Most lawyers already know the one about how a bill becomes a law, and so for the sake of variety this is the story of how an app becomes part of Relativity. The e-discovery solutions provider has over 180,000 users all with a smorgasbord of different needs that make the company’s App Hub both a practical necessity and a prospective showcase for partners looking to show-off their development skills and build brand awareness.

According to Drew Deitch, director of strategic partnerships at Relativity, the platform currently has more than 85 different developers represented on its App Hub. Those relationships typically begin with an inquiry email sent by prospective app-licants to [email protected] and the initial screening criteria is actually pretty simple.
