TORONTO – May 15, 2019 – Heuristica Discovery Counsel LLP (Heuristica) is pleased to announce, effective immediately, that it is migrating to Relativity‘s cloud-based e-discovery platform, RelativityOne.
Heuristica is one of the first Canadian providers to achieve RelativityOne Partner status and its RelativityOne tenant and client data will be based exclusively in Canada on the secure Microsoft Azure cloud.

We’re confident that RelativityOne and its enhanced and continuously improving features will provide even greater value for our clients and prospective clients.
