I’ll be the first to attest that there is a lot going on under the hood of RelativityOne. As a Relativity Master, I’ve memorized every tab and pull-down option and know exactly where to go to use the program to its full potential. I have all the bells and whistles turned on and because I live and breathe Relativity every day. That being said, I sympathize with new users who can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the program.

Data analytic solutions allow law firms and legal departments to make better overall business decisions. Whether they are used for contract analysis, to help better manage internal and external risks, enhance compliance processes, improve resource allocation or gain a strategic advantage in the competitive legal marketplace, the limits of using data are endless.

During last week's Canadian Legal Innovation Forum webinar on Using Data to Make Better Decisions, four panelists, including our own Jessica Lockett, shared how their organizations are actively utilizing these solutions to help save on time, costs and improve accuracy.

The necessary rapid response to a global pandemic has, at times, pushed organizations to their IT limits while the need for even greater connectivity and scale continues to rise. It's become clearer than ever that easy, secure and flexible cloud access is no longer a nice-to-have but a necessary component to enable remote workers and allow companies to thrive.

During this uncertain time, it can be difficult finding the support you need while working remotely. Fortunately, the Relativity community is providing excellent resources to help our team and clients feel connected in the interim. 

Danny Chan and Joe Evangelista, both Senior Case Managers at Ricoh, are leading our Relativity-accredited team of specialists to new grounds. In a new piece for their Community site, Relativity met with our two Masters to learn about their journeys, how it's impacted their relationship with clients and their advice for anyone in pursuit of a Relativity Certification.

Let me preface this by saying I am not a general technology expert. I went to law school, not MIT. I don’t know how to code, program, design an app or build a website. I contact my IT guy with near-religious regularity.

That said, as a Review Manager at Ricoh eDiscovery, I continually see the benefits of leveraging the latest legal technology to better serve clients. Our document reviews now almost exclusively utilize Relativity Active Learning, which harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics to streamline the review process.

We are excited to share that two members of our team have achieved Relativity Master status — the highest accreditation available through the eDiscovery market’s leader. This certification is no easy feat; it requires passing the Relativity Certified Administrator (RCA) program as well as four additional certifications. These certifications can take years to complete and fewer than 100 people across the globe have achieved Master status. 

We've just returned from Relativity Fest 2018, where our team hosted a session on Active Learning that was so well received, we decided to bring it to the masses!
