Case Study: CourthouseDirect achieves next-day turnaround for large courthouse records with Aspera

Moving legal documents faster to improve accuracy of public records

CourthouseDirect.com, a provider of nationwide courthouse and property records, needed to accelerate and secure the movement of large, heterogeneous legal document sets between its Houston headquarters, distant third‑party processing vendors, courthouses and customers. Relying on physically shipping hard drives (2–300 GB) caused long delays—often 1–4 weeks—and high‑latency WAN links made conventional transfers unreliable.

CourthouseDirect deployed Aspera Shares and Connect Server (using FASP high‑speed transfer technology) to provide a centralized, secure repository and browser plug‑in for fast uploads/downloads and automated routing. This allowed the company to send data as it arrives instead of waiting to fill drives, cutting vendor turnaround from weeks or months to under a day while improving timeliness, accuracy and customer service.
