Relatively few new features introduced in the month following Ignite, but the theme is Copilot summarization/recap of meetings, documents and more. It will become all too easy for meeting organizers or document collaborators to forward Copilot recaps or conversions without reviewing them for accuracy. eDJ has seen these recaps actually reverse counsel statements (i.e. DO this instead of DO NOT do this) in pilot [...]
You logged into Purview eDiscovery and found yourself in a whole new user experience (UX). You have a priority hold or collection and need counsel’s buy in on the new search, hold, review and export options. Buried at the end of my Geek Guide page detailing the new portal UX changes is the list below of key decisions that impact even simple investigations. Send [...]
The new Purview Portal UX adds a lot of new functionality and architectural changes. The classic versions are scheduled for decommissioning in January, so Purview users need to get up to speed quick and adapt your workflows. I created a page that calls out the changes, potential impact and recommendations for experienced users. Although I have met with some of the new Microsoft PM [...]
132 new items were added to the Roadmap this month. Beyond the new Teams chat UI changes, my key new update is PERSONAL USER LOOP WORKSPACES! Every user will now have another default data source that may require preservation and collection. If you have not tested search, export, processing and review of Loop components in your eDiscovery infrastructure, the time is now. View my [...]
After the Relativity Fest keynote and my interview with Verizon’s Kacey Hall, I decided that I had to make the time to get my hands on Relativity aiR for Review. The labs generally had a line, but they were open during meals. Relativity is one of the few eDiscovery technology companies that gives open access to full documentation and the aiR for Review [...]
Walgreens’s Sr. Counsel and Director of eDiscovery Operations Adam Rouse discussed using Relativity’s integration with Microsoft 365 for collections and legal holds at Relativity Fest. Walgreens’ eDiscovery team evolved from Adam’s prior role supporting compliance and IT security teams. His deep technical background translates to a very tech forward team comfortable with Powershell and other admin tools. While the Walgreens’s team may have more [...]
Kacey Hall shared Verizon’s impressive experience in the advanced access program for Relativity aiR for Review and limited general availability program Relativity aiR for Privilege. Unlike most corporations, Verizon’s legal department manages all discovery in house, largely relying on their RelativityOne instance. They have automated most upstream workflows including integrated Google Workspace holds and collections. aiR for Review has effectively extended that automation and [...]
2024 was my year to attend the great sessions. That was the idea when I got a late start booking briefings and interviews. A last-minute wave of requests derailed most of my session plans, but I wanted to share my summaries and highlights from the few I attended. Did I miss some good ones? Yes, I did. So write up your own highlights to [...]
Does your company offer eDiscovery managed services for corporate clients who own their own RelativityOne instance? I am conducting an Request for Information (RFI) to qualify candidates for a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for a global corporation. The RFI covers provider general profile, service coverage and technology offerings. This phase is a simple form that does NOT include pricing or solution proposal details. [...]
