The Evolution of Document Comparisons
Document comparison has come a long way since its inception. In the 1980s, electronic comparisons began to emerge, revolutionizing how legal professionals compared and reviewed documents. These early tools laid the groundwork for the sophisticated systems we use today. As technology advanced, so did the capabilities of document comparison tools. By the 2000s, common formats and standards were established, further enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of comparisons.
The evolution continued with the introduction of XML formats, marking a significant milestone in the document comparison landscape. XML formats allowed for more precise and flexible comparisons, accommodating the growing complexity of legal documents. This progression culminated in the development of advanced tools like Litera Compare, which leverage cutting-edge, patented technology to deliver unparalleled accuracy and functionality.
