Our Story
A developer by trade, kCura’s founder and CEO, Andrew
Sieja, has always recognized the importance of great
software. Beginning as a small software consulting firm in
2001, kCura has since grown to be an e-discovery software
company with more than 400 team members and an
expanding group of global partners and clients, with
Andrew’s original focus on building great software intact.
We decided to focus on e-discovery software specifically
after a consulting engagement with a law firm, in which
Andrew saw the need for an easy-to-use litigation review
application. It was a risk to drop the consulting practice to
focus on this software, joining a decade-old industry with
well-established legacy products.
We did find a place in the industry with Relativity, which
help corporations, law firms, and government agencies
solve e-discovery challenges. Relativity was designed
with the end user in mind and is offered as an in-house
installation or on demand through our partners. As
an organization that is focused on technology, we are
continuously finding ways to make our software more
flexible, more scalable, and easier to use.
