Consilio Launches Aurora for Legal Data Management
Consilio, a global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, announces the launch of Aurora, a Digital Enterprise Platform that transforms how legal teams manage legal data and eliminates the need to choose between the rigidity of a single platform and the inefficiency of fragmented review solutions. This provides unprecedented freedom of choice while maintaining unified control.
Today, law firms face escalating data volumes and complexity while legal resources remain constrained. In fact, according to a recent Consilio survey, 48% of legal teams ranked excessive workload as their biggest challenge. 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 exploring AI in document review but only 5% achieving full deployment.
"For too long, legal teams have faced an impossible choice between standardisation 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 organisation as a whole."
Aurora's 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 democratises access to the immense scale and sophistication of data processing previously only available through bespoke engagements. We provide a blueprint for legal data management that prioritises 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 Summarise for automated document summarisation, 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."
"With Aurora, we're not just giving clients a new platform—we're providing a new paradigm for legal data management that prioritises 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."
Aurora is currently available to select Consilio clients and will have general availability in the coming months.
