Increasingly, in-house counsel are being called upon to maximize resources while minimizing costs during an era of corporate belt-tightening and travel restrictions.

It's always a challenge to do more with less - and whether you are taking, participating in, assisting or just overseeing the depositions, I-DEP^® can keep you connected to every deposition without leaving your desk. An ideal tool for keeping in touch with the activities and performance of outside counsel, I-DEP allows you to do it all right from your office computer.

There are several ways I-DEP can keep you working better and smarter:

1. Attend remotely: save time, save costs, avoid travel.
The most obvious benefit of I-DEP allows in-house counsel to monitor, participate in or even take a deposition remotely. Avoid scheduling conflicts, avoid airport delays, avoid wasting time. In short, I-DEP is for any and all depositions that require your attention, but not your physical presence.

2. However, critical depositions may demand your on-site attendance.
When the deposition is too important to attend remotely, I-DEP also allows attorneys to bring additional resources to the deposition as off-site participants. I-DEP allows key resources to be utilized - such as:

• Trusted colleagues.
• Expert witnesses.
• Associates who are fresh on the case details.
• Paralegals to begin marking up the transcript.

Simply put, multiple minds allow you to become many times more effective when taking critical depositions. Plus, they are able to stay in their offices and apply more knowledge and communication than if they were actually attending - right through our private chat feature.

3. Review the deposition anytime, from anywhere.

With I-DEP On-line Access Services, I-DEP archives the deposition, synching the transcript and video and is available through any online computer. This allows corporate counsel to:

• Always have a copy of the video available - without having to pay a videographer.
• Edit the transcript and add notes.
• Take true transcript management to the next level - search the video just by doing a keyword search on the transcript.

A wonderful tool for review, for transcript editing, for witness prep and for trial, I-DEP is the only one that offers this revolutionary service.

What are your legal department's biggest challenges?

• Budget constraints.
• Management/oversight of outside counsel.
