Relativity has purchased data management software company Verqu. Legal and compliance technology company Relativity expands software offerings with the integration of Verqu.

“It’s imperative that the legal and compliance industries stay ahead of and evolve with the changing nature of work in organizations globally,” says Relativity CEO Mike Gamson. “Enterprise communications will continue to shift rapidly and scale from traditional channels like email toward chat and collaboration platforms. That’s why Relativity is committed to investing in technology that connects directly to native cloud data sources for surveillance and e-discovery workflows, evolving the data paradigm from documents to include conversations.”

Verqu will continue to offer its current products, Phoenix, Hydra and Hive while being integrated into Relativity’s Software-as-a-Service model.
