Leveraging Robust SaaS Platform to Power Legal Sector: DISCO

Law firms may not be thought of the same way as many businesses, but the truth remains that a law firm is a business. With that being said, in order to be a successful business in this day and age, it is important to take advantage of the technological advancements that are constantly taking place. One of the major advancements in computing and technology over the past decade has been the proliferation of cloud, or SaaS, offerings. SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) is defined as a software distribution model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to customers over the internet.

DISCO is one such firm that provides a cloud-native, artificial intelligence-powered legal solution that simplifies ediscovery, legal document review, and case management for enterprises, law firms, legal services providers, and governments. Its scalable, integrated solution enables legal departments to easily collect, process, and review enterprise data that is relevant or potentially relevant to legal matters. As the leading provider of software as a service solutions developed by lawyers for lawyers, DISCO is reinventing legal technology to automate and simplify complex and error-prone tasks that distract from practicing law. DISCO has been embraced by more than 400 law firms, including 75 of the top Am Law 200, as their first choice for innovative technologies that enhance the practice of law to help secure justice and win cases.
