Streamlining eDiscovery in the Cloud with Microsoft and RelativityOne
Relativity Purview Sync: Accelerating Review Readiness
As organizations continue to adopt cloud solutions like Microsoft 365 (M365), eDiscovery approaches must evolve. Leveraging Microsoft Purview and RelativityOne, KPMG provides a methodology that streamlines the collection, transfer, and review of M365 data. Our approach combines the extensive search capabilities of Microsoft Purview with the detailed review functionality of RelativityOne, creating a smooth and automated workflow.
Microsoft Purview allows for targeted searches across the entire Microsoft 365 environment, enabling you (or us) to pinpoint relevant data based on content, metadata, or specific locations. This structured process helps ensure that we can efficiently identify and export the most critical information for each case. Microsoft Purview enables comprehensive search capabilities across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including:
- OneDrive files
- Outlook emails and attachments
- Teams messages
- Copilot interactions
- SharePoint content
The true power of our methodology lies in the integration between Microsoft Purview and RelativityOne, facilitated by Relativity Purview Sync. This workflow facilitates the transfer of collected data directly into RelativityOne for review. This automated process offers several key advantages:
By eliminating manual handoffs, data transfers, and administrative overhead, we can reduce the time from data collection to review readiness from weeks to under 48 hours.
Automated processing and keyword culling allow legal teams to begin their review sooner, with significantly less human intervention.
Teams and Copilot data are automatically converted into the Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF), ensuring immediate compatibility and a more natural review experience.
Newly collected data is continuously and automatically transferred, providing near-real-time access for review teams.
The Future of eDiscovery is Here
By embracing automation and integration, the KPMG Forensic Technology team is helping organizations navigate the complexities of modern data collection with greater speed, efficiency, and confidence. We have found this integrated approach useful for DSAR responses and large-custodian collections, allowing reviews to begin sooner with significantly less human intervention.
