Specification of review platform differs from provider to provider. In the selection of a service you will use, you need to examine if the service can respond to these different review platforms.
General scanning service
Impossibility
General scanning companies don't have a function of programing that correlates necessary data and realizes a series of functions even if they can create image data.
For this reason, in general scanning service, it is impossible to do coding data necessary in e-discovery and create loadfile.
Xebec’s “Paper Discovery service”

Availability of flexible response to "on-site" service
Generally paper probative document scanning service offers from evidential document collection at litigant companies to scanning at scan center. However an increasing number of companies want to avoid transferring their documents outside even though these are evidential documents. Then "on-site" service meets their requirements. Without taking evidential documents outside, all processes for scanning can be done at litigant company's site. Availability of "on-site" service can be a feature demonstrating expertise and ability of the professional e-discovery support company.
General scanning service
Many companies are not
In most cases, general scanning service can't correspond to "on-site" work.
For "on-site" works, movable scanning equipments and well-prepared scanning teams are necessary. Also it can't be implemented without the technology and know-how.
Xebec’s “Paper Discovery service”
"On-site" service available anywhere in Japan
Xebec has built up more and more scanning projects at client's site (=on-site scanning projects) throughout company history.

These technology and know-how are our original properties we have accumulated throughout our company history. Xebec's "Paper Discovery service" was developed after the long history of company and hoard.
Using general scanning service in e-discovery is synonymous with increasing your risks.
Most of general scanning companies don't understand basis for e-discovery fully. Therefore it is highly likely that works and accomplishments needed by ordering party can't be produced.
We would have to say that this is a large and serious risk for you.
It may be said that which you should use, the general scanning service or the service by the professional e-discovery support company, is obvious.
