TIFF Conversion

The process of converting electronically stored information (ESI) to a single format, namely TIFF, is necessary for many reasons. By converting to a paginated format, each document can easily be bates labeled, electronically branded, or redacted, and produced as an acceptable format to call upon in court. In addition, it alleviates the need for multiple viewers to be installed on machines used for review, and guarantees that each document is being reviewed correctly. This process supplements a native review production, giving you all of its benefits and more. The conversion process can be performed initially on the entire data set, or after your documents have been reviewed and tagged natively.

While converting your entire document set to TIFF upfront can be extremely cost prohibitive, it is sometimes considered the only option when short deadlines are enforced and there is little time for a document production post-review. Alternatively, conversion to TIFF upfront may actually save money if the licensing of a particular piece of software for all review machines becomes excessive. Regardless of cost, TIFF images can be redacted and endorsed while native files cannot without modifying critical metadata. Also, once in TIFF format, your review team can easily perform productions without additional vendor consultation.
