Reynen Court Inc., the pioneering software company supported by 50+ of the largest global law firms and in-house legal departments, today announced the release of version 3.0 of its single platform for legal technology.

The version 3.0 release features a major technical leap forward for the first-of-its-kind platform that enables law firms and legal departments to safely and efficiently deploy and maintain third-party cloud-based software applications in cloud infrastructure under their own control:

• Enhanced Configurability. New functionality streamlines fit-for-purpose setups such as hybrid on-premises/virtual private cloud arrangements or secure zone/DMZ deployments while also making it much easier for platform users to configure external databases for applications, implement log sinks, back-up storage and accomplish other integrations with third-party anchor solutions.
• Improved Maintainability. New architecture simplifies networking for application egress and enhances platform management and stability by, among other things, enabling platform users to leverage “battle-tested” Kubernetes distributions (such as Rancher’s RKE2 and Azure’s AKS).
• Accelerated Vendor Onboarding. New automation makes it easier for software vendors to make their products deployable through the platform, including powerful tooling that automatically generates Kubernetes manifests, platform-provided services and dependencies and a self-service testing environment for vendors. 
• Rapid Solution Store Iterations. A redesigned and rearchitected Solution Store allows more rapid iteration of features and updates of the curated content covering each vendor and its available software applications.

"We are extremely proud to unveil Version 3.0 of our ambitious platform," commented Andrew D. Klein, Reynen Court's founder and CEO.  “With unprecedented support from so many of the world’s leading law firms and legal departments, we have managed to successfully deliver a platform ready to truly change the game for innovation within the legal industry. While the prior version of the platform was production-ready, we are now delivering substantially more features and functionality and a level of maturity and stability that positions us to scale both sides of the marketplace.”

“Our Version 3.0 release represents enormous progress for Reynen Court and our entire ecosystem," added Reynen Court's Head of Strategy, Christian Lang. "Law firms and legal departments will find it far easier to set up and maintain our platform in private clouds of their choice, and to make third-party applications interoperable with their existing infrastructure and anchor applications.  For application vendors, it will take less time and less effort to get their products ready and certified for deployment through the platform.”

“We expect Version 3.0 will reduce vendors’ technical onboarding efforts by 75% or more compared to the V2 experience,” commented Tim Klem, Director of Vendor Operations. “The introduction of platform managed services is game-changing in its capacity to accelerate deployments.  Today, we have focused on a set of important services identified by our early counterparties, including Postgres, MySQL, S3-compatible object storage, Redis, and RabbitMQ. Additional services will come online shortly and overtime we intend to expand the portfolio substantially.”

“We would like to thank our users in law firms and legal departments as well as within the application vendor community. Without their continued support and valuable feedback Version 3.0 would not have been possible,” added Abhishek Mukherjee, Head of Product and Technology. “Today’s release is the result of almost one year of very collaborative hard work. Substantial learning has been incorporated into designing the most robust, performant and feature-rich version of the platform to date.” 

Today 160 products are currently participating in the Solution Store or actively developing a Solution Store listing.  Dozens of portable, containerized software applications are already deployable through the Reynen Court platform (i.e., can be deployed to a law firm's chosen infrastructure behind a security perimeter it controls).  Many more additional products are in flight. 

Twenty-six of the world’s largest and most influential law firms and legal departments are customers of the Reynen Court platform, which is available as a self-managed software application run in the legal organization’s own infrastructure (on-premises or in a virtual private cloud) or as a comprehensive service managed by Reynen Court for the organization.
