Hanzo, a pioneer of contextual collection of dynamic web content and a developer partner of Relativity, today announced Hanzo Dynamic Review™ for RelativityOne, a software application that is fully compatible with RelativityOne, the cloud version of Relativity’s ediscovery platform, in addition to Relativity versions 9.6 and 9.5.

In 2018, Hanzo and Relativity formed their strategic partnership which brought Hanzo into the Relativity App Hub ecosystem. Since then, Hanzo and Relativity’s development teams have built upon that foundation with a groundbreaking integration that is the first to bring dynamic native review capabilities to Relativity. (Or Click on image below to see video) Today’s announcement extends that capability fully to RelativityOne.

Hanzo Dynamic Review, part of the Hanzo Dynamic Archive suite, improves the review process by adding easy native-content import and dynamic native review capabilities, within Relativity’s on-premise and cloud review platforms. By achieving compatibility with RelativityOne, Hanzo provides ediscovery teams access to hard-to-capture modern data sources and extends a dynamic review solution to help ediscovery professionals uncover evidence that might otherwise be missed with static document review. These natural navigation capabilities moving from one document or section to the next at the click of a link are available in a secure, performant, and accessible environment that improve review efficiency and effectiveness.

“As business communications fragment across platforms and data volumes grow, Hanzo is helping solve the challenge of following, capturing, and preserving dynamic conversations,” said Kevin Gibson, CEO of Hanzo. “Our partnership with Relativity brings game-changing innovation to review by making it possible to view dynamic web content directly from RelativityOne, while uncovering evidence that is often hidden in static formats, which delivers a whole new level of efficiency and effectiveness.”

RelativityOne is the secure and performant way experts run ediscovery in the cloud. It’s backed by the functionality, customer support, and global user community that enables users to do it all with one solution. With easy to use search, analytics, and visualizations, RelativityOne’s trusted platform delivers intelligence about data, so users gain insights sooner and drive more effective outcomes. Integrations and products from partners like Hanzo are found in the Relativity App Hub, where users can pick and choose solutions to solve data challenges in ediscovery or beyond.

“We’re thrilled that Hanzo has now integrated their Dynamic Review tools with RelativityOne,” said Drew Deitch, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Relativity.  “Hanzo’s robust review for data sources such as SharePoint, Jira, Facebook, and other dynamic web content, combined with the flexibility of our SaaS product, will ensure that users are able to comprehend and take action on their data sources – faster.”

Hanzo supports the current RelativityOne release as well as Relativity versions 9.5 and 9.6 and will continue to provide customers with the best possible service and support with all future releases.
