A Mid-Year Reflection on CDS’ 20th Anniversary

Jul 15, 2024

As we reflect on the first half of this milestone year—20 years of Complete Discovery Source (CDS) shaping the eDiscovery industry—we’re reminded that it’s about more than just commemorating a number. It’s about honoring a journey marked by innovation, resilience, and shared success. Our anniversary festivities at the beginning of the year weren’t just celebrations; they embodied a collective reflection on the strides we’ve made together, the hurdles we’ve navigated, and the triumphs we’ve achieved.

Looking Back on a Week Celebrating Our 20th Anniversary

Each event of our anniversary week highlighted the core elements that define CDS: our steadfast team spirit, unwavering commitment to excellence, and pioneering innovation. These gatherings showcased why CDS stands as a beacon in the eDiscovery field and a bastion of workplace unity.

A Good Excuse For A Happy Hour

The room buzzed with energy as colleagues, now akin to family, gathered, radiating pride and a sense of belonging. The happy hour was a vivid affirmation of our culture, characterized by deep-rooted camaraderie, dedication, and mutual respect. The laughter, shared stories, and dancing reflected our collective journey—a celebration of our past achievements, present capabilities, and the bright future ahead. These moments underscored CDS’s position as an eDiscovery leader, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, a dedication to innovation, and, fundamentally, our people.

Memories of an Intimate Dinner

An intimate gathering with clients served not just as an occasion for recognition but as a moment to fortify the partnerships that have been crucial to our mutual success. This, coupled with the relaxed and convivial atmosphere of the Legal Week happy hour, where industry colleagues and friends came together, underscored CDS’s integral role within the broader legal tech community.

Recalling the Culminating Employee Party

The culmination of our anniversary week’s festivities was a gathering that felt like home—where CDS’s heart truly lies. Celebrating our team’s camaraderie, dedication, and the foundational respect upon which our culture is built, the evening was imbued with joy, shared memories, and unity. It perfectly mirrored the journey we’ve embarked upon as a team, celebrating how far we’ve come and where we’re headed together.

Preparing for the Future

As we reflect on each anniversary week event, we see more than celebrations; we see a reaffirmation of the values and spirit that make CDS a leader in the eDiscovery space and a cherished workplace. Our journey thus far prepares us to navigate the future of eDiscovery with confidence, leading the charge in innovation, service excellence, and industry leadership.
