Electronic Document Discovery asses many things, and not just an eye catching look. Consider the list below and ask yourself how much of this you were aware of already (feel free to print and use as a checklist when you hunt for the right consultant - or feel free to call us!):Documents are rarely in the physical form these days. Most documents are being created in the electronic format, and even physical documents are being converted into electronic formats. Several devices, such as CD/DVD ROMs, floppy disks, hard drives and tapes, are being commonly used to store documents. Document transfer is also in the electronic form through e-mails or the Internet and intranets.When documents are created electronically, they are stored in temporary files.

Never discount the power of consistency in a brand. When it comes down to visual appeal, nothing is more detrimental than being all over the map with color and design.
