ASA has assembled a comprehensive database of its clients, consultants, and cases.  All the data we collect are carefully organized -- some of it stretches back several decades.

One of our ongoing tasks is to make improvements to the usefulness of this data in order to add value to the service we provide our clients, especially in these areas:

 Making Quality Referrals
ASA's primary job is the referral of experts to our clients.  Our proprietary database has been refined to make this job more effective.

Here's how: ASA not only collects a wealth of information about its experts, but about the cases they work on and the issues they deal with.  We can search this information using advanced data-mining techniques to connect you with the exact right expert.

In this way, we can make subtle distinctions between experts based upon many factors, among them: geographic location; scheduling conflicts; experience in testimony; percentage of plaintiff or defense cases; experience with the subject issues of the case; and publications and research pertinent to the case facts.

 Case Management
Our ability to effectively manage ongoing cases is greatly enhanced by our database resources.  During a phone conversation, for example, we can instantly call up relevant information about a specific case, including activity and billing.  This makes interacting with ASA a snap.

 Information Gathering and Research 
ASA conducts and catalogues extensive research on experts, universities, areas of expertise, business trends, and litigation.

Thus, not only are the quality of our expert referrals improved, but we can pass along useful information to our clients about a range of issues -- at no cost and often during the course of a simple phone call.
