Consilio Launches Aurora, a Revolutionary Digital Enterprise Platform for Legal Data Management
Transformative solution eliminates forced platform choices while enabling unified control and enhanced data visibility across eDiscovery matters WASHINGTON, March 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Consilio, the global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, today announced the launch of Aurora, a groundbreaking Digital Enterprise Platform that transforms how legal teams manage legal data and eliminates the traditional compromise between standardizing on a single platform and fragmenting across multiple review solutions, providing unprecedented freedom of choice while maintaining unified control. In today's legal technology landscape, organizations face escalating data volumes and complexity while resources remain constrained. In fact, according to a recent Consilio survey, 48% of legal teams ranked overwhelming work volume as the biggest challenge they are facing. Aurora addresses these challenges by providing a comprehensive solution that sits upstream of review platforms, enabling legal teams to leverage the best review and legal productivity tools for each matter while maintaining portfolio-wide visibility and control. Successful AI adoption also remains a challenge, with 85% of law firms in some stage of AI exploration in areas like document review but only 5% reaching full deployment. "For too long, legal teams have faced an impossible choice between standardization requirements that limit flexibility or fragmentation and reduced efficiency," said Meredith Kildow, President of Consilio. "This false dilemma for legal departments is eliminated by Aurora. Our new Digital Enterprise Platform gives clients complete visibility into their portfolio of projects, unifies all their legal services work in one place, and provides a powerful data repository they can explore with sophisticated early case intelligence and AI capabilities. This represents a fundamental shift in how legal teams interact with their data and technology stack unlocking value for the organization as a whole." Aurora's innovative architecture fills the critical gap between enterprise data creation and review platforms, providing a unified management layer that transforms scattered data and fragmented workflows into strategic assets. "In my conversations with clients, I consistently hear about the frustrations caused by data trapped in disparate platforms and repositories," said Michael Pontrelli, Client Experience Officer at Consilio. "Aurora changes that paradigm completely. By providing a single point of control and visibility across their entire portfolio, legal teams can track the progress of all matters, manage resources efficiently, and access powerful cross-project insights from one intuitive interface. This democratizes access to the immense scale and sophistication of data processing that was previously only available through bespoke engagements. We're providing a new blueprint for legal data management that prioritizes freedom, control, and success." Key features of Aurora include: Aurora DataCore – A reusable data repository that transforms scattered information into a unified, searchable knowledge base, enabling unprecedented efficiency through work product reuse Aurora Portal – Provides complete transparency and control across all review platforms and matters with real-time visibility and powerful analytics Aurora CoreECI (Early Case Intelligence) – Delivers powerful early case assessment capabilities with advanced searching and filtering, enabling rapid, data-driven decisions from day one Aurora AI Solutions Suite – Includes AI Investigate for smart searching and AI Summarize for automated document summarization, with more capabilities planned Built on Consilio's private cloud infrastructure, Aurora addresses growing concerns about data sovereignty and unpredictable costs associated with public cloud deployments. "We understand the critical importance of data security, sovereignty, and cost predictability," said Raj Chandrasekar, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Consilio. "Aurora's architecture leverages our highly scalable private cloud infrastructure, giving clients the confidence of enterprise-grade protection without the unpredictable costs of public cloud services. At the heart of Aurora is our proprietary DataCore technology—the culmination of over a decade of continuous refinement—which actively processes, enriches, and structures data, transforming raw information into a powerful asset primed for advanced analysis and reuse." Aurora is currently available to select Consilio clients and will have general availability in the coming months. Legal professionals can experience Aurora firsthand at Legalweek 2025 from March 24-27, where Consilio will be exhibiting and providing demonstrations of the platform's capabilities or register for a product preview webinar on April 4. "With Aurora, we're not just giving clients a new platform—we're providing a new paradigm for legal data management that prioritizes freedom, control, and success," added Pontrelli. "It's about transforming your legal enterprise to spend less time wrestling with data and more time extracting valuable insights."
