kCuraA self-titled “geek turned businessman,” kCura’s founder and CEO, Andrew

Sieja, has always recognized the importance of great software. Beginning

as a small software consulting firm in 2001, kCura has since grown to

be a market-leading e-discovery software company with more than 600

inquisitive team members globally who are passionate about technology,

and are continuously finding new ways to make our software more flexible,

more scalable, and easier to use.

RelativityWe decided to focus on e-discovery software after a fortunate consulting engagement with a law firm, in which

Andrew saw the need for an easy-to-use document review application. We found a place in the industry with

Relativity, which helps corporations, law firms, and government agencies solve diverse data challenges. Since joining

the industry as a review platform, we’ve grown our product into a comprehensive e-discovery stack, which helps

users easily search, analyze, and act on electronic evidence. The Relativity community—supported by the services

and expertise of our 120+ channel partners—plays a fundamental role in contributing to the success of our platform

through continuous feedback and enthusiastic involvement.

OUR STORYWhat is e-Discovery?

Electronic discovery—or

e-discovery—is the challenging

process of searching and analyzing

electronic data during a legal

proceeding or investigation. As data

volumes grow exponentially and

new data sources are introduced

every day, legal teams have more to

sort through and need an efficient

way to collect, search, analyze,

and produce electronic evidence.

Our MissionOrganize data. Discover the truth. Act on it.

Our VisionSimplify and accelerate how the world conducts e-discovery by

bringing the entire process and community together in one open,

flexible, connected platform.

users worldwide and now offers tools from legal hold

and collection through production.

We switch our focus to e-discovery,

A court-ordered deadline to produce data for a

proceeding is fast-approaching, and a legal team

still has to review 1TB of documents and emails

to find the documents relevant to the case at

hand.

A whistleblower informs HR and their compliance

team about rumors of fraud conducted by a

group of employees—but is there even enough

data to warrant a full investigation?

A plaintiff firm preparing for a class-action lawsuit

needs to calculate hundreds of award scenarios

and then communicate them to stakeholders

across the country.

Using analytics and visualizations, the team quickly understands,

organizes, and prioritizes their data. Relativity’s machine learning

capabilities amplify the team’s decisions on what’s relevant and

what’s not—so they’re able to get through the data and produce the

required files in record time.

The legal department uses Relativity to collect data—such as email,

Word documents, and chat messages—and a compliance analyst

assesses it to find and understand the key facts of the allegation.

After spinning up visualizations to examine the collection, the team is

able to assess the risk and costs of pursuing legal action and prepare

a strategy for an internal review and forensics investigation.

To avoid exporting data from Relativity into a different system,

the legal team works with internal developers to build a custom

application for tracking settlements. By keeping the data in the

platform, they can link new settlement scenarios to existing case

documents and exhibits. They then design a workflow that regularly

generates and sends reports to external stakeholders.

What is Relativity?

It’s a software platform

designed to help legal teams

search, analyze, and act on

their most important data to

meet a variety of needs—from

litigation to investigations

to case strategy and

management. With volumes

of data growing exponentially

and new data sources

introduced every day, Relativity

is an efficient way to manage

data for legal purposes.

Used by more than 13,000 unique organizations, Relativity reduces risks and helps control costs associated with managing

and analyzing electronic data. Below are just a few examples of what Relativity is used for every day.

How Do We Give Back?

Our community outreach

program works to ensure that

youth in our community—

especially those with limited

resources—have access to

the technology, equipment,

and training they need to

be successful in today’s

work environment.

“Our schools have done tremendous things with the

Wired to Learn grant, which has improved access to

the cutting-edge technology that is vital to a well-

rounded 21st century education.”

– Dr. Janice K. Jackson, CPS Chief Education Officer

KCURA GIVES

Since kCura Gives started in 2010, we’ve provided more than $1.5 million through our technology grant program and

other giving initiatives.

Geek Grant

“Because of the Geek Grant, we are able to offer access

to computers and the Internet so our clients can do their

homework, research jobs, prep for GEDs, and explore

college options. The Geek Grant is helping us bridge the

digital divide our clients face.”

– S. Bianca Berkhia, La Casa Norte

Community Partnerships

“kCura was the first organization to believe in us.

They provided our first real source of funding, which

not only helped us get up and running, but allowed

our students to experience field trips that they still

talk about to this day.”

– January Miller, Embarc

Volunteer Program

“kCura Gives makes it really easy for me to volunteer

and give back to the community. Students thoroughly

enjoy the challenges of the basic computer

programming we teach them, and almost always

express interest in advancing their learning.”

- Krishna Aerabati, kCura
