If you're attuned to the e-discovery industry, you may be convinced that cloud-based and hosted options are the only way to review documents. The size of electronically stored information in today's litigation matters surpasses the power and capacity of the computers sitting on our desks. But is there a market for desktop litigation software?

For many years, law firms have run desktop software for document review but these legacy products have become decrepit and frustrating in their modern-day limitations. And just like people still buy vinyl records even though they can stream any music they desire, law firms are still resolved to run local software that offers more direct control over their litigation support routines.

Ipro Tech is no stranger to the litigation support world since its scanning products are the gold standard for service providers (eCapture) and law firms (eScan-IT). Ipro's Web-based Eclipse platform offers every modern convenience for document review, but the company also provides desktop software called Eclipse SE.
