What problem do you solve?

Traction to date. JDocs as an eDiscovery service is slowing gaining traction with small firms in its Beta testing stage. FlexFile as a product has received great feedback from demos presented to ideal customers. A beta sign-up list is being created and released shortly.
Plan for growth over next five years. We’re planning on continuing our beta testing the JDocs eDiscovery platform and building its customer base. FlexFile will be designed to easily integrate with JDocs eDiscovery, so we expect many of our eDiscovery users to use FlexFile. Of course, FlexFile can be used as an independent product and once we finish its development, we plan on visiting legal technology tradeshows around the country and distributing free product trials we’re confident in the products value. After we see initial traction and perfect the product the plan is to work with a sales and marketing firm to assist in its growth.
