Cyferd is delighted to announce its recent acquisition of Tetrakursio, a Spain-based company that specializes in a recursive engine to streamline the language between microservices to scale. As the company’s first-ever acquisition, coming only a year after its launch, Cyferd is excited to be bringing on a technology that enables easier user-defined workflows and automation.

So, what does this mean for Cyferd? The company hopes to use Tetrakursio’s ‘T-ReX’ engine in the quest for effective agile digital transformation through accelerating the development of microservice architecture. Tetrakursio’s mission aims to make developers’ lives easier by using recursion (the process of one value relying on its predecessor to perform operations) to enable automated workflows.

Nacho Bibián, Director at Tetrakursio, is excited to be able to use the recursive engine to help achieve breakthroughs in digital transformation.

“Microservices are the fundamental building blocks of any platform,” Bibián notes. “In order to break a huge program down into multiple microservices, you have to address all the potential questions that can surface: how do these services interact with each other? How do they interact with the wider program network?”

Previously, organizations had to deal with a program that was difficult to maintain and ‘break down’ into microservices, argues Bibián. With Tetrakursio, organizations can transform from a long and difficult journey to one that’s almost instantaneous.

Meanwhile, the Cyferd Platform takes a unique approach to data-focused digital transformation by tackling the problem of data fragmentation and data silos at the source. The platform enables users to create scalable, secure business applications in the cloud without the requirement for coding, accelerating digital business transformation. With Cyferd, users can reap the benefits of cloud minus the complexity and reduce the barriers to business innovation.

“The timeline for this acquisition is astonishing,” Ranjit Bahia, founder, and CEO of Cyferd, notes. “In just under one year, we’ve gone from launching ourselves as a company to building out and taking on additional teams. We’re excited to see how Tetrakursio helps emphasize Cyferd’s ‘low work’ mission.”

Cyferd has already drawn up plans for the incorporation of the ‘T-ReX’ engine into the Cyferd Platform, where customers of the platform will be able to create business applications in a fraction of the time it would previously take.

Consilio Strengthens Its Sightline Legal Discovery Platform with Launch of Legal Hold and Continuous Active Learning Capabilities 

As legal holds and data management complexities rise, Sightline offers end-to-end modern discovery, investigations, and legal hold solutions to streamline the entire Legal Discovery process.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 14, 2023 – Consilio, the global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, today announced significant innovations to their Sightline platform with the launch of Legal Hold and Continuous Active Learning capabilities. With Sightline, clients can effectively manage the entire discovery process – from legal hold to review – within a market-leading, modern enterprise platform supported by the global leader.

The addition of Sightline Legal Hold allows organizations to increase efficiency while reducing the cost, risk, and complexity of managing legal hold workflows and preparing data for downstream discovery activities. With Sightline Legal Hold, customers can:

  • Manage legal holds through a customizable workflow with preservation-in-place enabled by its Microsoft Purview integration
  • Add, administer, and import employee data from popular HRIS systems, ensuring holds are in-sync with an organization’s current employee lists while allowing for custom data requirements
  • Manage preservations and communications of holds together or independently in one unified interface – allowing users to flex to meet their organization’s needs
  • Drive effective communications through surveys, escalations, reminders, releases, and ancillary notices to non-custodians
  • Ensure compliance and transparency of legal hold processes with detailed logging and reporting that include workflow summaries and robust communication logs

“As a leader in designing best practice legal workflows, our experts have seen legal holds become more complex with the rise in remote work and disparate data sources,” said Meredith Kildow, Chief Revenue Officer. “Sightline Legal Hold helps clients effectively address these challenges with a robust and customizable legal hold platform designed to not only ensure compliance with corporate legal requirements but also help control downstream discovery cost and complexity.”

Continuing Sightline’s response to the increasing volume of data and the need for improved eDiscovery efficiency and accuracy, Consilio also announced integrating its mature Envize predicted analytics engine to power Sightline’s Continuous Active Learning enhancements in the platform. The capability builds upon Sightline’s highly rated, always-on analytics libraries that include email threading, textual near-duplicate detection, language analysis, and conceptual analytics.

“We’re continually innovating on smarter document review processes to stay ahead of the data volume curve. For Sightline, we are shifting from a traditional data analytics-based review paradigm to one that makes AI-powered Continuous Active Learning accessible to users of all levels, automatically,” said Raj Chandrasekar, Chief Operating Officer at Consilio. “By taking this approach, non-technical and power users alike can greatly benefit from CAL’s capability to make document review more efficient.”

Sightline with Continuous Active Learning and Sightline Legal Hold will both be featured at the Legalweek conference on March 21-23 in New York as well as on the upcoming webinar, “Driving Effective Legal Hold Workflows with Sightline,” being held on March 28th at 12:00 pm EDT.  To register to attend, visit https://www.consilio.com/event/webinar-driving-effective-legal-hold-workflows-with-sightline/.
