Primafact is both powerful and simple to use. The power comes from having Primafact centrally file all your paper and electronic documents so they are immediately accessible. The key to a winning strategy with Primafact is to ensure that the sets of documents you store in the system are complete and authoritative.

About Back-Scanning
It is not necessary to back scan all of your open matters into Primafact in order to get started.
Back-scanning can be a time consuming and expensive process. What we do recommend is for you to “cherry pick” and back-scan one or two matters per lawyer to kick off your Primafact project. These matters are ones that you don’t believe will settle imminently and have an important milestone (such as a discovery or trial) in the relatively near future. Using this approach, you will realize the full value of your investment in Primafact in a much more timely and efficient way.
