lexbe Online anytime you want. Plus our Briefcase functionality allows you to export your case facts, tagging and notes as well.

Training and Support.  Your Lexbe Online account includes a free training session and support at no additional charge.  You know what your total cost will be in advance.

• Lexbe Online is designed to be easy-to-use.
• Multiple support options available: ticket system, email and phone.
• Support is U.S.-based.

Cloud Convenience. We offer Lexbe Online exclusively as a web-based application.  This is also known as software-as-a-service (SaaS), on-demand software, application server provider (ASP), hosted services and most recently 'cloud computing'.  Whatever the name, this modern service approach allows us to keep our costs low and pass the benefit on to you in the form of lower fees.  Cloud computing/SaaS as applied to litigation support provides you with other benefits as well:

• New features added every quarter, rather than every three years, as is often the case with traditional software vendors.
• No need for you to buy hardware or license software, or hire dedicated IT support personnel, or sign open-ended training and support contracts, to get the functionality you need.
• Align your costs with your revenue; don't burden your overhead with unused equipment costs and partially occupied specialty support personnel.
• Scale your costs and capacity up and down as needed.

Predictable Pricing.  Some litigation support vendors make an art form of hiding their prices.  We instead believe in full pricing transparency and that everyone should enjoy the same low pricing.  Our price schedule is online and it's simple to understand.  Plus, there is only one version of Lexbe: the full version!  You don't need to worry, as you do with some software systems, that you'll later find that you need additional expensive and confusing modules.

Committed  Customer Service.  Software can be no better than the quality of support.   We believe in the 'service' part of 'software as a service'.  Our customers regularly remark about our high service levels and fast response.

Pricing
    Pricing starts at only $99 per month, and we charge solely on the basis of users and storage used, so you pay only for what you need when you need it. There are no additional hidden charges.  Monthly pricing may allow pass-through of litigation document hosting costs to clients or as recoverable litigation costs, rather than internalization of a capital cost to purchase hardware and software, as well as the personnel costs to train and support a specialized software system.  We do not require extended contracts and you can cancel anytime.  This flexibility allows you to ramp usage and costs up and down as your litigation requires.  Learn more about Lexbe Online's pricing.
