CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BDO USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services firms, today announced it is expanding its eight-year relationship with Relativity by adding RelativityOne, the company’s complete cloud e-discovery solution, to the firm’s services portfolio.
RelativityOne gives users the flexibility to meet diverse litigation and investigation challenges with a scalable, secure and easy-to-run SaaS product. RelativityOne features advanced analytics and visualizations, along with customizable workflows, that help users uncover the facts faster and act on what they find. Additionally, RelativityOne is built on Microsoft Azure, the leader in public cloud security with 50+ industry certifications—and both RelativityOne and Azure have achieved the ISO 27001 compliance designation, the global standard for managing information security risk.
“The shift from traditional, on-premise IT solutions to the cloud is fundamentally changing the way data is collected and stored,” said Stephanie Giammarco, Partner and National Leader of BDO’s Technology and Business Transformation Services practice. “Offered in conjunction with Relativity’s on-premise solution, the addition of RelativityOne enables BDO to tailor how we deliver services to more closely align with our clients’ evolving business models.”
Integrating with other essential cloud-based business applications, RelativityOne will streamline every aspect of the e-discovery process, translating into faster review times and better insights for clients. BDO will continue to provide robust, on-premise e-discovery capabilities or offer a hybrid solution to address the varying needs and business approaches of clients.
“By leveraging Relativity’s end-to-end cloud-based e-discovery solution, BDO will be able to expand our portfolio of services while reducing infrastructure management burden and minimizing risk,” said George Socha, Managing Director in BDO’s Forensic Technology Services practice and co-founder of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). “Our goal is to give clients more time in their days and money in their pockets, and we expect our growing relationship with Relativity will fuel—and expand—our ability to consistently meet that goal.”
The BDO team has deep experience with Relativity, holding more than 30 Relativity certifications; including 3 professionals who have obtained the coveted Relativity Master status—a designation currently held by only 63 people in the world. For the third consecutive year, BDO has received Relativity’s Best in Service designation in the US, further demonstrating BDO’s continued focus on delivering the highest standard of service, providing exceptional quality experience, and client satisfaction.
“Further, a global expansion of RelativityOne is already underway. The expansion will augment our existing on-premise solutions in the UK, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Shanghai and Brazil, and will be critical to continue serving our multinational clients. This cloud solution helps us meet cross-border litigation and investigative needs, as well as local data privacy concerns, while keeping infrastructure costs low,” said Jenna Aira-Ventrella, Managing Director and leader of BDO’s Global Forensic Technology Services practice.
“We’re excited to welcome BDO as a RelativityOne Partner,” said Andrew Sieja, CEO and founder of Relativity. “BDO is a valued Relativity partner with a long history of expertise with the platform. We look forward to continue supporting their team in tackling unique data challenges across the globe with our flexible and secure cloud solution.”
