Case Study: Sunstein cuts annual spend in half and modernizes e-discovery with RelativityOne (Relativity)

Sunstein Cuts Their Annual Spend in Half with RelativityOne

Sunstein, a Boston-based intellectual property firm, faced growing burdens from maintaining on-premises Relativity Server — lengthy upgrade downtimes, infrastructure overhead, and over‑licensing that distracted staff from using advanced features. To solve this, they partnered with Relativity and moved to the cloud-based RelativityOne to reduce maintenance and improve access, governance, and analytics adoption.

Relativity helped Sunstein archive 80% of their case data using ARM and shift to a utilization-based RelativityOne model, enabling pay-for-use licensing and real-time monitoring with the activity dashboard. As a result, Sunstein migrated eight cases to RelativityOne, eliminated disruptive upgrades, increased AI and analytics adoption, and cut annual spend by over 50% while improving remote access, operational efficiency, and feature rollout.
