Digital transformation in the public sector is driving new data management requirements. As agencies expand their use of electronic documents, virtual meetings, remote collaboration and more, their ediscovery capabilities must respond to the needs of this shifting environment.

On July 19, Government Technology will host a live webcast with Relativity, an expert in innovative ediscovery solutions, to explain how ediscovery software is evolving and what it means for your organization. You’ll hear how cloud-based ediscovery platforms can help your agency meet changing demands and improve public records compliance. This session will show how modern technology:

· Uses artificial intelligence and automation to speed up responses to FOIA and public records requests
· Securely scales to support unique needs during litigation
· Encourages cross-agency collaboration while maintaining data control
· Simplifies maintenance and support
