AVTranz purchases the transcription business of Western Deposition & Transcription

April 30, 2010, Phoenix, AZ – AVTranz today announced that it has purchased the court transcription business of Denver-based Western Deposition and Transcription, LLC, the largest transcription service provider to the Colorado District Court system. Western Deposition will continue operating its freelance court reporting business in Colorado and Wyoming.

“This is a terrific acquisition for us,” said Steve Townsend, AVTranz’ CEO. “We view Colorado as a great opportunity and have focused on growing our business there during the last 12 months. The courts have installed digital recording throughout the state and the demand for transcription from recorded court proceedings is growing quickly. Adding the Western Deposition transcription business really accelerates our planned growth strategy for the state.” AVTranz provides digital court reporting and transcription services for courts and government agencies across the country.

The Colorado District Courts previously serviced by Western Deposition will now have access to AVTranz’ web-based digital audio/video management system, TheCourtRecordOnline. Erik Lige, AVTranz’ Vice President, Sales and Marketing, notes “Western Deposition has done a great job of providing quality transcription and great customer service to the courts that use digital recording. AVTranz is committed to continuing that level of service and more. TheCourtRecordOnline will mean that the courts will save time and money by having the option to move all recorded content quickly and easily without the need to burn CDs.”

The acquisition will mean that AVTranz will add customer service staff to support its Denver office. The Company will also add to its existing team of more than 85 transcribers and proofreaders over the next 60 days.
