CDS is pleased to announce that our eDiscovery solutions have been nominated in five separate categories of the 2025 Relativity Innovation Awards. The Relativity Innovation Awards celebrate the innovative applications, workflows, and customizations Relativity users develop to manage new and diverse data types, disciplines, and matters. 

In this series, we will review each solution, highlighting the features of the software and the problems it solves for numerous law firms and corporations grappling with complex data migrations. First up: Vision AutoArchive.

The Challenge: Optimizing Data Footprint 

Large law firms and corporations typically maintain hundreds of review workspaces accumulated over many years, with varying levels of active use and business relevance. As organizations transition to RelativityOne’s cloud environment, they face the strategic challenge of optimizing their data footprint.  

With Relativity’s 2028 server deprecation timeline adding urgency to cloud migration planning, organizations need to make informed decisions about which workspaces to transition to the cloud versus archive for future retrieval. Manual assessment of extensive workspace portfolios requires significant time and investment in professional services, and migrating all legacy data can result in substantial data hosting expenses. 

The Solution: Vision AutoArchive   

Vision AutoArchive was nominated in the Organize category, which “celebrates an exceptional innovation that develops a solution or workflow that significantly enhances the use of Relativity’s storage, structure, collection, processing, or overall organization of data within a workspace, or across multiple workspaces. The solution improves the accessibility, management, and efficiency of critical data.” 

AutoArchive is a CDS proprietary data management solution developed for RelativityOne. It is designed to facilitate migration from Relativity Server to RelativityOne and actively manage and reduce the costs associated with hosting e-discovery matters in RelativityOne. AutoArchive’s key features include: 

• Automated database activity monitoring to identify active and inactive matters for migration planning.  Data base activity metrics can be scheduled for email delivery to workspace administrators or run on demand.  

• Automated archiving of inactive matters to cold storage or ARM for later retrieval. Once inactive matters have been identified, ARM profiles can be created to automate the ARM archive and migration process.  

• Automated management of migrated workspaces in RelativityOne to control hosting costs. AutoArchive can be used to actively manage all migrated workspaces and any new matters from the very beginning, ensuring ongoing cost control and intelligent data management practices. 

• Customizable reporting on workspace activity and data management to inform decision-making before migration begins. Users can leverage AutoArchive activity reporting to determine which workspaces are suitable for migration to RelativityOne versus which should be archived using ARM for later retrieval, enabling informed cost-benefit decisions. 

Vision AutoArchive has a proven track record of streamlining client migrations and significantly reducing hosting costs in RelativityOne. CDS clients leveraging AutoArchive frequently achieve 50% faster migration timelines and consistently attain 25-35% reductions in hosting footprints, while building better data governance practices.  

AutoArchive offers a scalable solution for an industry-wide transition to the cloud, affecting thousands of organizations, while also fostering improved data governance practices for customers who have already migrated to RelativityOne. CDS Vision AutoArchive is well-positioned to meet industry needs for automated cloud data governance. To learn more about how Vision AutoArchive can streamline your migrations, contact us at .
