Internet Court Documents Business Plan


eDocFile is an electronic filing system for state courts. Every year, some 90 million cases and 1 billion legal documents move through the US court system. States cannot keep up with the volume of criminal and civil filings. The number of federal court cases continues its dramatic rise year after year. In addition, courts continue to add judges and other judicial officers to handle the work.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of the judicial processes are not automated. It is imperative that there be a cost-effective integrated digital solution using the available technology. eDocFile is an online solution that can transform the practice of law. It’s cost-effective and simple to use. eDocFile offers much more than simply sending documents back and forth. It’s a digital bridge that connects the electronic worlds the court and law firms. It allows law firms and courts to exchange and access all case data, and not just documents.

E-Filing makes it possible for courts to immediately access court documents. Instead of calling archives and asking for a document to find, copy, and deliver, E-Filing will allow courts to access documents instantly. Judges can access documents from their computers. Electronic storage of court documents is possible, saving millions of dollars and making them more accessible. An attorney can view docket information or schedules on the Internet. He/she can pay filing fees, download documents immediately from the court, see case documents and exhibits, as well as track the work of opposing counsel.

Efficiency is clearly a major benefit for both courts and law firms. This efficiency comes from being able instantly to access information, communicate, and transact business from any computer. eDocFile offers a simple to use yet comprehensive system that facilitates the flow of information from one party to another in an efficient, cost-effective and seamless manner.

If electronic filing is so beneficial, then why don’t all of us use it? There have been many small projects in the United States. Many have failed, been stopped or are considered’requirements&#8221′ projects for future system. None have achieved a sufficient net benefit to court efficiency in order to secure funding for the infrastructure.

The primary problems relate to the technology. Although electronic filing has been around for some time, many of its components are not new. But, technology is what’s limiting the possibilities. In the last few years, the power of personal computer technology has improved significantly, and costs have declined. The cost of data storage has dropped from over $1,000 per megabyte for early PCs to below five cents per gigabyte today. This price drops approximately 50% each year. It was only a few years back that there was no universal network of communications with standard protocols and interfaces available to link all our systems.

Even today, security and scalability issues on the Internet have not been completely resolved. eDocFile is able to solve these issues and provide a unified e-filing/document management system for both national and state courts. As we transform from a small player to the most prominent legal Internet portal, we will gain brand recognition and market share. We also generate sustainable revenue streams that will finance growth and the development of new products.

1.1 Mission


Our mission is to listen carefully to the needs of our customers in order to meet them. To do so, we aim to be the leader in secure and easy-to use electronic filing systems used by courts and judicial authorities.

eDocFile aims to provide small and medium sized courts with the ability to automate filing and document management by using a Web-based extranet. Lawyers within these jurisdictions may file documents with the court electronically from the convenience of their private workspace, all the while allowing courts to manage cases and dockets more efficiently and cost effectively. By combining electronic filing and document management in one Web based extranet system, eDocFile provides to clients, both courts and lawyers, the best litigation management system with minimum restrictions on software and hardware constraints, yet the broadest individual choice of technological functionality.

1.2 Objectives

eDocFile will evolve over a three-phase concurrent development process.

Knowledge Knowing customers and the services they require is key to your company’s success. Also, be familiar with the market. This cycle requires planning, research, and development. This phase has the following objectives:

  • Before extranet’s beta version is released, it is important to be experts in the legal markets.
  • Beta version should be completed within three months from capital formation.
  • Establish good working relationships with court systems by meeting with their decision-makers and plotting a mutual plan for success based on trust, reliability and service.
  • Get commitments for support, services and products by May Year 1 to support the launch of EDocFile in August Year 1.

Earning

eDocFile’s market position will promote earnings and growth in new customers through marketing, sales, customer service, execution of action plan, and continuing learning.

  • eDocFile is the market leader in safe, reliable and simple Web-based electronic filing between courts and lawyers thanks to its brand recognition and brand awareness.
  • Many target courts are without a comprehensive computer management system; our easy to use Web based extranet system allows our customers to manage filings and internal document management.
  • Market metrics can be used to assess market penetration success. They include market presence in the top fifteen legal markets of the country, market shares, customer satisfaction ratings, click through traffic, and market share. eDocFile will aim to increase this number semi-annually, until it reaches market dominance.
  • In the middle to second year, start generating positive cash flow.

Returning

Internet companies often have a problem balancing the need for long-term sustainability and profit with changing needs. We believe that eDocFile is able to balance the needs of customers, employees, and shareholders by adopting a policy whereby we give back to the community. This cycle has the following objectives:

  • The mission statement should reflect the founders’ values. It should also give a mandate for culture development that will attract and keep the best and brightest talents.
  • Develop a comprehensive holistic internal structure that is responsive to market demands and rapid change. This model is based upon the notion of “a continuous learning organisation” (with the training and marketing functionality binding all the organizations).
  • Develop value-added modules that will launch eDocFile from a niche player to the premier legal portal on the Web by 2006. This involves creating features that are action-oriented. Customers will be able to take things off their to-do list forever by using these modules.

A balanced and focused approach of developing products with the customer in mind by enthusiastic and innovative employees will ensure the success of eDocFile, ultimately leading to increased shareholder value.
