CDS Convert launches in Relativity aiR Government

Complete Discovery Source has made CDS Convert available in Relativity aiR Government, giving public-sector teams a new way to prepare chat, mobile and collaboration data inside Relativity’s FedRAMP-authorized cloud. The move matters because government matters increasingly depend on modern message platforms, not just email.

Why it matters: - Government legal and investigative teams are handling more evidence from chat, collaboration and mobile platforms. - CDS Convert lets agencies, contractors and counsel prepare that data inside Relativity aiR Government without moving it outside the FedRAMP boundary. - The addition gives public-sector users a more direct workflow for review while preserving data security and control.

What happened: - Complete Discovery Source announced that CDS Convert is now available in Relativity aiR Government. - The capability is available for matters hosted in Relativity’s FedRAMP-authorized cloud platform. - CDS Convert is the first and only partner application for Relativity aiR Government in the Relativity App Hub.

The details: - CDS Convert is Complete Discovery Source’s proprietary tool for complex chat, mobile and collaboration data. - The platform converts data from more than 45 sources, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Bloomberg, WhatsApp and Cellebrite mobile extractions. - The converted output is Relativity Short Message Format, or RSMF, which is the standard format for reviewing chat and message data in Relativity aiR. - Since launching in 2019, CDS Convert has processed more than 1.7 billion messages for more than 280 organizations. - Complete Discovery Source says the solution has maintained a critical error rate of 0.01%.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a broader shift in public-sector discovery, where evidence is increasingly found in collaboration tools and on mobile devices instead of email. - Keeping conversion inside aiR Government may reduce friction for agencies that need speed, auditability and tighter control over sensitive material. - Matthew Milone, director of strategic development for public sector at Complete Discovery Source, said agencies face the same data challenges as commercial users but under tighter timelines and greater scrutiny.

What’s next: - CDS Convert is available now for matters hosted in Relativity aiR Government. - Government agencies, contractors and counsel can schedule a demo through CDS Legal or by emailing getstarted@cdslegal.com. - Complete Discovery Source also shared its social channels for ongoing updates: LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and X.

The bottom line: - CDS Convert gives public-sector users a specialized way to convert modern communications data inside a secure Relativity environment, at a time when that data is becoming central to government review.
