Relativity made it clear earlier this year that their future is in the cloud. This post from Andrew Watts discusses paving the way for that journey.

In his post titled (wait for it!) Reach New Heights: Paving the Way for Your Journey to the Cloud, available here, Andrew reminds us of that announcement from Relativity CEO Phil Saunders:

By 2028, all new matters and workspaces will be hosted in RelativityOne with some limited customer and geographic exceptions.

As Andrew notes: “Our goal with this policy is to ensure that each of our customers can take full advantage of the innovation that only a cloud-native architecture can provide. These are all the things that make RelativityOne the go-to platform for Legal Data Intelligence projects of all types and sizes: superior scalability and performance, unmatched security to protect sensitive data, generative AI, streamlined collections and data imports, and more.”

He adds this: “While this policy does not mean that Relativity Server will reach “end-of-life” status on January 1, 2028, it does mean that all new matters must live in RelativityOne from that point forward. Limited exceptions will be made only in circumstances where regulatory or similar requirements demand it. Please do not rely on any conflicting information you may hear on this subject. Instead, contact us directly if you believe you have a project that may require an exception, so we can provide accurate clarification.”

So, what do you need to know (including its AI features) to make the move to the cloud and switch to RelativityOne? Find out here, it’s only one click! The click paves the first step for you! 😉

So, what do you think? Are you not in the cloud yet? If not, why not? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
