eDJ Briefing: Relativity at LegalWeek 2025
Phil Saunders Phil Saunders kicked off the briefing by tackling his January announcement that many have interpreted as Relativity Server EoL in 2028. I had certainly heard from many competitors eager to take advantage of Relativity Server customers not ready to embrace the cloud for a variety of reasons. I get the 'new' Relativity leadership vision that cutting edge AI driven eDiscovery [...]
Microsoft Roadmap – March 2025
With 1784 updates to the Microsoft Roadmap, March seems to have had an ‘update your release dates’ mandate to the PM teams. We did have 253 actual new additions that seem to be focused on the new eDiscovery Portal, expanding CoPilot integrations, new IRM controls and more. There are a LOT of date and content updates to Purview eDiscovery items, so it is worth revisiting [...]
eDJ Brief: StreemView – LegalWeek 2025
CEO Mike Schubert barely mentioned their new StreemView AI search in our briefing. Instead, he hammered on how StreemView's architecture and UI is uniquely designed for the mobile and collaborative data sources at the heart of modern investigations. Having spent the last quarter struggling with mobile and chat content in complex international investigations, his arguments resonated with me. Most lawyers think of evidence as documents. [...]
eDJ Brief: Infinnium LegalWeek 2025
CEO Elie Francis CRO Doug Kaminski While you may not be familiar with Infinnium, I am betting that it will appear on corporate legal's radar this year. Their 4iG platform was launched in 2018 and previously seemed focused on enterprise governance through in-place processing and analytics. Familiar eDiscovery rock stars Elie Francis (Driven/One Discovery) and Doug Kaminski (Relativity/Consilio) joining the [...]
LegalWeek 2025 – The eDJ Hot Takes
LegalWeek 2025 was a wild ride that started and ended early for me this year. My thanks to everyone who managed to find my impromptu Sunday happy hour gathering. My Mon-Wed schedule was filled, so it spilled over to Sunday and we made the most of the time. Our industry is experiencing an unprecedented rate of change, a Shakubuku moment (alternative definition). Some players seem [...]
LegalWeek 2025 Sponsor-Exhibitor Metrics
Legal technology seems to be riding the AI wave with exhibitors old and new investing in booths. My annual sponsor/exhibitor charts and the published Legal Week metrics reflect this uplift in technology and service providers eager to show off their AI-enhanced offerings. Not too long ago I was predicting a slow decline in conference attendance and exhibitors based on the steady consolidation and acquisition of [...]
LegalWeek 2025 Social Perspective
After around 30 years of LTNY (LegalWeek now), pre-conference activities and social events can tell you a lot about the industry and where companies are allocating their event budgets. Thanks to Stephanie Clerkin and Maria Victoria Yuste for building the social event list this year (I thought that Stephanie Wilkins also did this, but LI search is terrible). Almost all the networking events are packed [...]
New Purview eDiscovery Hub is Live!
The new Purview eDiscovery Hub UX has exited the 'preview' stage and is theoretically ready for actual use. The classic eDiscovery UX will be EoL in August 2025, so you have 5 months to adapt your workflows and test the new UX. Since November I and clients have been testing the new hub (when time allows). That testing has given me a much deeper understanding [...]
Exterro Takes Remote Mobile Collections Off the Leash
In March-April Exterro customers will be able to collect common mobile device content over wireless corporate networks without phone apps or agents. This new offering leverages the Exterro platform, FTK Suite(acquired 2020) and an agent installed on legal team workstation. The custodian grants one-time trust permission for collection access and the incremental collections are made without disrupting users while they are connected to the [...]
Microsoft Roadmap – January 2025 – Preview Means Wait For IT
264 in development – 71 Rolling out – 88 Launched New features were dominated by Copilot integrations and development support last month. Some minor Purview release date updates and adding Loop Workspaces to Teams channels are the only real eDiscovery related roadmap updates. I would like to call attention to the "(Preview)" label in the new Purview eDiscovery Hub UX. Users are already been automatically [...]
