Jackson Walker has been named a finalist for the Relativity Innovation Award for Best Law Firm Solution.
The “Relativity Importer” is an application developed in-house by Jackson Walker’s development team and Litigation Support using kCura’s APIs. The purpose of the application is to automate the migration of several hundred active cases stored in another application to Relativity. The application migrated all database components including document metadata, images, extracted text, document production references, and redactions.
“The Relativity Importer had a major impact in our transition to Relativity by allowing our firm to migrate all our active cases in such a short period of time,” said Duane Lites, Director of Litigation Support. “The Ffrm benefits were significant, including minimal attorney disruption, firm cost savings, and manual hours saved. The flexibility of Relativity’s platform, combined with our internal team of developers, helped us accelerate the migration and get our cases up and running quickly.”
kCura, developers of the e-discovery software Relativity, will recognize finalists and announce winners during a special ceremony at Relativity Fest, held October 11-14 in Chicago. This year, the annual user conference brings nearly 1,500 users together for a three-day event featuring engaging panel discussions, hands-on labs, breakout sessions, and insights from kCura staff and Relativity end users.
The Relativity Innovation Awards celebrate and showcase the best custom solutions created by the Relativity community. Judges selected solutions that use various application integration points to display a full use of the Relativity APIs’ capabilities to streamline processes, solve complex workflow needs, and create an altogether new solution that positively impacts their business strategy.
“It’s awesome to see Jackson Walker turn to our platform when presented with a migration challenge—ultimately building an entirely new application to streamline the migration of hundreds of cases from their legacy platform into Relativity,” said Andrew Sieja, president and CEO of kCura. “This problem-solving mentality is what the Innovation Awards are all about.”
Recognized as a “Leader” in Gartner’s 2015 E-Discovery Magic Quadrant, kCura developed the e-discovery software Relativity, which has more than 120,000 active users in more than 40 countries, including the U.S. Department of Justice and more than 190 of the Am Law 200. kCura helps corporations, law firms, and government agencies meet e-discovery challenges by installing Relativity on-premises and providing hosted, on-demand solutions through a global network of partners. kCura has been ranked the 175th fastest-growing technology company in North America on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 and named one of Chicago’s Top Workplaces by the Chicago Tribune.
