What should legal teams do before the RelativityOne deadline? Kenneth Spencer of ProSearch discusses that here!
In his blog post titled (wait for it!) Five Questions Legal Teams Should Be Asking Before the RelativityOne Deadline (available here), Kenneth reminds us that Relativity has announced that organizations will no longer be able to create new matters or workspaces in Relativity Server as of December 31st, 2027. For legal teams, that makes 2026 the year to move from awareness to active planning and execution. And the year is two-thirds over.
So, what should organizations be doing now? Kenneth discusses five things to consider – here’s one of them:
Revisit data collection practices
Organizations do not need every answer today, but they do need to begin the planning process. In parallel with transition planning, they should review whether current data collection practices still support their legal, operational, governance, and technology requirements.
Many collection workflows have evolved over years of operation and may not have been reassessed recently. The Relativity Server transition creates an opportunity to evaluate whether those workflows still fit the organization’s efficiency, scalability, governance, technology, and future operating goals. It also gives teams time to consider instituting new technology such as Purview Sync and Collect in RelativityOne. Because changes to collection practices and onboarding new technology can take time, this assessment should happen alongside transition planning, even though the collection process itself is outside the scope of this series.
So, what are other things organizations should be doing now? Find out here, it’s only one click! The RelativityOne deadline is approaching! 😉
Kenneth’s article opens a five-part series on the planning decisions legal teams should make before the Relativity Server transition deadline. More to come!
