One of a business' most important assets is the information stored in its information systems, document imaging repositories, and files, Unfortunately, most businesses are only scratching the surface of what can be done with that information, as most cannot search the contents of documents for key words and phrases that would help them find and organize documents more effectively and efficiently than simply indexing the documents by date, client, or other means. Finding specific documents in an imaging system that touch on a subject but are not indexed by that subject can be near impossible.
The legal profession is years ahead of the rest of the business world, in that it recognized the inherent value of full text search capability decades ago, and powerful services like Lexis and Westlaw have made fortunes providing full text search capability for large legal databases. Now such capabilities can be added to virtually any repository of documents or data. Premirus consultants have great depth of experience in implementing such solutions.
Premirus consultants have years of experience designing and implementing full text search solutions for business and government. Premirus consultants created one of the largest repositories of legal information on the internet, with millions of documents, including court rules and forms, state appellate court decisions, federal appellate court decisions, U.S. Supreme Court decisions, state and federal statutes, and international legal documents, as well as millions of citation cross references. Premirus consultants have worked with data repositories from a few hundred documents to terabytes of data.
Premirus specializes in the creation of large, integrated document solutions that include powerful full text research capabilities, multilevel indexing, fielded searches, powerful automatic cross referencing, integrated OCR and Document Imaging, and other features. The largest implementations completed by Premirus consultants are hybrid combinations of SQL Server, dtSearch, and other industry leading components.
