Midwest Increases Production Power

Midwest Paralegal Services has added another weapon to its already bold production arsenal. The Konica Minolta Bizhub 920 is a high-speed, network integrated printer/scanner, and was brought on-line in late February.

The 616 pound Konica has a variety of features that will allow MWPS to further customize productions to our clients’ needs. While 92 ppm and 8 position stapling will increase turn-around time, polymerized toner will maintain the print quality.

FRED II

Midwest has recently purchased a NEW Forensic Processing computer that adds much more processing power to our arsenal of Forensic analysis. FRED II (as we are calling it) can hold over 7 TERA-Bytes of data, operates on Microsoft System 7 and Intel's latest i7 motherboard, and has 12 GB of RAM! This combined with the latest training Rick Stieghorst received from Access Data on FTK 3.0, puts Midwest on the cutting edge of Computer Forensic Technology.
