Recently we hosted a webinar with Relativity highlighting the very compelling integration of our X1 Distributed Discovery platform with the RelativityOne Collect solution. This X1/Relativity integration enables game-changing efficiencies in the eDiscovery process by accelerating speed to review, and providing an end-to-end process from identification through production. As stated by Relativity Chief Product Officer Chris Brown: “Our exciting new partnership with X1 highlights our continued commitment to providing a streamlined user experience from collection to production…RelativityOne users will be able to combine X1’s innovative endpoint technology with the performance of our SaaS platform, eliminating the cumbersome process of manual data hand-offs and allowing them to get to the pertinent data in their case – faster.”
The webinar featured a live demonstration showing X1 quickly collecting data across multiple custodians and seamlessly importing that data into RelativityOne in less than two minutes. Relativity Collect currently supports Office 365 and Slack sources, and this X1 integration will now enable Relativity Collect to also reach emails and files on laptops and file servers. Relativity Senior Product Manager Barry O’Melia commented that the integration with X1 will “greatly streamline eDiscovery process by collapsing the many hand-offs built into current EDRM workflows to provide greater speed and defensibility.”
ComplianceDS President Marc Zamsky, a customer of both X1 and Relativity, recently commented that the “ability to collect directly from custodian laptops and desktops into a RelativityOne workspace without impacting custodians is a game-changer,” which will “reduce collection times from weeks to hours so that attorneys can quickly begin reviewing and analyzing ESI in RelativityOne.”
The live demonstration performed by O’Melia highlighted in real time how the integration improves the enterprise eDiscovery collection and ECA process by enabling a targeted and efficient search and collection process, with immediate pre-collection visibility into custodial data. X1 Distributed Discovery enhances the eDiscovery workflow with integrated culling and deduplication, thereby eliminating the need for expensive and cumbersome electronically stored information (ESI) processing tools. That way, the ESI can be populated straight into Relativity from an X1 collection.
The X1 and Relativity integration addresses several pain points in the existing eDiscovery process. For one, there is currently an inability to quickly search across and access distributed unstructured data in-place, meaning eDiscovery teams have to spend weeks or even months to collect data as required by other cumbersome solutions. Additionally, using ESI processing methods that involve appliances that are not integrated with the collection will significantly increase cost and time delays.
So in terms of the big picture, with this integration providing a complete platform for efficient data search, eDiscovery and review across the enterprise, organizations will save a lot of time, save a lot of money, and be able to make faster and better decisions. When you accelerate the speed to review and eliminate over-collection, you are going to have much better early insight into your data and increase efficiencies on many levels.

With the ability to search and collect emails and documents across up to thousands of endpoints and network sources with industry-leading speed, X1 Distributed Discovery revolutionizes enterprise eDiscovery. For example, X1 empowers legal and consulting teams to iterate their search parameters in real time before collection, providing a revolutionary true pre-collection early case assessment capability. Additionally, with its intelligent collection capability, X1 performs instantaneous data processing (culling, de-duplication, text and metadata extraction, etc) in a fully automated manner.
And with the integration with Relativity, the X1 platform is even more compelling. As Marc Zamsky exclaimed “My clients are going to love this!”
