“With all the technology out there, advancements in new software or products can definitely get overwhelming. Some is so specific that it might not be the best time to implement it, but we want to be aware of it at the very least.” – Mike Tisa, Director of Litigation Technology

The holiday season is in full swing and we are asking our clients what is at the top of their wish lists. We feel a strong contender for the number one spot should be technology. More specifically, an investment in a court reporting firm that is staying current with the latest products and developments in litigation technology.
Aptus Court Reporting makes it a priority to invest and research the latest trends in technology and help firms ease into using new processes when applicable. We currently offer clients a strong lineup of services to keep our company and our clients on the forefront of what is most valuable in the legal, litigation, and technology worlds including:
· Web-based Video Conferencing
· Digital Recording for video depositions
· Online Exhibit Repository (Hosting)
· Real-Time Reporting
· Conference Rooms with HDMI and VGA inputs on the table (San Diego office only)
Technology can seem like a big hurdle to overcome since it is always changing. However, the correct use and the proper knowledge of it can make efficiency and production easier with optimal results. What sets our court reporting firm apart is our drive and enthusiasm to not only connect with our clients, but making sure they understand the value our services provide.
Got a plan in place for your litigation and technology needs in 2014? We will continue to push to bring you the latest and best for the new year.
We want to wish all of our clients happy holidays!
