Case Study: Opus 2 International achieves 66% cost reduction and rapid scaling with Ubuntu OpenStack

Opus 2 develops the “legal cloud of the future” on Ubuntu OpenStack

Opus 2 International is a London-based software and services provider that modernises evidence management for high‑stakes legal cases; its founder pioneered electronic transcription and the company set out to solve the legal sector’s costly, paper‑heavy workflows and resistance to digital adoption. Law firms and courts faced escalating printing, storage and administrative costs, slow legacy systems, and a need for secure, scalable tools that would convince litigators to move away from physical files.

Opus 2 built Magnum — a secure, cloud‑based evidence platform running entirely on Ubuntu OpenStack — to deliver fast, flexible deployment, scalable infrastructure and platform‑agnostic courtroom access. Magnum users report a 66% reduction in relevant costs and a 32% time saving, the platform scaled twice as fast across verticals than alternatives, saved millions of sheets of paper in high‑profile trials, and is now used by leading global law firms and courts.
