The Case for Moving from Relativity Server to RelativityOne
In today’s fast-moving eDiscovery landscape, firms that cling to legacy, on-premise platforms risk falling behind. Relativity has made its direction clear—RelativityOne is the future. While Relativity Server remains operational, the reality is that the company is no longer investing its development dollars into the platform. That means no cutting-edge innovations, no new features, and a future where maintaining an on-premise environment becomes increasingly challenging.
For organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve, now is the time to transition to RelativityOne. Here’s why:
1. Relativity’s Development Dollars Are Focused on the Cloud
Relativity has shifted its focus away from on-premise solutions. The newest features, performance improvements, and AI-driven enhancements are exclusively being built for RelativityOne. This means that organizations still using Relativity Server are missing out on powerful tools that drive efficiency and reduce review time.
A prime example of this is aiR, Relativity’s AI-powered search and analytics tool. aiR enables more intelligent document review, providing conceptual insights, AI-powered prioritization, and dynamic workflows that simply do not exist in Relativity Server. These enhancements are being refined and improved consistently in RelativityOne, ensuring that users are always working with the latest technology.
2. Security in the Cloud is Superior
On-premise environments require extensive internal security measures, regular patching, and constant monitoring to mitigate threats. RelativityOne offers built-in, enterprise-grade security, including:
- Proactive threat detection
- Automated security updates
- SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP compliance
- Global redundancy and disaster recovery
By moving to RelativityOne, firms can significantly reduce their security risk while ensuring compliance with evolving data protection regulations. The days of worrying about server failures, cyberattacks, or data loss due to outdated infrastructure are over.
3. Greater Speed, More Efficiency
The cloud offers greater performance and scalability compared to on-premise setups. RelativityOne allows case teams to:
- Scale storage and computing power on demand
- Perform document review faster with AI-enhanced tools
- Automate administrative tasks to save valuable time
- Access projects from anywhere, eliminating location-based constraints
These improvements translate to faster insights, quicker decisions, and lower overall costs. With built-in integrations, optimized processing, and performance enhancements, RelativityOne ensures that case teams work smarter, not harder.
4. Building a Memory Bank for Greater Efficiency
As organizations transition to RelativityOne, another key advantage is the ability to build and maintain a memory bank—a centralized repository of prior cases, insights, and automated workflows. This knowledge base can be leveraged within RelativityOne to streamline future discovery processes, providing teams with a powerful resource to increase efficiency and reduce the risk of errors. The ability to reuse prior insights and tactics not only speeds up case resolution but also ensures a level of continuity across cases, which is vital as legal teams navigate complex, fast-moving antitrust matters.
5. Lineal’s Commitment to Innovation in RelativityOne
At Lineal, we have fully embraced the move to RelativityOne by investing in our Amplify™ suite of tools, ensuring that our clients can leverage cutting-edge enhancements within the cloud environment.
With applications like ChatCraft, Images, Snippets, BotDetector, PrivFinder, and Workflow, we are extending the power of RelativityOne by improving collaborative data review, image classification, early case assessment, privilege detection, and workflow management. Our continued investment in Amplify ensures that clients benefit from custom tools built specifically for RelativityOne, making the transition not just a necessity but a major advantage.
Final Thoughts: The Future is Now
Organizations that continue to rely on Relativity Server are operating in a static and aging environment. Without continued innovation, firms will find themselves at a disadvantage, spending more time and resources maintaining outdated infrastructure while their competitors leverage AI-powered, cloud-native tools.
By making the move to RelativityOne, case teams benefit from faster performance, superior security, the latest technology, and ongoing innovations—all while reducing the burden of managing complex IT infrastructure.
The choice is clear: future-proof your eDiscovery workflows by transitioning to RelativityOne today.
