“The market is slowly but surely embracing cloud technology and the benefits it can bring,” said Iconic CEO, Dr. John Tinsley. “We’ve always believed that Relativity’s document review capabilities can help us to reach a much broader user base. Our integration with RelativityOne helps us reach those users even faster.”

RelativityOne is a secure and easy-to-run cloud e-discovery platform that can be scaled or extended to meet the needs of any litigation or investigation. Integrations and products from partners like Iconic are found in the Relativity App Hub where users can pick and choose solutions to solved data challenges in e-discovery or beyond.

Iconic supports the current RelativityOne release and will continue to provide customers with the best possible service and support with all future releases.

Their machine translation solution built on the Relativity platform is an innovative choice for firms to get more from their investment in Relativity,” said Drew Deitch, director of strategic partnerships at Relativity.  “By becoming fully compatible with RelativityOne, Iconic will accelerate the pace at which they can help corporate and transactional teams be more productive and effective when dealing with multilingual information.”
